Private Jet Charter from BID
Fly private from Block Island State Airport
Block Island State Airport is the only airfield on this small Rhode Island resort island, 13 miles off the mainland coast and reachable in minutes by air rather than the hour-plus ferry crossing. The state-owned field is attended daily with hours that shift seasonally.
Élan Aviation coordinates aircraft, crew, and ground handling for turboprops and light aircraft suited to BID's 2,502-foot runway, one of the shorter fields we regularly arrange charters into, which limits operations to smaller-cabin equipment.
BID is the fastest way on or off Block Island for summer residents and visitors, with short hops to Newport and the Rhode Island mainland and onward connections to New York, Boston, and the other New England islands.
