About Robinson Aviation
Robinson Aviation has operated at Tweed New Haven Airport since 1989, providing FBO services at southern Connecticut's primary general aviation facility. The airport sits in East Haven, about five minutes from downtown New Haven and the Yale University campus, making it a convenient arrival point for academic visitors, prospective students, and business travelers connected to Yale's medical center and research ecosystem. Robinson Aviation offers full-service Jet A and Avgas fueling, spacious heated hangars, a modern passenger and crew lounge, and a comprehensive concierge package that covers ground transportation, hotel arrangements, and catering coordination. The company also holds a Part 135 charter certificate and operates on-demand flights for executives and families. On-site maintenance is available, and the affiliated New Haven Aviation Center runs flight training and aircraft rental programs. The airport's 5,600-foot runway accommodates light and midsize jets, and its position along the I-95 corridor between New York City and Boston gives it strategic value as a less congested alternative to the New York metro airports. The drive to Midtown Manhattan takes about 90 minutes, while Hartford is roughly 40 minutes north. New Haven itself has a strong restaurant scene, with Frank Pepe's and other celebrated pizzerias drawing food visitors from across the region. The Long Island Sound shoreline is minutes away. For charter passengers heading to Yale or the southern Connecticut coast, Robinson Aviation offers a calm, personalized arrival that avoids the delays and high fees of the larger New York and Connecticut airports.
