Private charter to & from Pittsfield

Pittsfield is the largest city in Berkshire County and the practical center of the Berkshires, a region of wooded hills, lakes and small towns that has drawn summer residents from New York and Boston for well over a century. The city grew up around General Electric’s transformer and plastics operations, and today its economy relies on healthcare, plastics and defense manufacturing, and a cultural sector that includes the Colonial Theatre and the Berkshire Museum. Lenox, home of Tanglewood, and Stockbridge are a short drive south.

The Berkshires are close to both Boston and New York on a map but awkward to reach in practice, roughly three hours by car from either city, often in heavy weekend traffic. Flying private into Pittsfield Municipal Airport puts Lenox, Williamstown and the region’s inns and second homes within about half an hour. Summer visitors come for Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts at Tanglewood, Jacob’s Pillow dance, the Williamstown Theatre Festival and Shakespeare & Company, while fall foliage and winter skiing keep the region busy most of the year.
