Tweed New Haven Airport<\/strong> (HVN, KHVN) is located in New Haven<\/strong> (East Haven), CT. This is a towered, public airport, located 3 miles SE of downtown New Haven and owned by the City of New Haven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is one grooved asphalt runway (2\/20)<\/strong> measuring 5,600ft. x 150ft. Plans are in the works to expand the runway, the East Terminal, and parking as of May 2025; however, no definite date has been set for the expansion. The runway is rated in excellent condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

FBO & Services<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Robinson Aviation<\/a><\/strong> provides fuel during FBO business hours, or you can call 203-467-9555 for after-hours arrangements. Both AvGas and Jet-A are available, along with major airframe and powerplant services. They offer tie-downs and hangers and have a pilot lounge, restrooms, and pilot supplies. They can provide catering, oxygen, flight instruction, and aircraft rentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Transporatiation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FBO services through Robinson Aviation<\/strong> include a courtesy car and car rentals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, there are taxi or limo services with M7 Ride<\/a><\/strong> or A&S Taxi<\/a><\/strong>. Lyft<\/strong> is available with the app, but Uber isn’t licensed at this airport. If you plan on longer-distance ground travel, this airport is close to Union Station<\/strong>, where you can choose Amtrak or Greyhound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will tell you this: if you’re not a normal East Coast traveler, you need to download the Lyft app. It is usually cheaper here, and Uber is not available in many places along the coast. No idea why, but I have learned the hard way it’s the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where To Stay Near Tweed New Haven Airport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the home of Yale University<\/strong>, get ready to drop some money for a place to stay here. The least expensive place I could find is the Quality<\/a> <\/a>Inn<\/a><\/strong>, which is 3.1 miles from the airport. The reviews aren’t great, but the price makes it fill up fast at certain times of the year. If you just need a bed and a shower, it looks fine. Also, on the less expensive side is the La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up are the New Haven Hotel<\/a><\/strong> and the Cambria Hotel<\/a><\/strong>, both of which have better ratings. They are quite a bit more expensive but are still within the 5-mile range of the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If money isn’t the main consideration, The Graduate by Hilton<\/a><\/strong> or Courtyard New Haven at Yale<\/a><\/strong> have good ratings, and Hotel Marcel New Haven<\/a><\/strong> is rated excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s easy to compare prices and amenities with Expedia.com<\/a> <\/strong>or Hotels.com<\/a><\/strong>. VRBO.com<\/a><\/strong> is a good place to look for whole-house stays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
