After resolving security concerns in the Washington region, Tailwind Air<\/strong> started its inaugural seaplane service from New York to the DC region on Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service was set to launch on September 13th, but a new Washington, DC base had to be sought due to regulators’ reservations about using Maryland’s College Park Airport. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service between a private terminal at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)<\/strong> and the New York Skyport (NYS) on the East River of Manhattan is now operational. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With customers arriving as little as ten minutes before to takeoff, Tailwind will use an eight-passenger Cessna Caravan C208 out of the Jet Aviation private facility at Dulles International Airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passengers won’t have to go through a TSA inspection<\/strong> before boarding the 90-minute flight because they won’t be accessing the main airport terminal. <\/p>

As the Cessna drops into the picturesque approach to the East River seaplane base landing site, they will have a window seat view of the action. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

From Manhattan, Tailwind departs for nine different locations, including Boston Harbor – Fan Pier Marina (BNH), East Hampton, Sag Harbor, Shelter Island, Montauk, Provincetown, Plymouth, and, as of recently, Washington DC.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the beginning, Tailwind will operate eight weekly flights<\/strong> between New York and Washington. Monday through Friday at 08:35 and Monday, Thursday, and Friday at 16:40 are the departure times from Manhattan. Monday through Friday at 06:55 and 15:00 are the departure times from Dulles. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Dulles has benefits <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the Federal Aviation Administration<\/strong> (FAA) and the Transportation Security Administration, using College Park was put on hold as a result of their worries. Tailwind encountered difficulties entering the restricted commuter airspace near Washington, DC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With one-way tickets starting at $395, Tailwind is targeting business travellers <\/strong>who want to escape the inconveniences of a typical aircraft commute from a large airport while still getting to Manhattan or Washington faster than by train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tailwind runs a fleet of more than 20 jet and turboprop aircraft headquartered at Westchester Airport (HPN) in New York and Bridgeport Airport (BDR)<\/strong> in Connecticut, in addition to its three Cessna Caravans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a part 135 commuter air carrier with FAA and transportation licencing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any seaplane passengers who have flown with Tailwinds would be welcome to share their insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
