Bypassing Ferries and Traffic: The Northeast’s Premier Summer Escapes
Summer in the Northeast brings a surge in travel demand to coastal destinations. Whether travelers are headed to Memorial Day barbecues in the mountains or seeking quality time with family at a coastal vacation home, navigating congested highways and crowded ferry terminals often detracts from the weekend getaway experience. For PlaneSense® clients, the summer escape begins immediately upon arrival at the airport. Utilizing the exceptional short-field capabilities of the Pilatus PC-12 turboprop and PC-24 jet allows passengers to bypass the worst gridlock.
Seamless Departures from Metro Gateways
The PlaneSense program is strategically positioned to serve the busiest metropolitan areas in the Northeast. Clients routinely commence their summer travel by departing directly from smaller fields or convenient metro hubs. These locations include Teterboro (TEB) and Morristown (MMU) in New Jersey; Westchester (HPN) and East Hampton (JPX) in New York; Bedford (BED), Boston Logan (BOS) and Norwood (OWD) in Massachusetts; and Wings Field (LOM) in Pennsylvania.

Direct Access to Cape Cod and Southern New England
Instead of contending with ferry schedules, the PlaneSense fleet transports passengers directly to their favorite islands. Clients can quickly trade the tarmac for quaint coastal villages, peaceful walks on the beach, fresh lobster rolls and ice cream. The PC-24 jet and PC-12 turboprop frequently visit top regional airports such as Nantucket (ACK), Martha’s Vineyard (MVY), and Hyannis (HYA).

Northern New England
Accessing Northern New England’s top spots for fishing, hiking, and coastal escapes often require hours of driving time. But with the short-field capabilities of the PlaneSense fleet, clients regularly head to Maine’s Bar Harbor airport (BHB) to enjoy Acadia National Park’s famous Carriage Roads or a relaxing afternoon at Jordan Pond House. For those looking for a relaxing getaway in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, travelers can skip the hours-long drive and arrive at the Mount Washington Regional Airport (HIE), Laconia (LCI), or Eastern Slope Regional Airport (IZG) in nearby Fryeburg, Maine.

The Pilatus Advantage: Short Runways and Zero Compromises
The dominance of the PlaneSense fleet in the Northeast relies on unrivaled aircraft performance and precision Swiss engineering. While the Pilatus PC-24 jet effortlessly accesses coastal gateways that restrict other mid-size jets, the Pilatus PC-12 turboprop remains the dominant aircraft for navigating New England’s most remote summer destinations. The legendary short runway operations of the PC-12 allow it to land safely on airstrips that are simply inaccessible to jet traffic. This flexibility enables clients to touch down directly on Islesboro in Maine (57B), arrive seamlessly in Newport, Rhode Island (UUU) or step onto the tarmac at Fishers Island in New York (0B8). Both aircraft feature uniquely large cargo doors capable of effortlessly accommodating golf clubs, surfboards and oversized luggage. Whether arriving in the highly capable PC-24 or the legendary PC-12, PlaneSense clients experience an uncompromising start to their summer vacation.
