Helicopter Transfer New York to Greenwich

The short flight from New York to Greenwich covers only around 26 nautical miles up the shore of Long Island Sound, a distance ideally suited to travel by helicopter. A refined machine such as the Airbus H130 is well matched to the route, carrying passengers over the water and the wooded Connecticut coastline with the Manhattan skyline receding behind them. The flight takes only minutes, in place of a road journey that, through the notorious congestion of the city’s northern approaches, can stretch to well over an hour even outside the rush. Departures may be arranged from Teterboro Airport, the Downtown Manhattan Heliport or Westchester County Airport, giving travellers a choice of the most convenient point from which to begin the journey, whether coming from Wall Street or from the suburbs. Greenwich, the destination, is among the most affluent towns in the United States, a leafy enclave of grand homes on the Connecticut coast that has long been home to financiers and business leaders. Its harbourside setting, exclusive clubs and easy reach of the city have made it a favoured base for those who divide their time between Manhattan and the shore. This route suits business leaders commuting between the financial district and their homes, families moving between city and suburb, and anyone for whom the flexibility of setting their own schedule is worth more than the fare. Arriving by helicopter turns a frustrating drive into a brief and scenic flight, returning precious hours to the traveller’s day. For those splitting the week between the trading floor and the coast, few transfers offer so complete a saving of time, and the short flight quickly becomes an indispensable part of the routine.
