'''Westchester County Airport''' {{airport codes|HPN|KHPN|HPN}} is a county-owned airport in [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester County]], [[New York (state)|New York]], United States,<ref name="FAA" /> {{Convert|3|nmi|mi km|spell=in}} northeast of downtown [[White Plains, New York|White Plains]],<ref name="FAA" /> with territory in the [[Town (New York)|towns]] of [[North Castle, New York|North Castle]] and [[Harrison, New York]], and the [[Village (New York)|village]] of [[Rye Brook, New York]]. It is sometimes referred to as the '''White Plains Airport''' and is so identified by the [[Official Airline Guide]] (OAG).<ref name="departed">{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com| date=1985-02-15|title=Linking the airlines of yesterday with the aviation enthusiasts of today |access-date=2023-10-28}}</ref>

The airport primarily serves [[Westchester County, New York]], and [[Fairfield County, Connecticut]]; the New York–[[Connecticut]] state border runs along its eastern perimeter. Located approximately {{Convert|33|mi}} north of [[Midtown Manhattan]], it is also considered a satellite or [[Relief airport|reliever airport]] for the [[New York metropolitan area]].

The [[National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems]] for 2011–2015 [[FAA airport categories|categorized]] HPN as a ''primary commercial service'' airport.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.faa.gov/airports/planning_capacity/npias/reports/media/2011/npias_2011_appA.pdf |title=2011–2015 NPIAS Report, Appendix A |format=PDF, 2.03 MB |work=National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems |publisher=Federal Aviation Administration |date=October 4, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120927084535/http://www.faa.gov/airports/planning_capacity/npias/reports/media/2011/npias_2011_appA.pdf |archive-date=September 27, 2012 }}</ref> Per [[Federal Aviation Administration]] records, the airport had 872,023 passenger enplanements in [[calendar year]] 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/airports/planning_capacity/passenger_allcargo_stats/passenger/cy19-all-enplanements.pdf|title=Enplanements for CY 2019|format=PDF, 1.0 MB|work=Calendar Year 2019 Final Revenue Enplanements at All Airports|publisher=Federal Aviation Administration|date=September 25, 2020}}</ref>

==History==
Westchester County Airport was built during [[World War II]] in 1942 as a home to an [[Air National Guard]] unit to protect New York City and Rye Lake, part of the [[New York City water supply system|city's water supply system]]. In May 1983, with the growth of suburban Westchester, the Guard unit abandoned Westchester Air National Guard Base and moved to [[Stewart International Airport]], in [[Orange County, New York|Orange County]].{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole sentence|date=May 2023}}

The first scheduled airline flights were by [[American Airlines]] in late 1949 with a weekday morning flight from New York [[LaGuardia Airport]] to HPN continuing to [[Syracuse Hancock International Airport]] and beyond and returning in the evening. [[Mohawk Airlines]] replaced American in 1955; Mohawk and successor [[Allegheny Airlines]] served HPN until 1979. The first scheduled jet flight was a Mohawk [[BAC One-Eleven]] in 1965. Before the federal [[Airline Deregulation Act]] in 1978, the airport was served in 1976 by Allegheny Airlines BAC One-Elevens and by several commuter air carriers including Air Speed, [[Command Airways]] and [[Commuter Airlines]].<ref>February 1, 1976, Official Airline Guide</ref> [[Air Florida]] arrived in 1980 and [[United Airlines]] during the mid-1980s. [[American Airlines]] also resumed mainline service. Regional carrier [[Independence Air]] ceased operations at HPN on January 5, 2006.<ref name="ia">{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna10729047|title=Last Run for Independence Air|access-date=February 20, 2008|publisher=NBC News|date=January 5, 2006}}</ref>

