WHY YOU SHOULD RENT AN AIRPLANE HANGAR FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT

 An airplane hangar is a big room for an airplane sure, but it turns out that hangars at Monmouth Jet Center have a secret life. They are often rented out when someone needs a huge space for an event. Need space for 500 or more people at your wedding? You might be a candidate. Need to build an indoor set for your next, hit indie film? We got you covered. A rehearsal space for your concert tour? Been there, done that…. Even the Boss himself has spent some time brushing up in one of our hangars before hitting the stage! If you’re not yet convinced, here are more reasons to consider MJC hangars for your next big event.

Photo & video shoots that take off

Since by definition, hangars are on airports, there’s a bunch of cool, built-in settings available at an airport including all kinds of photogenic planes and jets. And did you know that these planes and jets land on the longest private runway in the country? To have an exclusive and seemingly endless runway as the backdrop for your next big music video, or photo shoot – I’m not sure if another setting can even come close. Throw on a flowing dress, let your hair down and you’re ready to take off! 

Wedding venue for the unconventional bride

Finding the right venue is a challenge for every bride, especially the bride who is not the most traditional and who has a big extended family. If you’d rather not have your wedding at the local catering hall or a rustic barn nearby, consider an airplane hangar. It’s edgy, out of the box, and the best part? You can decorate the space in any way you’d like! Take a minute and just imagine how scenic your wedding photos will be on the runway. And of course, those guests from out of town can fly in and land right at your venue!

Concert rehearsals or private movie sets 

“The boss,” also known as music legend Bruce Springsteen, has indeed been known to rent out an airplane hangar at MJC to rehearse before a big show. Since we’re so close to his home turf of Asbury Park, it was the logical thing to do! He had more than enough room for his whole team to set up a mock concert stage. 

With that much room and privacy, you could also use one of our hangars as an independent film set. As mentioned above, the space can be customized in any way you’d like. You can build an intricate, sci-fi world like The Hobbit or keep it simple with an outdated workspace like that of The Office. It’s all up to you, director.

TURBOPROPS & TWIN PISTONS: KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

 We’re huge aircraft enthusiasts at Monmouth Airport. Over the years we’ve enjoyed seeing people experience the luxury and the convenience of private planes, and we welcome all flying enthusiasts to share our passion for traveling and exploring the skies. When choosing your aircraft there are many things to think about, and one decision you’ll need to make is between a turboprop aircraft or a twin piston aircraft. So what are the major differences between these two types of aircraft?

Turboprops

Turboprop aircraft are ideal for journeys that are less than 500 miles, and they can easily land in places considered less accessible like shorter runways and large grass fields. If you’re riding in a turboprop aircraft you can usually land very close to your destination, at a smaller executive airport for example, making the journey more convenient for you.

Compared to jets, turboprops are less expensive – from operating costs to maintenance costs to fuel costs and other expenses, they’re an overall more cost-effective option. Their lower costs are reflected in their size, as most turboprops can hold anywhere from 4 – 8 passengers, but that doesn’t mean they are any less spacious or less comfortable than twin piston planes. You’ll still be able to relax in style as you enjoy the ride. 

Twin pistons

Twin piston aircraft can hold up to six passengers, and they’re well-suited for short flights around 300 miles or less. If you’re looking to hop up and down the coast for a long weekend, or take an impromptu vacation at the Jersey Shore, a twin piston may be the best choice. These aircraft usually operate under altitude restrictions, meaning they can only ascend up to a certain point, which is yet another reason that twin pistons are an excellent choice for short trips.

Because twin piston aircraft have two engines, they can reach faster cruise speeds and climb faster than single engine planes. These aircraft can also access shorter runways, similar to turboprops, and they’re able to land at smaller, executive airports like Monmouth Airport. 

Invest in your own hangar space

Whichever type of aircraft you determine is the best for you, one thing is certain – having your own hangar space is a very worthy investment. Many large commercial airports do have aircraft hangars, but the waiting list can be long and you’re not guaranteed a spot. Choose a smaller executive airport and enjoy the convenience, your own hangar space, and on-site, around-the-clock aircraft maintenance.

CAN PRIVATE JETS LAND ANYWHERE?

 Private jets come with many perks: you can fly at your convenience and determine your own take-off time, you don’t have waste hours standing around the boarding gate, you don’t have to check your luggage or worry about lost bags, and you’ll have complete privacy for the duration of your flight. But one question lots of people have is, can private jets land anywhere?

The answer isn’t as straightforward as a simple yes or no, so let’s explore some different scenarios and preferences:

Private jets can land at large commercial airports, but there may be long waits. Hundreds of flights land at major airports like JKF and LaGuardia every single day, and private jets are often required to wait before landing. So, while private jets can land at busy commercial airports like these, most people prefer to use smaller, private airports like Monmouth Airport because they’re less likely to experience delays. 

