Linden Air Services

at Linden Airport

From Perry Wilson on 28-Apr-2008

Line personnel courteous, quick & helpful. $25/day for parking my Baron; no landing fee; no ramp fee; no facility fee. Fuel $5.91/gal. which is very, very good for New York area. Taxi from airport to train station is 10 minutes ($6.00), and train to Manhattan Penn Station about 30 minutes. Subways to everywhere in New York City connect at Penn Station.

Nice to see the AWOS is up and running on 124.025. Just Commissioned 03/17/08. Thanks!

I would like to comment on the idea of Right pattern for Rwy 9 that is mentioned in previous comment. Not a good idea! I did a lot of my flight training at LDJ so I consider myself a "local"...NEVER flew a right pattern for 9. Both rwys are left. Check Remarks in the "little green book”..."Rwy 9 enter TFC pattern upwind, entries other rwys standard" (there were 3 rwys at one time, guess that plural hasn't been caught yet). I would definitely stick with that. And that left pattern for 9 puts you over a strip mall.... Great airport, I live right under the 45.... Don’t forget to wave when on your way in..

Arrived from Blairstown, NJ, called up for flight following to some of the most heavily burdened ATC I've ever heard. The place swarms with news helicopters. It's right under the departure end of Newark's runways, so the Class B floors are low (800 ft). Other pilot's comment about locals flying right pattern for RWY 9 seems true enough- someone training in a little Robinson helicopter mentioned it to me on short final. It makes sense, even though it's not in the AFD: right pattern puts you over a refinery or something. Left puts you over houses. FBO is hardly charming, but capable and equipped well enough.

Very nice, professional staff. Easy access, watch for traffic! Charge for landing (can stay up to 2 hours for free), charge for parking (24 hours after the 2 hour landing time), this varies on the aircraft. I landed with a Cessna 140, $10 landing, $10 parking. They will wave the parking fee with a $20 fuel purchase for that type of aircraft. Other aircraft it is much more the attendant said. $7 cab ride to the Linden train station. Check for the train schedule!

My wife and I flew in on Saturday, April 21, and left on Sunday, April 22, 2007. I had called ahead of time and they were very helpful with local information. The staff on duty were also very helpful while we were there - provided additional information on local conditions, ATC procedures, etc. They waived the landing fee with purchase of 20 gallons of avgas. The airport is in very good condition - overall it was a very good experience, and we would definitely return. LDJ was very conveniently located to our destination in New Jersey, and it was also easy to get into Manhattan from there as well.

First time visitor. Nothing but the basics, but staff were mostly friendly. The taxi they called for us was slow and grossly overpriced, I would instead recommend you call 'Station Cab' at 732-388-2222. Similarly to comments from others, we were called over Unicom by an FBO lineman for performing a run-up on the taxiway (come on, there wasn't even any traffic!)
 

From Winn Brown on 02-Jan-2007

Arriving 11/09/06, we had a very good experience. Staff was especially nice when we departed on 11/13. We would happily return..
 

From Regis De Ramel on 11-Dec-2006

Location to NYC is good. Only 45 minutes from Manhattan. Line service ok, but "hidden" FBO Manager a real liability. Screamed over UNICOM because I parked plane on his "ACTIVE" taxiway. Noticed the same manager has done the same to others for parking on his "active" taxiway. I called him afterwards on a phone line and he proceeds to swear and yell at me. This person should find a new hobby.
 

From Ryan Turner on 18-Aug-2006

Flew in Aug 12-13. Mark was very attentive in getting my passengers and myself from the plane to the terminal. Landing fee of $10 was waived with fuel. Not sure if I paid an overnight fee. Important Note. Even though the AFD states left traffic for runway 09, everyone there seems to make right traffic for 09.
 

From John Kirksey on 15-Aug-2006

Flew in and out twice last weekend - Friday and Sunday. Service was great both times. Friday evening I arrived later than expected and I caught the attendant after he had shut down for the night, but he still fueled my plane (had to charge my card the next morning). When I returned Sunday I arrived a bit earlier and was met at the fuel farm and transportation (golf cart) was given to the terminal for my passengers and myself. Landing fee waived with fuel. My first experience in NY airspace, and I thought NY Approach was very accommodating getting in, and though Newark was a little slow getting the IFR clearance to get out it was primarily due to landing direction conflicting with my departure. All in all a good experience both times. Planning on flying some folks up for the US Open and though one suggested TEB I think we'll fly into LDJ instead!
 

From Gilbert Pierce on 08-Jul-2006

Arrived at Linden on July 29, mid morning. Before I cleared the runway Unicom called and asked if I need services and directed me to transient parking. They were there immediately with a golf cart to get my baggage. By the time I had tied down, unloaded and signed in there was taxi there. Very customer oriented. Great stop if NYC is your destination. $5.00 cab to NJ Transit train and $6.00 train ride to Penn Station.
 

From Rori Stumpf on 30-Apr-2006

Stopped by Linden for an overnight. No problems. The FBO desk got me out of there in no time and topping off was quick and easy.
 

From Philip Greenspun on 15-Dec-2005

For helicopters, even a 1370 lb. gross weight Robinson R22, the landing fee is $25. This is waived with a minimum purchase of 60 gallons of fuel, exactly twice as much as a Robinson R22 can hold.
 

From Jean-Francois Reat on 11-Oct-2005

In 9/30, out 10/4/05 C182. This is pretty much a self-service airport. FS fuel means taxi to the pump for the attendant to fill your tanks. No help was offered in bag transport to/from plane or with tiedown. Tiedown ropes are rotten. The desk was intermittently attended. I had to call a cab myself with a number given by a bystander (Jones Cab, 523-9100). You'd think they could at least post numbers of cab or limo services at the FBO desk. However, what rankled me was the hidden airport manager on the radio chewing out lineman Alan, the sole visible working FBO employee, for allowing a transient (me) drive their golf cart out to my plane to load bags. "Our insurance doesn't cover that." Maybe it would allow a hand cart? Positives: LDJ is a 15-minute, $30-35 cab ride to Staten Island (4 people). 100LL is a buck cheaper than TEB. Parking $7/day (not waived), landing fee $7 (waived with fuel). Airport is not busy on weekdays; minimal delay on IFR departure.