Major airlines that previously served the airport include [[American Airlines]], [[Northwest Airlines]], [[Republic Airlines (1979-1986)]], [[United Airlines]] and [[USAir]] (now part of [[American Airlines]]). New start up carriers [[Air Florida]], [[AirTran Airways]], [[Carnival Air Lines]], [[Midway Airlines (1993–2003)|Midway Airlines]] and [[New York Air]] also served the airport. [[AirTran Airways]] began service at the airport in 2006 with flights to [[Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport|Atlanta]], [[Orlando International Airport|Orlando]] and [[West Palm Beach International Airport|West Palm Beach]]. These flights ended on August 11, 2012.  Smaller regional and commuter air carriers that previously operated flights included Air North, [[Altair Airlines]], [[Business Express Airlines]], [[Boston-Maine Airways]] (operating as [[Pan Am Clipper Connection]]), [[Brockway Air]], [[Command Airways]], [[Commuter Airlines]], [[Continental Express]] (now [[United Express]]), [[Empire Airlines]], [[Independence Air]], [[Island Airlines|Island Air]], [[Mall Airways]] and [[USAir Express]].<ref name="departed"/><ref name="ReferenceA">OAG Flight Guide Worldwide, Feb. 2007</ref> These airlines operated the following jets to the airport:<ref name="departed" /><ref name="ReferenceA" /><ref>Official Airline Guide (OAG), February 1, 1976</ref>

In June 2005, a drunken teenager and two of his friends stole a [[Cessna 172]] from nearby [[Danbury Municipal Airport]] around 1 a.m. and landed on a taxiway at Westchester County Airport around 4 a.m. The aircraft was low on fuel and allegedly flying erratically. HPN airport was closed at the time and no runway lights were illuminated. Police arrived on the scene and reported beer bottles falling out of the aircraft as they arrested the teens, all of whom were charged with various felonies relating to the unauthorized use of the aircraft, theft, and alcohol impairment.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/23/nyregion/police-say-20yearold-stole-a-plane-and-flew-it-drunk.html |title=Police Say 20-Year-Old Stole a Plane and Flew It Drunk|last=Foderaro|first=Lisa W. |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=June 23, 2005 | url-access=limited |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

[[JetBlue]] began service at the airport in 2007 and is currently the airport's largest carrier by scheduled passengers.

In June 2009, [[Cape Air]] commenced service to Westchester with flights to [[Martha's Vineyard Airport|Martha's Vineyard]] and [[Nantucket Memorial Airport|Nantucket]] in [[Massachusetts]]. They then introduced service to [[Lebanon Municipal Airport (New Hampshire)|Lebanon (NH)]] in early 2010. In Summer 2022, they eliminated all flights out of White Plains except for subsidized [[essential air service]] routes from [[Lebanon, New Hampshire|Lebanon]].

In May 2011, the [[New York State Department of Transportation]] published the "New York Statewide Airport Economic Impact Study," highlighting the economic impacts of public-use airports in New York state for fiscal year 2009. The study noted that HPN was one of only three airports in the state that increased its enplanements, surpassing the U.S. benchmark. It also noted that the cumulative economic activity for the airport was approximately $736&nbsp;million.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Economic Impacts of Aviation |url=https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/opdm/aviation/benefits}}</ref>

On April 27, 2020, the airport was closed to general aviation traffic for one week and commercial airlines for about a month so Runway 16/34 could be repaved, a project originally scheduled to span four months with construction only occurring from midnight to 6 AM. This decision was made in the midst of [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation|COVID-19 pandemic-related air travel cuts]], which drastically reduced commercial airline service to the airport. Some operators were forced to ferry their aircraft to nearby airports where they could continue flights. This was the first total shutdown of a U.S. commercial airport for reasons relating to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Negroni |first=Christine | author-link=Christine Negroni | title=Few Travelers, Few Flights and Now, a Total Airport Shutdown |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/nyregion/westchester-county-airport-closing-coronavirus.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=April 23, 2020 | url-access=limited}}</ref>

On April 20, 2022, [[Breeze Airways]] announced several new routes from the airport, including the airport's first-ever commercial transcontinental services – although all of the transcontinental routes were later cut.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Schott |first=Paul |date=April 21, 2022 |title=Breeze Airways adding eight routes from Westchester, one from Bradley |url=https://www.ctinsider.com/business/article/Breeze-Airways-adding-eight-routes-from-17108317.php |access-date=2024-06-14 |work=CT Insider}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Hall |first=Phil |date=2023-04-12 |title=Breeze Airways to end service from Westchester County Airport to Los Angeles |url=https://westfaironline.com/aviation/breeze-airways-to-end-service-from-westchester-county-airport-to-los-angeles/ |access-date=2024-06-14 |website=Westfair Communications |language=en-US}}</ref>

