Hudson Valley Regional Airport
Hudson Valley Regional Airport provides corporate and general aviation transportation services.
FlightLevel site in Massachusetts, but much of the tra c there originates in New York City. Opening a Cirrus Service Center at Hudson Valley Regional would save those metropolitan-area pilots time and provide the resources to keep their planes ying smoothly.
Together, Hudson Valley Regional Airport’s new maintenance facility, storage hangar, and Cirrus Service Center create an accessible and cost- e ective alternative for jet customers in the New York City metro area.
“The big corporate aviation airports surrounding New York City—Teter- boro, Westchester, Essex County—are completely strapped for hangars and there’s very little developmental land,” says Eichlay. “In Dutchess, the airport has more than 12 acres of land availa- ble for development. There is su cient runway and instrument approach infra- structure. We can see attracting these corporate ight appointments that are being squeezed out, creating jobs and having an economic impact at a county level as well as at our business.”
THE BEST CHOICE FOR HELICOPTERS
When it comes to helicopters, Hudson Valley Regional Airport provides a perfect alternative to the congestion at other metropolitan-area airports. Associated Aircraft Group (AAG) can get passengers where they need to be in minutes—to Manhattan in less than 25 minutes.
And for those coming up from New York City, taking one of AAG’s Sikorsky S-76 helicopters to Hudson Valley Regional couldn’t be easier.
“Being able to bring someone into Dutchess County and land at the airport, and have them at their meeting in 10 minutes is a huge advantage, rather than taking the train or having to drive,” says Scott Ashton, president and general manager at AAG.
AAG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, operates the Northeast’s largest eet of Sikorsky S-76 helicopters out of Hudson Valley Regional. More Fortune 100 companies y Sikorsky S-76
