Modern Aviation

Modern Aviation at Long Island MacArthur Airport provides the second FBO option at this Suffolk County field, located at 90 Arrival Avenue in Ronkonkoma. The facility offers on-site U.S. Customs clearance for international arrivals, de-icing services for winter operations, and the ability to arrange limousine pickup and ground transportation. Hours run from 6:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. with after-hours on-call service available for an additional fee. MacArthur Airport sits about 50 miles east of midtown Manhattan in the center of Long Island, making it a less congested alternative to the New York City airports for passengers whose travel originates or ends on Long Island. The airport handles both commercial airline service and general aviation traffic on its 7,006-foot primary runway, which accommodates the midsize and super-midsize jets commonly used for charter flights. Modern Aviation's national network brings standardized service procedures and competitive fuel pricing to a market where fuel costs at the NYC-area airports can be significantly higher. The trained staff handles ground logistics smoothly, from customs clearance to coordinating car services for the drive to the Hamptons, Montauk, or the North Shore. During summer months, weekend traffic to the East End creates heavy demand for private aviation, and having two FBOs on the field helps distribute that volume. The Gold Coast mansions and vineyards of the North Fork are both accessible from MacArthur. For charter passengers who want the convenience of a Long Island arrival without the landing fees and congestion of JFK or Republic, Modern Aviation at ISP is a practical choice.