Westchester County Airport has several [[fixed-base operator]]s (FBOs), including Signature Flight Support East and West, Atlantic Aviation East and West, [[NetJets]], and Million Air. Although varied in services offered, the FBOs at Westchester County Airport provide [[Jet A]] and [[100LL]] fueling services, repairs and maintenance, aircraft tie-downs, [[de-icing]], [[US Customs|United States Customs]], and other aircraft services.{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole paragraph|date=May 2023}}

Westchester County Airport is also the home of the [[New York Wing Civil Air Patrol]] headquarters, the Lt. Anthony L. Willsea Cadet Squadron (NY-422).{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole sentence|date=May 2023}}

Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) is provided by Airport Operations Crews.  The airport owns three ARFF apparatuses (three Oshkosh Striker 1500s), two of which are in service full-time. The ARFF Crews only respond to aircraft emergencies.  All structure-related fire and rescue calls are deferred to the local fire departments. The Purchase Fire Department, for example, handles all structure calls on the southern part of the airfield, the Armonk Fire Department handles calls on the northern part and the Rye Brook/Port Chester Fire Department handle all calls on the east end, including the main terminal. EMS calls are handled by Port Chester-Rye-Rye Brook EMS, Harrison EMS and Armonk Fire/EMS depending on location of call.{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole paragraph|date=May 2023}}

In 2010, the airport had 191,017 total aircraft operations, an average of 523 per day: 23% commercial aviation, 48% heavy general aviation, and 29% light general aviation. 316 aircraft, including helicopters, are based out of this airport.<ref>{{cite web |date=May 22, 2012 |title=About Us |url=http://airport.westchestergov.com/about-us |access-date=June 15, 2012 |publisher=Airport.westchestergov.com}}</ref>

===Terminal===
[[Image:HPN Terminal.jpg|thumb|The gate area in the main terminal prior to expansion]]
Westchester County Airport has one small, three-level terminal with six gates, of which only four can be used simultaneously because only four aircraft can be scheduled to use the terminal's ramp at any given time. The $35&nbsp;million terminal was built in 1995 and designed by Lothrop Associates.<ref>{{cite web |title=Westchester County Airport Major Modernization and Expansion |url=http://www.lothropassociates.com/project.aspx?type=9&id=17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060520125138/http://lothropassociates.com/project.aspx?type=9&id=17 |archive-date=May 20, 2006 |access-date=February 13, 2018 |website=Lothrop Associates}}</ref> Gates 1, 2, 3, and 4 have [[Jet bridge|jetways]]. The terminal also has a [[Baggage carousel|luggage carousel]], a [[baggage claim]] office and two [[Transportation Security Administration]] (TSA) screening lanes. Passenger amenities include a gift shop, departure lounge, and food concessions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Westchester County Airport Concessions |url=http://www.whiteplainsairport.com/pages/concessions.shtml |access-date=August 13, 2019 |website=whiteplainsairport.com}}</ref>

In November 2015, the airport began a $30&nbsp;million construction project to expand the terminal and ramp areas.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Saeed |first=Khurram |date=November 12, 2015 |title=Taking off: $30M upgrade planned at airport |url=https://www.lohud.com/story/news/transit/2015/11/12/30m-upgrade-planned-westchester-county-airport/75226292/ |access-date=January 5, 2025 |website=lohud.com}}</ref> The project expanded the terminal by 20% and include additional check-in, screening and passenger waiting areas.

