The Best Summer Fly-In Destinations for Pilots Stretching Their Wings

One of the perks of being a pilot is flying in to some of the most interesting and scenic destinations in the world. Here are the top picks for this summer from the team at Monmouth Executive Airport in NJ.

• Key West (KEYW), Florida Keys: Nothing says “Summer” quite like Florida, so pack your swimsuit and head down to the closest destination to the Caribbean you can get without having to deal with Customs!
• Dauphin Island (4R9), Alabama: Ever wanted to land on an aircraft carrier? This is the closest most pilots get! Also known as Jeremiah Denton Airport, you’ll come in just 5 feet above sea level onto a runway boarded by water on 3 sides.
• Block Island (KBID), Rhode Island: This is a great summer destination for anyone who loves exploring the natural world, diving to shipwrecks, and relaxing on wilderness beaches. The landing is pretty dramatic too, with a scenic but short 2,502 x 100-foot runway.
• First Flight Airport (KFFA), North Carolina: For this trip, you’re flying in the footsteps of the Wright Brothers when you land and take off at this historic airport, making it a must for any pilot. The scenic monument, just steps away from the runway, is truly breath-taking.
• Grand Canyon West (1G4), Arizona: Admire the mighty Grand Canyon from the ultimate viewpoint as you come in to land on this runway. The land is owned by the Hualapai tribe of Native Americans and there is a landing fee of up to $100, but the view and the experience is well worth it!
• Mackinac Island (KMCD), Michigan: With a newly reconstructed 3,500 runway, you’re guaranteed a smooth landing on this island destination. It’s a unique holiday experience here, with no motorized vehicles allowed on the island – so be prepared to enjoy a horse carriage ride into town, hiking, cycling and enjoying the historic town.

Exciting Upgrades for USA Airports!

The USA may be a leader when it comes to commercial and international air travel, both private and on commercial airliners, but our airports have long since lagged behind. In 2017, consumer-aviation website Skytrax ranked Singapore Changi International Airport as the best in the world for the 5^th time running. The top-ranking USA airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, didn’t even make the top 10. Or the top 20. It came in ranked 26^th behind Canadian, European and Asian airports. Although funding has come through for upgrades to big commercial travel hubs in the USA, including JFK International, there are some airports that are really taking the lead in the race to provide a more luxurious, efficient and client-first travel experience. Here’s how:

• More luxurious airport lounges: One of the best features of private jet travel is that your aircraft waits for you – not the other way around. However, on those rare occasions when a client may have to wait, luxury airport lounges make it a pleasure to do so. These spaces have transformed over the years to offer everything from fine dining and spa treatments to stylists and personal assistants. There are even hotel-like rooms where you can rest and relax.
• Airport transit made easy: From limousine and high-end car rental options to flying into the city by helicopter, airports are stepping up their services to ensure that you have a seamless experience from the moment you leave your front door to when you arrive at your final destination.
• Custom hangar space: Hangar space is at a premium, but private airports are focusing on opening up their land to offer solutions that keep jets in perfect condition through inclement weather and allow a more efficient and professional service to charter clients. In addition to shared hangar space, charter companies can design their own custom hangar space to be built on-site to perfectly suit their – and their clients’ – needs. This is accompanied by expert on-site aircraft maintenance services and refueling programs, all of which help provide private flyers with an exceptional travel experience.
