This looks like the next dead cert failure. This looks like vapourware. It says the New York end of the flights will be at the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia airport, correctly noting that it's considerably closer to midtown Manhattan than either JFK or Newark. But LaGuardia is a domestic airport. It has no customs or immigration facilities and its only international flights are from Canada, where flights are precleared. It seems rather unlikely that the US would set up a preclearance station at Stansted. I wondered if LGA's executive jet FBO could be used? http://www.talonairjets.com/laguardi...te-jet-charter It said the Marine Air Terminal, which is the original airport building, used by flying boats taking off and landing on the water, with fabulous art deco details. It's had its ups and downs but was extensively refurbished about 20 years ago. It's currently used for the Delta shuttle and for private jets. Finding a place for two biz jets a week is not the problem, the problem is that there's nobody to clear incoming passengers through customs and immigration when they arrive. I suppose that for two flights a week with a dozen people they could pay to have some customs staff come up from JFK for an hour or so, but the whole thing seems dodgy. R's, John |