==Operations==
In its effort to mitigate aircraft noise pollution in neighboring communities, HPN maintains six major noise abatement programs that are in effect daily.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" />

One of them is its Voluntary Restraint from Flying Program (VRFF), sometimes referred to as a voluntary curfew, that helps assuage anti-airport complainants by requesting—not mandating—that operators refrain from flying into the airport between midnight and 6:30 AM.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |last= |first= |title=It's Not Just an Airport, it's a Neighborhood |url=http://www.westchestergov.com/airport/noise_abatement/FLYER.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012181605/http://www.westchestergov.com/airport/noise_abatement/FLYER.pdf |archive-date=October 12, 2007 |access-date=January 15, 2008 |website=[[Westchester County, New York|County of Westchester]]}}</ref> Those that breach the VRFF are reminded of the initiative and notified of any noise complaints that may have resulted from their operations.

The airport's Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) collects noise data from remote noise-monitoring terminals, and both registered aircraft and community noise levels are published in the Airport Monitor. This system works in conjunction with the High Range Noise Event (HRNE) Program; ANOMS staff can identity any operator who causes a maximum noise level event of 90.0 decibels or higher at any of its remote noise monitor terminals and advise them in order to prevent future noise level transgressions. As of September 2020, there are no fines, penalties, or aircraft restrictions associated with this program.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" />

Additionally, HPN prohibits intersection takeoffs from its runways and restricts maintenance run-ups & the use of reverse thrust. It also employs Advanced Authorization for operations.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=https://airport.westchestergov.com/about-us/environmental-management-system/noise-abatement|title=Noise Office|website=airport.westchestergov.com|access-date=April 21, 2020}}</ref>

The airport's environmental management performance is monitored through its ISO 14001 certified Airport Environmental Management System<ref>{{Cite book |last=National Academies of Sciences |first=Engineering |url=https://www.nap.edu/catalog/22588/environmental-management-system-development-process |title=Environmental Management System Development Process |date=May 9, 2013 |isbn=978-0-309-22395-9 |language=en |doi=10.17226/22588}}</ref> (AEMS). This enables operators to report the airport's impacts on surface water, groundwater, and noise. Airport-wide environmental management practices are also continually revised with this technology, and annual objectives and targets are determined to avoid or mitigate adverse environmental impacts. In addition, airport employees receive environmental training. In 2004, HPN was the third airport in the U.S. to achieve this level of environmental performance.<ref>{{cite web |date=April 10, 2012 |title=Environmental Management System – ISO 14001 Certified |url=https://airport.westchestergov.com/environmental-management-system?task=view |access-date=June 15, 2012 |publisher=Airport.westchestergov.com}}</ref>[[File:HPN (July 2016).jpg|thumb|An aerial view of the airport in 2016.]]

=== Controversies ===
Expansion of the airport has raised concerns over adverse environmental impacts by numerous community advocacy groups and area residents. The facility lies between the [[Blind Brook watershed]] and the Rye Lake watershed/[[Kensico Reservoir]]. The Citizens for a Responsible County Airport, which count the Sierra Club Lower Hudson and Federated Conservationists of Westchester as supporters, has raised safety concerns about the stormwater runoff directed towards Westchester and New York City's drinking water supply. They are especially alarmed about [[Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances|PFAS]] discovered in groundwater tests between the Airport and the Kensico watershed.<ref>{{cite web |date=May 14, 2019 |title=Coalition Against County Airport Expansion Cites 'Forever Chemicals' |url=https://yonkerstimes.com/coalition-against-county-airport-expansion-cites-forever-chemicals |access-date=June 8, 2020 |work=Yonkers Times}}</ref>

