- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

New England's busiest business airport in Bedford, 35 minutes from Boston and minutes from the Route 128 tech and biotech belt, Lexington and Concord. Three FBOs and CBP; a night-operations surcharge and community noise pressure discourage late flights. Hangar expansion has been politically contested.
