Arriving at Republic Airport: How Private Aviation Pickups Work

Reserve online and select Republic Airport. Enter your FBO’s street address as the pickup, and add the FBO name and tail number in the reservation notes.

RideSoHo monitors the aircraft from booking to landing, so an early or late arrival moves the pickup with it.

Your chauffeur’s details arrive 24 hours before pickup, sent to the passenger and to anyone booking on their behalf.

Your chauffeur waits at the FBO when the door opens, and loads your luggage.

Meeting you at the aircraft

Where the FBO permits it, your chauffeur can meet you airside beside the aircraft. Otherwise the car waits in front of the FBO, and your chauffeur follows each FBO’s rules on the day.

Departing from Republic: Drop-Off and Timing

Your chauffeur collects you in Manhattan, on Long Island or in the Hamptons and brings you to the FBO in time for wheels up. From Midtown, leave about an hour and a half before departure. On summer Fridays and Sundays, the Long Island Expressway and Sunrise Highway are at their busiest, so allow more time in both directions.
