Background

Air Newport has been reliably operating in the Northeast US since the early 2000’s. Currently Air Newport operates the G36 Beechcraft Bonanza, a single engine aircraft that has always set the standard for comfort and performance. The Bonanza is capable of operating into the smaller more convenient airports in almost any weather condition and our pilots are regularly certified by the FAA to their highest standards. Whether it be a short trip to Block Island or a longer trip to New York City, Bar Harbor, Maine or Washington DC, Air Newport is there to provide you with the convenience of having your own aircraft and the comfort and confidence in knowing that your aircraft is being flown by a highly qualified flight crew.

The G36 model of the Bonanza is the most modern variant of the Bonanza and is powered by the Garmin G1000 integrated cockpit avionics which provides your pilot with the most up to date navigation, weather and traffic information. With first-class technology and comfort and world-class quality, Air Newport’s Bonanza G36 is ready for any flight.
