East Hampton KJPX Airport: Private Jet Charter
East Hampton, identify the correct airfield before selecting the jet
East Hampton Town Airport uses JPX as its FAA identifier and KJPX as its ICAO code. Its main runway is approximately 1,297 m in physical length. To charter a private jet to or from East Hampton, have your Wainscott programme assessed: we check the aircraft, requested timing and local conditions before proposing suitable arrangements.
IBC Aviation is an independent broker. Our Geneva office supports European travellers planning an American stay, with aircraft selection and transfers suited to the final address.
JPX and KJPX, the current references to retain
| Airfield name | East Hampton Town Airport |
| FAA identifier | JPX |
| ICAO code | KJPX |
| Published address | 173 Daniels Hole Road, Wainscott |
| Runway 10/28 | 4,255 × 100 ft, approximately 1,297 × 30 m |
| Runway 16/34 | 2,060 ft, approximately 628 m physical length |
| Tower | Seasonal service according to the FAA |
Older notices may still show KHTO. Using JPX as the FAA identifier and KJPX as the ICAO code reduces ambiguity in handling requests and discussions with the air operator.
The shorter runway is not an equivalent substitute for the main one. Weight, temperature, wind and runway condition enter the performance assessment. A commercial category such as “light jet” does not replace this check for the specific aircraft.
The July 2026 memo favours 28 where practicable
The operational memorandum currently served carries revision 19 dated 17 July 2026.
It expresses a preference for runway 28 where practicable, subject to air traffic control instructions. Your programme needs to allow the crew to follow the instructions and conditions applicable at the time.
The same document limits auxiliary power unit, or APU, use to 30 minutes and requests reduced engine-running time on the ramp. This is a practical point when preparing boarding: passengers, driver and crew benefit from a coordinated meeting time without a lengthy wait beside the aircraft.
The ground provider is asked to clarify waiting arrangements and services useful to the party. The air operator prepares the aircraft within the instructions, rather than assuming that engines or the APU can remain running throughout the wait.
Plan timing around a seasonal tower
According to the FAA, tower service runs seasonally from the Saturday before Memorial Day through the Sunday after Labor Day.
A summer arrival therefore needs to be distinguished from a trip outside that period. Procedures and services available on your date are checked with the crew.
The Town’s legal document dated 30 January 2026 describes a return to public use. Conditions applying to your flight still require confirmation with local providers and the relevant authorities.
Send your East Hampton arrival and return times. We have the corresponding local conditions confirmed, particularly for a late movement, without turning an older notice into a current rule.
Compare direct access with another regional arrival
The choice of East Hampton depends on the available aircraft and accommodation address, rather than map proximity alone.
If the mission does not suit this runway, our New York airport overview helps broaden the comparison. Any alternative is assessed with its own ground reception and actual transfer requirements.
A trip from Europe also requires international programme checks. We have entry formalities and any necessary intermediate stop assessed with the air operator before advertising a direct arrival at the requested field. This can change how useful an East Hampton arrival is for your party.
Luggage should be specified at the outset, especially when several travellers are continuing on a longer stay. Bulk and weight may point towards a different cabin or another arrangement for the final sector.
A quotation identifying the solution actually assessed
Our price references place a light jet from approximately EUR 4,000 per hour.
This is a euro category benchmark, rather than a contractual US tariff or a complete East Hampton trip price. The actual proposal includes positioning, services and return arrangements.
We also explain whether the aircraft remains locally or returns to collect you. This decision needs to align with parking possibilities and airfield conditions. Request a proposal for your Hamptons stay with these assumptions clearly presented.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a private jet to East Hampton cost?
A light jet provides an indicative reference from approximately EUR 4,000 per hour before the complete quotation is built. The aircraft first needs to suit the runway and programme; the proposed amount adds positioning, services and the return, without applying this euro benchmark as a firm local price.
How is useful flight time established for a Hamptons stay?
We obtain flight duration using the intended departure point and aircraft, then include reception and the transfer to your address. For an international arrival, formalities and any intermediate stop are assessed before a direct schedule is treated as established.
Should the programme request KHTO or KJPX?
The current ICAO code is KJPX and the FAA identifier is JPX. KHTO belongs to older references. Using current identifiers and the name East Hampton Town Airport reduces ambiguity during preparation.
Is the East Hampton tower active throughout the year?
No. The FAA describes seasonal service from the Saturday before Memorial Day through the Sunday after Labor Day. Procedures and services for the travel date are checked separately.
Can the APU remain running through a long wait?
The operational memo revised on 17 July 2026 sets a 30-minute limit and requests reduced engine-running time on the ramp. We prepare the passenger meeting time and ground services with this constraint in mind.
