About Atlantic Aviation (East & West)
Atlantic Aviation operates two terminals at Westchester County Airport, 30 miles north of Midtown Manhattan. The East terminal handles lighter aircraft at or below 12,500 lbs maximum gross weight. The West terminal handles heavier business jets and large turboprops. Running two dedicated facilities on the same field lets crews focus on specific aircraft classes rather than managing mixed ramp traffic from a single location.
Both terminals provide Jet A and 100LL fueling, maintenance and repair services, tie-down options, and de-icing for winter operations. US Customs clears at KHPN, making it a valid arrival point for direct international flights into the New York area without the processing volume and highway delays associated with JFK and Newark.
Westchester's position shortens the door-to-destination timeline for anyone traveling to Westchester County, the lower Hudson Valley, Connecticut shoreline, or northern Midtown. Ground transport into the city takes 45 to 60 minutes under normal conditions. JFK itineraries, when ramp time, customs processing, and highway driving are added together, typically run considerably longer.
BLADE helicopter service connects the White Plains area to Manhattan's West 30th Street heliport in approximately 12 minutes. For passengers with tight arrival schedules, this option compresses total travel time to under 30 minutes from ramp to office for most Midtown destinations. Metro-North's Harlem Line departs White Plains station and reaches Grand Central Terminal in roughly 40 minutes on express trains, a practical alternative for passengers heading directly to Midtown's east side without car service.
De-icing at both terminals covers Type I and Type IV fluids, keeping departure schedules intact when snow or freezing rain moves through the region. Atlantic's AVTRIP rewards program accumulates points on fuel and handling across all 100-plus network locations.
Amenities and services
Operations at Westchester County Airport
Midtown Manhattan is about 30 miles south, typically 45 to 60 minutes by car without traffic. With heavy I-287 or Saw Mill Parkway congestion, that can stretch to 90 minutes. Greenwich CT is 15 miles east, around 20 to 25 minutes. Stamford CT is 20 miles east, 25 to 30 minutes. Car service from the Westchester and Greenwich area runs directly to the FBO ramp. Uber and Lyft are available but local hired car services are more reliable for timed arrivals. For Manhattan-bound passengers who need to beat traffic, helicopter transfers to the West 30th Street Heliport are available from the field. The heliport is about 5 minutes by air from KHPN and puts passengers in Midtown in under 20 minutes total.
