Westchester County Airport (KHPN) sits 33 miles north of midtown Manhattan, just over the Connecticut line in White Plains, and is the quieter Connecticut/Westchester alternative to Teterboro for NYC-area private aviation. Where KTEB is pure business aviation, KHPN handles a mix: a handful of scheduled commercial flights (JetBlue, American, Delta seasonal), a steady volume of corporate and charter traffic, and a meaningful fractional presence — NetJets, Wheels Up, and Flexjet all maintain regular movements here.
Runway 16/34 is 6,549 feet and Runway 11/29 is 4,451 feet, which is enough for the entire range of large-cabin business jets, including G650 and Global 7500 ops, though planners with heavier payloads sometimes plan KHPN-to-KTEB ferry legs for fuel uplift on long-range departures. Three FBOs (Signature, Million Air, and Atlantic) split the ramp. KHPN's defining operational feature is its strict per-day movement cap (240 daily op-pair limit) and aggressive noise-abatement procedures — heavy-jet operators on overnight stays should expect noise-compliance scrutiny and brief crews on the local procedures. Ground transport to White Plains is five minutes; Manhattan is 45–75 minutes depending on traffic.
