About This Route

The Seattle to New York corridor connects the Pacific Northwest's dominant tech and aerospace economy with the financial and cultural capital of the world. Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing executives routinely use this route to access New York's investment community, media landscape, and international business network.

Flying private from Boeing Field or Paine Field directly to Teterboro or Westchester eliminates the frustration of Sea-Tac's crowded terminals and JFK's complex connections — delivering clients door-to-door across the continent in under 5.5 hours.

This route serves a diverse client base: tech executives attending investor meetings, entrepreneurs raising capital, and affluent families maintaining bicoastal lifestyles. Demand is consistent year-round with notable peaks around New York's fall finance and fashion seasons.
