COMMON QUESTIONS
How many guests can you host?
Depending on the structure and length of your desired event, but we can comfortably host groups of up to 120 participants within our facility.
We can also offer “The Studio” amenity space that is on our same floor, that can host up to 400 participants. Our team would work with you to understand your needs and requirements and suggest the best layout and design of the event.
How much does a private event cost?
Depending on your type of activity and length, our team will provide all the details for the cost of the experience – which can vary by group size, event length, and catering and bar selections. Our team will be able to provide all the pricing on the meeting and will provide a quote.
Do guests need any flying experience?
None at all. Every mission starts with a briefing from our instuctor-pilots hosts, who explain the controls, set the objective and guide each crew. The simulators have high-fidelity cockpits and 200-degree visuals but don’t move, so the experience is intense without being physically demanding. First-timers and aviation enthusiasts alike get a lot out of it.
What does a typical event look like?
Guests arrive, check in and get suited up. They receive a mission briefing from an instructor pilot, then fly as a team, working together under pressure to complete the objective. Depending on your type of activity, the group follows a series of briefings-flight-debrief to engage and compete for the top aces.
Structured according to your needs, the team can relax over food and drinks before, after or in between sessions of the experience. Most events run two hours or more, depending on group size and event agenda.
Is food and drink available?
Yes. We offer catering and bar packages through our trusted vendors, from passed bites to full dinners and from beer and wine to a full open bar. Your coordinator helps you choose, handles the vendors and can accommodate dietary needs.
Can we customize the event?
Yes. We can add branded welcome messaging, awards for the top-performing crew, speeches or presentations, and a schedule built around your goals, whether that’s client entertainment, a team celebration or a company kickoff.
Where are you located?
The Squadron is at 7 World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, close to major subway lines and the PATH, and easy to reach from anywhere in the city.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking several weeks ahead of planned event. End-of-year and holiday dates fill fastest, so book those as early as possible. Our team can hold dates for you once you approve a quote, and there is still room for changes in content and headcount.
