With all due respect paid to the stellar location, stunning visuals and countless amenities Ocean Aviation promises, the real draw for potential tenants and members will be in the unique, tangible flight benefits the facility provides. Benefits that, Reiher promises, add not only to the creature comforts clients may expect but have the ability to impact favorably on the fiscal bottom line. e 46 fully customizable hangars are being made available in a variety of sizes to accommodate everything from 'modest' crafts to BBJs, G650s, and going all the way up to sizes built to accept full size jets and complete corporate aero fleets. e forty-acre site will offer runways exceeding the length of those found at nearby La Guardia airport – all the better to allow larger, fully loaded aircraft to take off for long haul travel without the need for interim fueling stops. Privacy is ensured through features including dedicated security details and the availability of on-site, on-demand Department of Immigration and Customs services. Ground safety on several levels is underscored by the presence of the neighboring Air National Guard base while safety in the skies is improved by a facility designed for multiple approaches. As opposed to the other FBO facilities located nearby, Ocean Aviation is removed from the normal terminal control area, meaning flights leaving from this location go from doors closed to wheels up with relatively unparalleled, remarkable speed and efficiency. On site management, maintenance and flight planning services will deliver personalized, reliable convenience while helicopter and seaplane availability means clients can be ferried from their hangar to midtown Manhattan in less than thirty minutes. In all, the meticulous planning and design of Ocean Aviation is an ode to visionary travel; a facility dedicated to the schedule, convenience, and comfort of its clientele. While the cost of such privilege and convenience doesn't come cheaply, the potential for long-term savings is nothing short of astronomical. Two fuel farms offering 164,000 gallons of ATF are available to clients at exclusive facility pricing, providing not only convenience for Ocean Aviation clients, but a cost savings that can far outweigh the initial membership investment; an opportunity with the potential to translate into budget reductions reaching well into the six, and even seven figures over time. With his plans for Ocean Aviation soaring towards the sky and his feet planted firmly on the ground, Reiher is candid and enthusiastic in his affirmation, "Quite frankly, we are certain that our facility will be incomparable to any business or personal aircraft complex in the world".
