– Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) customers will now have an easy mobile-friendly resource to provide them with information and maps on the routes its air carriers serve, along with on-time and flight arrival and departure information, airport dining options, news, and more.“This new Website – www.flymacarthur.com – both showcases and promotes our airport to local residents and amplifies the many attributes of our area so we can attract more visitors to Long Island,” said Town of Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “Using the latest technology, we are able to target helpful messages to our customers based on their location when they go to our new airport website,” she added.
“We continue to work hard to enhance the customer experience at Long Island MacArthur Airport,” said Airport Commissioner Shelley LaRose-Arken. “This new website is aesthetically pleasing and puts important airport resources right at customers’ fingertips. Since the site is optimized for mobile devices, customers can access it from home on their desktops and tablets, or on the fly from their mobile phones,” she added.
FlyMacArthur.com provides excellent usability features for Long Island’s most convenient airport, with user-friendly content that will promote increased levels of engagement with its customers. The Website combines with the airport’s active communication on social media platforms – Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn – to elevate awareness of MacArthur Airport.
“In addition to reaching both Long Island residents and inbound visitors, the website demonstrates to our airlines – Breeze Airways, Frontier Airlines, and Southwest Airlines – that we are here to actively market Long Island MacArthur Airport in a creative way to help increase awareness and use of ISP flights year-round,” LaRose-Arken added.
“ISP is committed to pulling together the Long Island community for the benefit of our businesses and residents. Our new website communicates the pride that our area feels, and also highlights a sense of place for visitors coming to Long Island on flights from our 13 destinations,” Carpenter said.
“Our community is working together more than ever, recognizing the importance of a vibrant economy for all on Long Island,” said Long Island Association President and CEO Matt Cohen. “Long Island MacArthur Airport significantly contributes to that as an economic generator in our community,” he added. “We plan to continue enhancing the site with additional helpful information for our customers, with news updates, and by working with the many enthusiastic local businesses on ways they can be included,” LaRose-Arken said.
In 2024, MacArthur Airport will be reaching out more in the Long Island community with its work on STEM & Aviation Education with the Cradle of Aviation Museum, a Fly Local marketing effort for local businesses, and more. Additionally, air service development and marketing will remain top priorities, including a joint effort with the Town of Islip Economic Development Corporation to reach customers living in the airport’s nonstop cities, encouraging visitors to bring their economic resources to Long Island through its hometown airport.
