ILG does not enforce a formal noise curfew, but voluntary quiet hours apply between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Operators are encouraged to utilize Stage 3 or newer aircraft during late-night hours to ensure a tranquil environment for the surrounding community.

King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12, and Beechcraft King Air 250 are ideal for short hops to Washington D.C., Atlantic City, and regional leisure escapes. They’re perfect for accessing airports with shorter runways or limited ground facilities.
Very Light Jets, like the Eclipse 550 and Phenom 100, offer efficient, flexible travel for 2-4 passengers on routes throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Light jets such as the Citation CJ3+, Learjet 75, and Phenom 300 are the go-to for quick trips to New York, Boston, and Charlotte, comfortably seating 6-8 passengers with speed and style.
Midsize offerings like the Hawker 800XP, Citation XLS+, and Learjet 60XR provide stand-up cabins and extended range for direct flights to Chicago, Miami, and Dallas. Seats up to 9 passengers.
Super-midsize jets, including the Challenger 350, Citation Sovereign, and Gulfstream G280, deliver coast-to-coast capability and elevated comfort for flights to Los Angeles, Denver, or Las Vegas.
Heavy jets, such as the Gulfstream G550, Challenger 650, and Falcon 2000, are designed for long-haul domestic and international missions from ILG. These jets seat 10-16 passengers in luxurious, fully equipped cabins.

Although ILG’s runway supports most business jets, certain ultra-long-range flights may require departure from larger hubs like PHL for maximum takeoff weight and nonstop international range. Jettly will always recommend the optimal airport and aircraft for your mission profile.
