    Aircraft Detailing at Laurence G. Hanscom Field

    Also known as Hanscom Field

    Laurence G. Hanscom Field, about 20 miles northwest of Boston in Bedford, is owned by the Massachusetts Port Authority and also hosts Air Force base operations. Jet Aviation, Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation each run an FBO here, and 2025 FAA data put the field 19th in the nation for business-jet movements.

    Field elevation 133 ft · Longest runway 7,011 ft

    That ranking reflects 35,922 business-jet movements in 2025, up 3 percent, from FAA TFMSC data analysed by AvAdvisors for NATA. Runway 11/29 is 7,011 ft and Runway 5/23 is 5,107 ft, and FAA data effective 29 October 2026 lists the tower from 0700 to 2300, with a surcharge on each landing and departure between 2300 and 0700.

    AirNav's service lists for Jet Aviation and Signature both include aircraft cleaning, de-icing, heated hangars and customs on the premises. Signature's own page gives hours of 0600 to 2300 and 600,000 to 700,000 sq ft of ramp, while Atlantic lists Type I and IV de-icing, heated hangar space and on-field customs clearance, open 0600 to 2200 with on-call service arranged ahead.

    Two FAA remarks matter for work done on the ramp: APU and GPU operation is limited to 30 minutes, and pilots are told to watch for small aircraft parked on the ramps. Hanscom is designated a U.S. Customs user fee airport in the same record, and practice approaches and touch-and-goes are barred for aircraft of 12,500 lbs and over.
