Francis S Gabreski Airport
Francis S. Gabreski Airport, commonly called Westhampton or FOK, is the workhorse of Hamptons private aviation with the region's longest runway at 9,002 feet. FOK accommodates the largest heavy jets, VIP-configured airliners, and ultra-long-range aircraft that cannot land at East Hampton (HTO). The airport has no curfew, making it the preferred choice for late-night arrivals and departures. Based on the former Suffolk County Air Force Base, Gabreski serves the western Hamptons with easy ground access to Southampton, Quogue, and Remsenburg. Peak season runs June through September. Estimated one-way rates from NYC area to FOK: 20 to 30 minute flight, light jets from $5,000, mid-size jets from $6,500, heavy jets from $9,500.
Transworld Jets Insider Tip
FOK is the go-to airport for heavy jet arrivals to the Hamptons, avoiding HTO's runway and curfew restrictions. For easternmost destinations like Montauk or Amagansett, East Hampton (HTO) remains faster by ground, but FOK is often the better overall choice for flexibility. Ask about helicopter transfers from FOK to Montauk Point for ultra-exclusive estates.
