Charter a private jet to the US Open and arrive at tennis’s loudest, most electric Grand Slam without a moment lost to commercial terminals or New York traffic. The 2026 US Open runs from August 23 to September 13 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, Queens — 22 days of competition, the longest edition in the tournament’s history, building to the finals weekend on September 12–13.
Ari Jets arranges seamless private aviation for players, sponsors, corporate hospitality groups, and fans who want to experience Arthur Ashe Stadium on their own schedule. With the New York metro area home to more private jet infrastructure than anywhere on earth, the right airport, FBO, and ground plan make the difference between a two-hour slog and a fifteen-minute glide to your seat.
Flushing Meadows sits in north-central Queens — which changes the usual New York charter calculus. Teterboro is the default answer for Manhattan, but for the tennis center specifically, the Queens and Long Island fields are geographically closer. The right choice depends on your aircraft size, where you’re staying, and how you want to cover the final miles.
| Airport | Code | Location | Drive to Venue | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LaGuardia | LGA | Queens, NY | 10–15 min | Closest field; light–midsize jets, slot-controlled |
| Teterboro | TEB | Bergen County, NJ | 30–45 min | Premier NY-area gateway; all GA aircraft |
| Westchester County | HPN | White Plains, NY | 35–50 min | Larger cabins; CT/Westchester guests |
| Republic | FRG | Farmingdale, LI | 40–55 min | Long Island / Hamptons connections |
| Newark Liberty | EWR | Newark, NJ | 45–60 min | Heavy/ULR & international with customs |
Teterboro (TEB) is the most-used private jet airport in the New York region, with multiple premium FBOs (Signature, Atlantic, Jet Aviation, Meridian) and handling for everything from light jets to ultra-long-range aircraft. It’s the default for guests staying in Manhattan.
LaGuardia (LGA) is the closest airport to Flushing Meadows — often a sub-15-minute drive — and sits within the same Queens corridor as the venue. Slots are tightly controlled and demand spikes during the Open, so early booking and coordination are essential.
Westchester County (HPN) offers a calmer, less congested arrival for larger cabins and for guests coming from or staying in Westchester, Greenwich, and lower Connecticut.
Republic (FRG) on Long Island is ideal for guests pairing the Open with a Hamptons stay, and for avoiding New Jersey-side bridge and tunnel traffic entirely.
Newark (EWR) accommodates the heaviest aircraft and international arrivals needing customs and immigration clearance.
| Transfer | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury SUV from LGA | 10–15 min | Fastest ground option to the venue |
| Luxury SUV from TEB | 30–45 min | Traffic-dependent; allow buffer on session days |
| Helicopter (TEB/HPN → Manhattan) | 8–12 min | Downtown/Midtown heliports, then short hop to Queens |
| Helicopter to E 34th St / Wall St heliport | 8–15 min | Fastest way to Manhattan hotels during peak traffic |
During tournament sessions, roads around Flushing Meadows and the Grand Central Parkway congest heavily. A helicopter transfer into a Manhattan heliport, or a pre-positioned SUV timed to your session, keeps the final leg painless.
Pricing depends on departure city, aircraft type, and how close to the finals you’re flying — demand and pricing climb sharply through the second week. All quotes include VIP terminal handling and transfer coordination.
| Aircraft Type | Typical Origin | Estimated One-Way |
|---|---|---|
| Light jet (Phenom 300, Citation CJ) | Boston, DC, Toronto | from $9,000–$15,000 |
| Midsize jet (Hawker 800, Citation XLS) | Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta | from $16,000–$26,000 |
| Super-midsize / heavy (Challenger 300, G280) | Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles | from $28,000–$48,000 |
| Ultra-long-range (G650, Global 7500) | London, LA, Dubai | from $55,000–$120,000+ |
Northeast short-hops from Boston (BOS/BED) or Washington (IAD/DCA) are especially efficient — often under 90 minutes of flight time — making a same-day round trip to a single session entirely feasible.
The US Open draws private travelers from every major market. Whether you’re flying up from South Florida for a single session or crossing the country for finals weekend, these are the most-flown corridors into New York — each with a dedicated route page covering aircraft options, flight times, and pricing.
