US Open 2026 by Private Jet, in New York

The 2026 US Open: dates and key facts

The event runs from 23 August to 13 September 2026. It opens with Fan Week and qualifying (23 to 29 August), the main draw, the 146th edition, starting on 30 August; the women's final is scheduled for 12 September and the men's final for 13 September. Matches are played on hard courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, host of the tournament since 1978, on a site of about 46.5 acres. Its centre court, Arthur Ashe Stadium, is the largest tennis stadium in the world with around 23,771 seats; it is covered by a retractable roof completed in 2016. In 2025, the tournament set an attendance record with 1,144,562 spectators across the whole event.

Airports and access to Flushing Meadows

The New York area is served by several airports suited to business aviation. The main one, Teterboro (TEB/KTEB), in New Jersey, is effectively reserved for business aviation: a weight limit of 100,000 lb (45,000 kg) excludes commercial flights. It is open 24/7, with a voluntary curfew from 11 pm to 6 am. LaGuardia (LGA) is the closest airport to the site, and Westchester (HPN) completes the picture to the north.

Road transfer times are moderate off-peak (in the order of 30 to 45 minutes from Teterboro, about fifteen minutes from LaGuardia), but as New York is dense they lengthen noticeably during the tournament fortnight: it is best to plan ahead. We handle the flights, the slots and the ground handling. See the role of the private terminal (FBO).

Which private jet to cross the Atlantic?

From Europe, New York is reached non-stop by ultra-long-range jet: allow in the order of 7 h 30 to 8 h 30 westbound to New York (the return to Europe is shorter, with favourable winds), to be confirmed depending on the aircraft and winds. Ultra-long-range aircraft (Gulfstream G650ER, Bombardier Global 7500, Falcon 8X) cross the Atlantic in one go; a lighter, super-midsize aircraft requires a technical stop, typically in Ireland (Shannon), Iceland (Keflavik) or Gander, Canada.
