Removes 'Getting To The Airport' As An Excuse To Not Go Skydiving

So imagine it's a beautiful day to go jump out of an airplane in the greater New York City area, but you just don't want to fight the traffic from the city to Pittstown, NJ, where Skydive Jersey is located.

Well, the operator has taken away that objection. Beginning April 19th, for $30, they are providing shuttle service from the city to the airport.

In a news release, Skydive Jersey says its shuttle will depart from the Hoboken station at 10 am on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Passengers will need to reserve shuttle transportation in advance by phone through Skydive Jersey. Arrive at the Hoboken PATH station no later than 9:30 am to guarantee a timely departure. Shuttle service is intended as a convenience for customers, and at $30 round trip, it is slightly less expensive than public transportation. The shuttle will take visitors directly to the facility, eliminating extra time and confusion. Each tandem skydiving student can bring up to two spectators, provided they each pay the shuttle fee. Shuttle fees will be included in the total balance paid at the facility upon arrival.

“The idea for the shuttle service was born of our quest to improve the customer experience here at Skydive Jersey," said Chuck Owen, CEO of Skydive Jersey. "Our team recognized the inherent transportation barriers that NYC tourists and residents experience when trying to make their first skydive. We took the necessary steps to remove those barriers and are now the first skydiving facility in the region to offer shuttle service for skydivers from the NYC area.”

The company will even offer advice by telephone to those who may not be comfortable using the city's public transportation system from New York to Hoboken.
