Burlington & Greensboro, NC to Boston, MA
Private Jet Charter, Burlington to Boston
Boston in ninety minutes, not a twelve hour drive.
There is no realistic drive to Boston from the Triad, and commercial routing still means airline schedules and a connection more often than not. SkySouth flies direct into Hanscom Field, minutes from the Route 128 corridor, on your own timeline.
Why this route works
Boston is not a driving trip from the Triad.
At roughly 750 miles by road, Boston sits close to twelve hours behind the wheel from Burlington or Greensboro, making it one of the least practical East Coast drives in this region. Chartering removes the question entirely.
Driving estimate reflects typical I-95 conditions from the Triad. Private charter time reflects a direct flight between Burlington-Alamance Regional Airport and Laurence G. Hanscom Field. Commercial options exist but still require airline schedules and, in many cases, a connection.
Where you land
Hanscom Field, not Logan's commercial terminals.
SkySouth routes charter flights into New England's largest general aviation airport, built specifically to keep private and corporate traffic clear of Logan's commercial congestion.
An FAA-designated reliever for Logan
Hanscom Field is operated by the Massachusetts Port Authority and formally recognized by the FAA as the general aviation reliever for Boston Logan International, the largest such airport in New England.
Steps from the tech and biotech corridor
Located about 20 miles northwest of Boston near Route 128, Hanscom sits close to the region's technology companies and within easy reach of Cambridge's biotech and research institutions.
Full FBO service, around the clock
Three fixed base operators at Hanscom provide fueling, hangar space, and passenger amenities, giving SkySouth's Citation CJ1 and CJ3 aircraft the same level of service found at major private aviation hubs.
Hanscom Field's role as Boston's general aviation reliever airport is confirmed directly by the Massachusetts Port Authority, which owns and operates the airport along with Boston Logan International.
Boston is home to a dense concentration of universities, teaching hospitals, and biotech firms, along with a major financial services sector anchored by asset managers and insurers headquartered in the city.

Higher earnings growth reported among small and mid sized companies using business aviation, compared to non users, over a five year study period.
A twelve hour drive is a full day lost either way.
A study of small and medium sized companies conducted by NEXA Advisors for the National Business Aviation Association found that firms using business aircraft posted meaningfully higher EBITDA, earnings, and revenue growth than comparable companies that did not, even through a recession.
For a Triad business with regular reason to be in Boston, whether biotech, finance, or research partnerships, that time saved on a route this long adds up quickly. Read the full NEXA Advisors study via NBAA.
