Why this route produces empty legs

Republic Airport at Farmingdale sits in the middle of Long Island and Westchester County Airport sits at White Plains north of the city. The two are 25 nautical miles apart in a straight line, and every one of the fourteen listings here publishes the same block time, 36 minutes.

This is repositioning, not travelling. On a sector this short almost all of that 36 minutes is taxi, departure and approach rather than cruise. Nobody drives to Farmingdale in order to fly to White Plains. What the leg is worth is that an aircraft is being brought up from Long Island to start a trip out of Westchester, and the positioning sector is open while it happens.

It is the largest single flow into White Plains on our board. Fourteen of the 48 arrivals we have recorded into Westchester County came from Farmingdale, ahead of Teterboro at nine. Out of Farmingdale it is the second largest destination, fourteen against sixteen for Teterboro, so these two short hops are most of what Republic produces.

Two aircraft, in two blocks. The five legs in late September are a Beechcraft Hawker 900XP with eight seats. The nine from 5 October onwards are a Gulfstream G-IV with twelve. That is two airframes working in sequence rather than a mixed fleet, so the cabin depends entirely on which block a date falls in.

When they show up

Fourteen legs on fourteen separate dates between 18 September and 20 November 2026. Five came in a run between 18 and 27 September, then five on five consecutive days from 5 to 9 October, then four spread roughly weekly into November.

Four were still on the board when this page was built, 18 and 25 October and 1 and 20 November. The other ten have flown and not one listing was withdrawn, which is unusual: on most corridors some listings disappear before the date they were posted for.

The airports on this route

• Republic (KFRG): at Farmingdale in central Long Island, the departure on all fourteen legs, and the pair the computed distance on this page uses.
• Long Island Mac Arthur (KISP): at Islip, the other Long Island field with traffic on our board, and the departure on none of these legs.
• Westchester County (KHPN): at White Plains, the arrival on all fourteen legs, and the nearest business aviation field to northern Westchester and lower Connecticut.
• Teterboro (KTEB): the busier New York area field, and the arrival on none of these legs.

Both ends of this sector are New York metro fields, so the only question a passenger has is which side of the city they are going to. The 25 nautical miles between them cross the western end of Long Island Sound, which is why an aircraft is flown between the two rather than simply driven round.

Every leg we have on record for this route

Between 31 July and 16 October 2026 we recorded 14 empty legs from Farmingdale to White Plains. None of them carried a published price: every operator on this corridor lists it on request. All fourteen publish the same block time, 36 minutes, and all fourteen publish a seat count, twelve on the Gulfstream G-IV legs and eight on the Beechcraft Hawker 900XP legs. None publishes a price or a tail number.

This is a record, not availability. These are the legs we saw on this corridor in that window, kept so the route has a history you can judge it by. None of them is bookable from this table. What is actually open right now is the live list above, and if it is empty the route alert is the way to catch the next one.

Before you book

The price on a card is the operator's figure for the whole aircraft. What that comes to per seat, across every type we see, is in how much an empty leg private jet costs.

Not one of the fourteen legs carries a published price. Northeastern Aviation publishes no figure on any of its 407 listings on this board, across 174 city pairs. That is the operator's practice rather than anything about this route, so the price comes from the operator when you ask and we show nothing rather than guess.

What the listings do give is the cabin and the block. All fourteen publish a seat count, twelve on the Gulfstream G-IV legs and eight on the Beechcraft Hawker 900XP legs, and all fourteen publish the same 36 minute block. None publishes a tail number.

A 25 nautical mile empty leg is priced like an aircraft movement, not like a journey. Whatever figure the operator gives is for the whole aircraft, as every price on this site is, and on a sector this short the fixed cost of moving the aeroplane at all matters more than the hourly rate. Ask for the number rather than assuming a short hop is a cheap one.

Ask the operator whether the departure time can still move, what happens if the paid flight behind the positioning leg falls through, and whether they would reposition to the field you actually want instead. On a sector between two of the same operator's working fields that last question is often the useful one. Farmingdale to Teterboro is the busier movement out of Republic and has a page of its own.
