Spring is here and the weather is getting warmer, so it’s the perfect time to start planning some day trips. Monmouth Jet Center is the perfect executive airport for shorter day trips in and around New Jersey, and we offer a range of services including hangar space, private jet maintenance, passenger amenities including a lounge, and not to mention the convenient location. Here are some of our favorite day trips. 

New York City

Who doesn’t love New York City, especially in the springtime? Flying from Monmouth Jet Center to NYC takes less than an hour, and before you know it you’ll be in the Big Apple enjoying the hustle and bustle. Whether you want to pop into NYC for a fun day of shopping, or to catch a Broadway show, or to sight-see at some of the most famous destinations in the world, you can get there easily via Monmouth Jet Center. 

Philadelphia

If you love history then you’ll have plenty to do and see in Philadelphia, which is the first World Heritage City in the United States. Philadelphia is perfect for a day trip or a quick weekend trip to see the sights, including:

  • The Liberty Bell
  • The steps from the classic movie Rocky, along with the Rocky statue
  • Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed and the United States Constitution was created
  • The famous LOVE sculpture by artist Robert Indiana
  • Reading Terminal Market, one of America’s oldest farmers markets

Block Island

Block Island is a beautiful island located 17 miles south of Rhode Island. It’s famous for its miles of beautiful public beaches, clear waters, dramatic bluffs, and its preserved natural beauty. Animal lovers will want to visit the Block Island National Wildlife Refuge, where you can see migratory songbirds, and architecture enthusiasts will enjoy the island’s two lighthouses – one on the North end and one on the South end. If you’re craving a peaceful, scenic beach getaway where you can escape your everyday hustle and bustle, Block Island is an ideal destination for you. 

The Jersey Shore

The Jersey Shore has so much to offer for families, couples, and those who enjoy traveling solo, and you don’t need to wait until the summer to visit. Take a stroll down the two famous boardwalks, Ocean City Boardwalk and Atlantic City Boardwalk, then visit the Cape May Lighthouse. Cape May Beach and Wildwood Beach attract thousands of visitors a year, and we know you’ll enjoy the dozens of miles of beautiful coastline and soothing ocean waters. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the Cape May County Park and Zoo, and there’s even a Jersey Shore Alpaca Park where you can get up close and personal with the alpacas. 

At Monmouth Jet Center we provide private jet maintenance, hangar space, and much more. We are conveniently located in close proximity to several excellent day trip destinations, and our executive airport is much less hassle than a large commercial airport.

Jet service and hangar space – rent or build?

7 December 2021   Hangar Space

If you’re in the market for aircraft hangar space then you have several options: renting, buying, or building. Your aircraft is a big investment and having a safe place to store it is essential. In this article, our NJ team at Monmouth Jet Center explores the various options available to you when it comes to acquiring hangar space. 

Investor owned or leased?

If you want to invest in your own aircraft hangar, you always have the option to lease it when you’re not using it. Many investors negotiate ground leases with local aircraft owners who need hangar space. And at smaller airports like Monmouth Jet Center, you’ll never have to put your name on a waiting list or wonder if there will be space for your aircraft. 

Advantages of owning a hangar

When you own a private hangar you can customize it to your exact specifications. You’ll never need to negotiate any hangar leases or worry about finding hangar space to rent, and you’ll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your aircraft is completely secure. Another advantage of owning a hangar is you always have the option to rent it out in the future, earning you extra income. 

The cost of building your own facility

Costs vary depending on your needs, but as a general rule, you can expect to spend $22 per square foot when building a custom aircraft hangar. It’s important to understand that when you build your own facility, you will technically own the hangar, but you’ll still be leasing the ground it’s built on. You’ll also be responsible for insurance costs, maintenance costs, repairs, and any upgrades you decide on. 

The benefits of leasing space

Leasing can be a convenient option if you aren’t ready for the responsibility of owning your own hangar. Each airport has its own terms and conditions with ground leases, and at Monmouth we do our best to accommodate your needs and your schedule. 

If you’d like to know more about renting or building custom hangar space, or if you have any questions about our airport, please contact our team at Monmouth Jet Center today. We look forward to hearing from you.

What is an FBO airport?

5 October 2021   General

A fixed base operator (FBO) airport is an airport that has granted permission to an organization (a FBO) to use the airport to provide a variety of services, including refueling, aircraft maintenance, hangar space, pilot training, and more. FBOs are commercial companies that operate on airport property, and they often enhance the scope of services the airport has to offer. In this article, our team will discuss the advantages of FBO services and how they differ between private and passenger aircrafts. 

Important services FBOs provide 

Depending on the size of the airport in which they’re located, FBOs provide a range of important services and amenities for both private and commercial aircraft, pilots, crews, and passengers, including:

  • Fueling services
  • Parking
  • Custom hangar space
  • Taxi and shuttle services
  • Private jet charters
  • Flight lessons
  • Aircraft repair and maintenance
  • Lounges for pilots and crew
  • Baggage handling

… just to name a few!

Private versus passenger aircraft 

FBO airports work with private jet charters to provide hassle-free passenger security screening, so you won’t wait in long queues. FBOs also handle boarding and baggage delivery, while many have restroom facilities, showers, lounge areas, and concierge services for pilots, aircraft crew, and passengers. For the ultimate flying experience, some FBOs provide in-flight catering, making sure your every need is taken care of while you’re in the air. 

Passenger aircraft also utilize services at an FBO airport, including taxi and shuttle services, airport lounges, long-term and short-term parking, WiFi, and restroom facilities. 

Airport amenities at FBO Airports

Waiting in an airport is much more comfortable when you have access to a range of amenities. At FBO airports, you’ll commonly find free WiFi, restroom facilities, lounges where you can rest and recharge, and light refreshments. Amenities for pilots and airline crew often include all of the above plus shower facilities.

Ground handling at FBO Airports

Ground handling includes a range of essential airport services, including sorting and delivering baggage, ramp handling for boarding and deplaning, managing passenger check-in, fuelling the aircraft, and cleaning. Ground handlers often go unseen but their roles are critical, and airports cannot function properly without them.
