When the Ground Is Not an Option
There are moments in New York when traffic is not a variable — it is a wall. A flight lands at JFK at 5 PM on a Friday before a holiday weekend. A client needs to be in the Hamptons by 7. Ground transportation cannot solve that equation.
A helicopter can.
The Routes That Make Sense
- Manhattan to the Hamptons: approximately 45 minutes by helicopter vs. 3-5 hours by car on a summer Friday
- JFK or Teterboro to Manhattan: bypass ground traffic entirely on arrival
- Manhattan to Newark or JFK for departures: when timing is critical
How PCNY Coordinates Helicopter Transfers
PCNY coordinates the full transfer — ground transportation to the helipad, helicopter booking through vetted private operators, and ground transportation on the other end. The client makes one call. Everything else is handled.
Transfers typically originate from the West 30th Street Heliport in Manhattan, with connections to East Hampton Airport and other regional destinations.
What to Expect
Helicopter transfers require advance booking — PCNY recommends at least 24-48 hours for reliable scheduling. Contact PCNY directly to discuss routing, timing, and availability for your specific itinerary.
