Private jet empty legs
New York → East Hampton
New York to East Hampton is the shortest, highest-frequency private aviation corridor in the US — 45 minutes gate-to-gate by light jet, 35 minutes by helicopter. Peak summer (Memorial Day through Labor Day) sees 200+ private movements per weekend into KHTO. Charter pricing is compressed by the short leg: light jet (Phenom 100, Citation Mustang) is $6,500-9,500 one-way; empty legs Fri-return + Mon-return-to-city are $5,500-7,000. Helicopters (Blade, uber-copter operators, private BellS-76) run $2,500-3,500. Sunday evening return-to-Manhattan empty legs are the primary supply pattern — Hamptons weekenders fly out Sunday afternoon, aircraft repositions back to Teterboro or Farmingdale, and Monday-morning empty legs list at 40-50% off.

Why this route has empty legs
The Hamptons private aviation flow is extraordinarily asymmetric — Fri outbound + Sun return dominate. Every Sunday evening, aircraft that dropped weekend clients Friday must reposition back to NYC-area airports empty. Sunday-Monday NYC-bound empty legs at 40-50% off are the standard supply pattern.
Seasonality
Extreme peak: Memorial Day → Labor Day (approx May 25 → Sep 5). Peak demand: July + August weekends. Empty leg supply: highest Sunday evenings + Monday mornings. Off-season (Oct-Apr) has 80% less private traffic — supply nearly zero but so is demand.

Frequently asked questions
Jet vs helicopter to East Hampton?+
Helicopter (Blade, BellS-76, AW139) — 35 min door-to-door if departing from Manhattan West 30th heliport, $2,500-3,500 per seat. Light jet from Teterboro — 45 min + 20-min drive from KTEB to Manhattan, $5,500+ full charter. Helicopter wins for weekender + solo travellers with a Manhattan pickup; jets win for larger parties (6-8 people) + heavier luggage + Long Island origin (Farmingdale KFRG is 10 min from KHTO). Blade's per-seat model competes directly with charter — often the cheapest option for 1-2 passengers.
East Hampton airport (KHTO) noise curfew?+
KHTO has a strict noise curfew: 20:00-07:00 for jets, plus a Type 1 helicopter restriction that limits certain rotorcraft models. Weekend flight limits (400/year cap) are enforced but rarely reached. Ongoing East Hampton airport privatization debate may add more restrictions post-2026 — check operator confirmation carefully.
Can I extend East Hampton onward to Nantucket + Martha's Vineyard?+
Yes — light jets routinely add a 25-min hop KHTO → KACK (Nantucket) or KMVY (Martha's Vineyard) for weekend island-hopping. Cost: $1,500-2,500 per leg. Empty leg supply on these inter-island hops is high — operators positioning between the three islands routinely list return legs at 50%+ off.
Late arrival at Teterboro on Sunday — what to expect?+
Sunday evening 18:00-22:00 is Teterboro peak traffic — expect FBO ramp congestion, 15-30 min delays on ground handling, and heavy Route 3/Turnpike traffic on the drive back to Manhattan (60-90 min if you land at 19:00). Book a car service to be at KTEB 45 min before wheels-down. Monday-morning empty leg Aspen/East Hampton returns are the quieter alternative.