Many pilots prefer landing at smaller executive airports because they’re more efficient. Flying a private jet means you’re responsible for paying fuel, ramp, and landing charges. Commercial airports are often more expensive, so there’s a chance you’ll pay more. Due to congestion, private jets are often rushed off the runway upon landing, adding to the stress of landing at a crowded, busy airport. Using a private airport makes the entire experience more efficient – cheaper fees, you won’t be hurried off the runway, and you won’t experience congestion upon landing.

Executive airports have amenities that commercial airports don’t have. Once you land your private jet, you need somewhere to store it until you’re ready to fly again. There are often long waiting lists for hangar space at busy commercial airports, and their fees can be expensive. Smaller executive airports like Monmouth Airport have affordable aircraft hangars with no wait time, making it convenient for you.

The benefits of having your own hangar space

Having your own hangar space comes with many benefits. Unlike landing at busy commercial airports, when you have your own hangar space at an executive airport you know there’s always a space for you. You can take off and land at your own convenience, and you’ll never need to put your name on a waiting list. Also, many private airports also have on-site aircraft maintenance teams who will service your aircraft and keep it in prime condition. 

For more information about Monmouth Executive Airport and the many perks we provide, including custom hangar space and aircraft maintenance, please contact us today. Discover why so many people choose Monmouth Airport as their preferred executive airport. We look forward to hearing from you.

5 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHARTER BROKER

 Private jet charter brokers act as the middle person between you and private jet companies, and they’re responsible for a variety of things including arranging aircraft leases, finding you the best private jet for your needs, and helping to book flights, to name a few. At Monmouth Airport we recommend doing a bit of research before deciding on a charter broker, because choosing a private jet is a big decision and safety is of the utmost importance. Here are five questions to ask potential charter brokers that’ll help you pick the best one for you:

• How long have you been in business? You want a broker who can demonstrate longevity in the industry, because their knowledge and experience will be a valuable part of the brokering process. 
• Can you share your client reviews? Ideally, you’ll choose a charter broker who has a proven track record of satisfied clients. In addition to reading reviews the broker gives you, it’s worth your time to do your own internet searches and check independent review sites to get an idea of people’s experiences.
• What accreditations and industry memberships do you have? You want a broker whose company has gone through voluntary accreditation programs because it shows they take their job seriously. They should also be a member of certain industry organizations like BACA, NBAA, and EBAA. These organizations have strict standards and being a member of them reflects positively on a company.
• Can you tell me about your safety standards? Safety is of the utmost importance, and reputable charter brokers abide by the most rigorous safety standards. Ask them to explain how they choose which jet companies to partner with, what their vetting processes are, and any other safety procedures they have.
• What’s included in the price? When a broker gives you a quote, it’s your responsibility to verify what that quote includes. Some companies include things like taxes and catering fees in their initial quote, while some might not include these costs until after you’ve approved the cost.

 

Why invest in your own hangar space? 

For those who have their own private jets, investing in your own aircraft hangar at a smaller executive airport is certainly worth it. Commercial airports often have long waiting lists, but executive airports like Monmouth Airport can accommodate your aircraft with no wait. Knowing that you always have your own hangar space makes traveling more convenient and less stressful, and you can come and go as you please uninterrupted.

THE MOST EXTREME AIRPORTS IN THE WORLD

The Coronavirus has had a significant impact on air travel in 2020 and for those that love to travel, you may be eager to explore the world again. If getting on an airplane leaves you with knots in your stomach though, you might want to avoid the following five airports and travel elsewhere. 

• Juancho E Yrausquin Airport

A Google search of this airport will come up with the description, “Airport in Hell’s Gate, Caribbean Netherlands.” If the name isn’t enough to put you off, then take heed that this airport boasts an insanely short runway of a meager 400 meters, making it the world’s shortest commercial landing strip. It’s also built on the only flat space on the side of a mountain on a volcanic island, and only specially certified pilots are allowed to land there. 

• Courchevel Airport France

This Altiport serves a ski resort called Courchevel in the picturesque French Alps. It has a short runway of only 518 meters with the highest gradient in the world of 18.6% so taking off or landing is extremely dangerous on such a steep slope. There’s also a no go-around procedure for landings there, due to the surrounding mountains and slopes.

• Barra International Airport in Scotland

Barra is a wild and windy island with fewer than 1200 inhabitants who speak mostly Gaelic. Their scenic airport is one of a kind because it is the only airport in the world where scheduled flights use a tidal beach as the runway, which literally disappears at high tide. Obviously, airlines follow a strict schedule and only land in very particular weather conditions but it rates as one of the world’s most beautiful airport landings and draws tourists and aviation enthusiasts from all over.

• Gisborne Airport New Zealand

Gisborne Airport is located 4.2km from the city center of Gisborne on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is unique because it is one of the few airports in the world that has a railway line crossing the main runway. There needs to be impeccable scheduling between the railway and airlines to avoid collisions. In addition to that, it only has one main runway and 3 grass runways. 

