| Airport arrival | 15 min before departure | 90-120 min before departure |

Performance Profile
Business jets cover the HTO to YYZ routing at true airspeeds between 400 and 530 knots, depending on aircraft category and cruise altitude. Light jets cruise around 400-460 KTAS; midsize jets at 430-480 KTAS; heavy jets at 470-530 KTAS. The 358-NM distance at these speeds produces flight times of 1h 05m (midsize jet average).
