High-Flying High Rollers: Hard Rock in Atlantic City to Charter Jets from Local Airport

June 7, 2021

Jun. 4—High rollers will soon be able to jet from Northeast Pennsylvania to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City.

The casino on Friday announced the upcoming launch of Hard Rock Air, a 30-seat VIP air charter service that will cater to high-end customers traveling from select markets to the resort.

The service, operated by Ultimate Jet Charters, will begin July 16 with flights from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport and airports in Latrobe as well as Farmingdale and White Plains, New York, Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia, Baltimore and Cincinnati.

"We are confident that Hard Rock Air is going to take our VIP guest experience to new heights and offer a convenient, seamless getaway that is unmatched in the market," said Joe Lupo, president of Hard Rock Atlantic City.

The getaways will include ground transportation between the Atlantic City International Airport and casino, as well as overnight accommodations at the hotel.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport Executive Director Carl Beardsley Jr. said the Hard Rock brand previously had occasional flights from the airport in Pittston Twp.

"They've come in an out before. I think they're looking to expand what they have," Beardsley said. "This company, Hard Rock Air, provides a niche market that interests a certain type of traveler."
