In their words
After too many frustrating drives to the Hamptons and far too many hours on I-95, creating first-class, hassle-free routes to all of our favorite destinations seemed like a no-brainer to us- especially with that beautiful airstrip called the East River sitting right there!
And while our mission is fun, our operation is all business.
We fly state-of-the-art aircraft piloted by the industry’s best-trained pilots.

Excellent airline! Actually the best customer service I've experienced of any airline in 40 years of flying.On time. Very personalized and attention to detail. Clean plane, comfortable lounge style seats. The pilot was friendly and told us all the safety things. I could see all the cockpit controls during the flight, it was cool. Smooth flight, round trip STT to STX, March 2024. I actually had a customer service question and I got a detailed response from the president of the airline. I'm pretty sure the CEOs of one of the big airlines would not be replying to me :-)