• Princess Juliana International Airport St Marteen 

When an airport has to be built to withstand inclement weather like hurricanes and earthquakes, you should not be surprised if you have a bumpy ride. Not great for nervous passengers who hate turbulence. Landing is also somewhat terrifying not only for the people on the plane but also for any relaxing on Maho beach close by as the plane flies extremely low and passes only 10 – 20 meters above the actual beach and any sunbathing on it.

Monmouth Executive Airport in New Jersey offers comfort, convenience, and custom hangar space 

If you are looking for an airport that’s comfortable and conveniently located close to New York, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia, look no further than Monmouth Airport. We also offer amenities like hangar space NJ as well as aircraft maintenance NJ  to keep you up in the air and soaring with the eagles.

POST-COVID 19 AIR TRAVEL

 The Coronavirus pandemic has left many wondering how and when they will be able to safely travel and visit friends and family that live overseas. Although some domestic airlines are operating again, safety and social distancing are a valid concern and may prove to be quite difficult to implement in busy airport terminals and oftentimes tightly packed commercial planes with small seats and little legroom, to say the least.

Many believe that technology like biometrics might become the new normal at check-ins and security points as it helps to avoid human-to-human contact and the handling of documents back and forth and thus the spreading of germs. Facial recognition as well as fingerprint and eye-scan technology could prove to be the way forward to assist in maintaining social distancing at airports and may also allow for the faster processing of passengers through airport terminals. 

Time is money and the time spent to board a commercial aircraft post-COVID 19 could be lengthy considering all the new health and safety protocols that airlines and airports will have to implement. That’s why private aviation is so appealing. 

4 reasons why private aviation saves time and poses fewer risks

• Passengers boarding a private jet spend a lot less time at the airport because the average time from arriving at the airport to boarding your charter plane is less than 15 minutes.
• Fewer people at the airport mean fewer health and safety procedures thus saving you time, and if we may state the obvious, far fewer passengers on your plane.
• No queues at immigration, fewer shops (if any) and no need for baggage to be labeled at the check-in counter all mean less human interaction and fewer safety risks for those who simply cannot afford to get sick or who may be in a high-risk category should they get sick from the Coronavirus.
• Chartering a private jet at Monmouth Jet Center also means you can fly at your own schedule because smaller jets fly faster and higher than commercial airlines and so their flight paths are more direct and they do not compete with larger airlines for airspace. 

Monmouth Executive airport offers low-risk travel solutions, custom hangar space in NJ as well as a flight school in NJ

You can even learn to fly NJ at Monmouth airport in New Jersey which is conveniently located just outside of crowded NY area airspace making it one of the safest places to learn to fly and one of the top flight schools in NJ. Enjoy some flying lessons in NJ and experience the thrill of learning to fly NJ in uncrowded airspace and beautiful surroundings.

EVERYTHING YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT PRIVATE AIRPORTS

 Private airports, also called executive airports, are becoming more popular as people discover how convenient they are. Despite the luxurious scenes you imagine when you hear the phrase “private airport”, the reality is that executive airports are often similar to commercial airports, the exception being they’re more convenient for a variety of reasons. If you’ve never used a private airport before, you may be wondering what the experience is like.

There’s virtually no waiting

We’re all familiar with flying into and out of commercial airports, and unfortunately, there can be a lot of waiting. From the security line to hanging around at the terminal until it’s time to board, waiting time often accounts for several hours, and that doesn’t even include time spent in the air. At private airports, the plane and the crew will be ready right when you arrive – in fact, they’re often ready even earlier, meaning you don’t lose hours of your day and you don’t need to battle long lines.

Closer to your destination

Private airports are often located much closer to downtown areas, unlike commercial airports which are mostly located in major cities. Being closer to downtown areas means you get to your destination more quickly, and you can even easily visit multiple airports in a single day. Many business travelers prefer to use executive airports for this reason, as it causes minimum disruption to their busy schedules. 

Fewer weather-related delays

Everyone has experienced weather-related delays on commercial flights, and these delays can even cause your trip to be postponed for an entire day. At a private airport, once there’s a clear window of weather and it’s safe to fly, you’ll be on your way to your destination.  

You don’t need to own a private aircraft to use a private airport

One of the biggest misconceptions about private airports is that they’re only used by people who own private jets, but this is certainly not true. Executive airports across the country offer aircraft rental services, meaning you can rent an aircraft in one city, fly to your destination, and drop it off, giving you the ultimate in convenience and flexibility. 

Many private airports also offer flight schools

Executive airports aren’t just an aircraft storage facility. Many also double as flight schools and offer flying lessons for people of all experience levels. So, if you’re interested in learning to fly, check out your local private airport and see if they offer flying lessons.

Enjoy the convenience of executive airports

We’re conveniently located in New Jersey, close to New York, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia, we have affordable hangar space available now, and we have an on-site flight school. To learn more about Monmouth Airport, please contact us today. We look forward to hearing from you.
