Sometimes your best business asset is your location. And sometimes the advantages of that location might not be so obvious to customers looking at a map. That’s why Mike Dolphin, co-owner of New York-area FBO Avitat White Plains (Booth No. 635), has been exhibiting here at EBACE since the show first opened in 2001.
Dolphin has a message for European business jet operators who have been using close-in Teterboro to get to the center of New York City. “Teterboro looks great when you see how close to Manhattan it is, and it is a terrific facility. But what a lot of European operators don’t realize is that White Plains, even though it’s farther out, can actually save you 30 minutes–and a lot of frustration–on your journey to midtown,” he told EBACE Convention News. “That’s because heavy air traffic into the New York City beehive can add extra miles and stressful minutes to your flight. And time spent loitering aloft is far costlier than time spent on surface travel.”
