New York Eclipse 500 Charter

A very light jet gives a small New York group the speed of a jet without paying for a cabin it will not use.

The Eclipse 500 was built from 2006 to 2008. It seats 4 to 5 with a published range of 1,125 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 369 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 41,000 feet and 16 cubic feet of baggage volume.

Why the Eclipse 500 Fits New York

With 1,125 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from New York to destinations such as Montreal, Chicago and Bermuda, allowing for reserves and routing. Summer weekends to the Hamptons and the islands fill early, with Thursday departures and Sunday returns the busiest, so aircraft for those dates are worth booking well ahead.

Smaller aircraft give New York clients the widest choice of airports, from Teterboro and Westchester County to Republic in Farmingdale, Morristown and, in summer, East Hampton and Gabreski for the Hamptons. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, its weight and the day’s weather, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.

How New York Clients Use the Eclipse 500

New York clients use very light jets for day trips with two to four passengers, such as a meeting in Boston, Washington or Toronto and home the same evening. Bags usually run out of room before the seats do, so pack light.

Send us the route, the passenger count and what everyone is bringing, and your advisor will tell you whether this aircraft fits the trip or suggest one that fits better.
