Flight times from the United States
From the New York area (Teterboro or White Plains) the Dominican Republic is roughly 1,370 nautical miles, or approximately 3.5 to 4 hours of flight time on a light or midsize jet. From Miami it is roughly 740–790 nautical miles, approximately two to two and a half hours. Actual times vary with aircraft, winds and routing.
That distance is within nonstop range of most light, midsize and super-midsize jets, so there is no need for a fuel stop. See New York to Casa de Campo and Miami to the Dominican Republic for route detail.
Customs and arrival
International private flights clear customs and immigration on arrival. We coordinate this in advance with ground handling so processing is quick, and we confirm the entry requirements that apply to your passengers before you fly. Read more on international charter.
Why work with us in the Dominican Republic
The Private Coterie was founded by the creator of Casa de Campo's private aviation department, and continues to serve residents, homeowners and visitors travelling to La Romana. That local experience is the difference between an aircraft that lands and a trip that works: the right airport, the right handler and a vehicle waiting on the ramp.
