Westchester County Airport (HPN) is a public airport owned and operated by Westchester County, located in White Plains, New York. It serves as a popular alternative to the major New York City airports—JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark—offering shorter security lines and easier access for travelers in the northern suburbs.
The airport handles both commercial passenger service and significant general aviation traffic, making it one of the busiest general aviation airports in the northeastern United States. Its proximity to corporate headquarters and affluent suburban communities in Westchester and Fairfield counties drives strong business travel demand.
