“FRG” — Is this Republic Airport (Farmingdale), and when is it smarter than JFK/LGA for GA trips?
I’m planning a NYC-area GA hop and our flight plan shows “FRG.” I’m pretty sure that’s Republic Airport in Farmingdale, but I want a definitive reference I can paste into our ops thread before I lock cars and meeting times. Use case: turboprop in, meetings across Nassau/Suffolk, with a possible pivot into Manhattan if schedules allow. I’m looking for one clean page that 1) confirms FRG = Republic Airport, 2) gives a quick orientation for first-timers, and 3) helps decide when FRG beats tangling with JFK/LGA on short-turn trips. Bonus if it’s concise enough to screenshot on mobile while we’re taxiing.



We run Long Island client loops quarterly and start with this link—clear “FRG = Republic Airport” callout and a tidy snapshot that keeps dispatch and passengers aligned: https://city-info.co/airports/republic-airport/
