This looks like the next dead cert failure.

This looks like vapourware. It says the New York end of the flights
will be at the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia airport, correctly
noting that it's considerably closer to midtown Manhattan than either
JFK or Newark.

But LaGuardia is a domestic airport. It has no customs or immigration
facilities and its only international flights are from Canada, where
flights are precleared. It seems rather unlikely that the US would set
up a preclearance station at Stansted.

I wondered if LGA's executive jet FBO could be used?

It said the Marine Air Terminal, which is the original airport
building, used by flying boats taking off and landing on the water,
with fabulous art deco details. It's had its ups and downs but was
extensively refurbished about 20 years ago. It's currently used for
the Delta shuttle and for private jets. Finding a place for two biz
jets a week is not the problem, the problem is that there's nobody to
clear incoming passengers through customs and immigration when they
arrive.

I suppose that for two flights a week with a dozen people they could
pay to have some customs staff come up from JFK for an hour or so,
but the whole thing seems dodgy.

Presumably they'll use whatever arrangement is currently used with other
private jets, which already use LGA for long haul flights. I notice their
announcement mentions that customers will "Proceed rapidly through
customs".
