Private Jet St John to Jersey City

Antigua, served by VC Bird International Airport near the town of St John’s, sits approximately 1,434 nautical miles from Jersey City, a sector of just under three hours that suits a mid-size jet such as the Citation Latitude well, with cruise altitudes near 43,000 feet keeping the flight above most of the convective activity that can build over the eastern Caribbean, particularly during the summer hurricane season. VC Bird International Airport handles the departure, a well-developed gateway reflecting Antigua’s long-established position as one of the Caribbean’s premier sailing and resort destinations. Arrival into Newark Liberty International Airport brings passengers within easy reach of Jersey City, sparing them the connections through San Juan or Miami that commercial travel to Antigua typically requires. Antigua’s three hundred and sixty-five beaches, one for every day of the year as the tourist board is fond of noting, and its status as the hub of Caribbean sailing culminating each April in Antigua Sailing Week, draw a steady flow of leisure travellers throughout the winter and spring seasons. Villa owners, yacht charter guests and a growing number of second-home buyers investing in the island’s expanding luxury property market make up the bulk of demand, with volumes rising sharply around the sailing calendar and the winter holiday period. Given the limited and often indirect scheduled service connecting the two cities, private charter offers travellers a direct and considerably faster alternative, particularly valuable for those working around a yacht’s own departure schedule or a tightly booked charter week where every hour of delay carries a real cost.