==Accidents and incidents==
* December 18, 1954: A [[Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar]], [[aircraft registration]] number ''N711SE'', clipped trees about {{cvt|800|ft|m}} before it struck the ground on a {{cvt|680|ft|m}} knoll located on the [[instrument landing system]] (ILS) approach path. The ceiling was {{cvt|300|ft|m}} with {{cvt|1|mi|km}} visibility. Both pilots were killed.<ref>{{ASN accident|id=19541218-2|access-date=October 29, 2020| title=N711SE}}</ref>
* February 11, 1981: A [[Lockheed Jetstar|Lockheed Jetstar 731]], registration ''N520S'', crashed {{cvt|6,000|ft|m}} from the approach end of runway 16 into a heavily wooded area in [[Armonk, New York]]. The aircraft's electrical system had malfunctioned causing a deviation of the flightpath. The two crew and six passengers died.<ref>{{ASN accident|id=19810211-0|access-date=October 29, 2020| title=N520S}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title=NTSB Aviation Accident Report NTSB-AAR-81-13, adopted August 19, 1981| publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]| url=https://www.ntsb.gov/Pages/brief.aspx?ev_id=27706&key=0| access-date=August 26, 2024}}</ref>
* December 24, 1988: A [[Beechcraft Bonanza|Beechcraft A36 Bonanza]], registration ''N555ST'', crashed and was destroyed after departure in [[instrument meteorological conditions]] (IMC); the pilot and two passengers were killed. The crash occurred about 35 seconds after the pilot acknowledged an [[air traffic control]] (ATC) instruction to change radio frequencies, and witnesses reported that the aircraft was flying in a circle before impact. The [[National Transportation Safety Board]] (NTSB) attributed the accident to [[spatial disorientation]], pilot distraction, and the pilot's failure to maintain the climb; poor visibility was a contributing factor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20001213X27486&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA |title=NTSB Aviation Accident Final Report NYC89FA056 |publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|access-date= August 13, 2020}}</ref>
* June 14, 1990: A [[Cessna Skymaster|Cessna 337G Skymaster]], registration ''N72476'', went into a [[Stall (fluid dynamics)|stall]] and crashed after flying through low clouds on approach. The pilot, who did not have an [[instrument rating]] nor any documented experience with [[instrument flight rules]] (IFR) operations, had been given a [[special visual flight rules]] (SVFR) landing clearance after being advised of IMC at the airport. The aircraft was destroyed and the pilot and single passenger were killed. The NTSB attributed the accident to the pilot's decision to fly under [[visual flight rules]] into instrument meteorological conditions (VFR into IMC) and his subsequent loss of aircraft control. Bad weather and the pilot's lack of IFR experience were contributing factors.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20001212X23514&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA |title=NTSB Aviation Accident Final Report NYC90FA129 |publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|access-date= August 12, 2020}}</ref>
* June 22, 2001: A [[Piper PA-32R|Piper PA-32R-301]], registration ''N13VH'', struck the ground while the pilot was executing a [[missed approach]] in low visibility; the crash destroyed the aircraft and killed the pilot, who was the sole aircraft occupant. Immediately prior to the accident, the pilot had failed to respond to ATC, and performed a series of erratic ascents and descents. Post-crash toxicology tests found signs of [[chlorpheniramine]], a sedating [[antihistamine]], in the pilot's blood and urine. The [[National Transportation Safety Board]] (NTSB) attributed the accident to loss of control and spatial disorientation. Contributing factors were fog and the pilot's use of sedating medication.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20010709X01336&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA |title=NTSB Aviation Accident Final Report IAD01FA070 |publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|access-date= August 12, 2020}}</ref>
* December 31, 2001: A [[Beechcraft Musketeer|Beechcraft BE-23-B24R Sierra]], registration ''N2173W'', lost altitude in a steep turn and crashed in a parking lot while maneuvering to land. The crash and ensuing fire destroyed the aircraft and killed the pilot, who was the sole aircraft occupant. The pilot had diverted to Westchester County Airport after losing radio communications; the cause of the radio failure was not conclusively determined. The NTSB attributed the accident to a loss of aircraft control.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20020104X00023&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA |title=NTSB Aviation Accident Final Report NYC02FA044 |publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|access-date= August 11, 2020}}</ref>
* April 23, 2005: A [[Cessna 172R]], registration ''N61AF'', crashed into trees about {{convert|1|mi|km}} short of runway 16 during a practice ILS approach in IMC. The aircraft was destroyed and the student pilot and flight instructor were killed. The NTSB attributed the accident to the pilot's failure to maintain adequate altitude. Contributing factors were low ceilings, fog, and gusty wind.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20050428X00521&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA |title=NTSB Aviation Accident Final Report NYC05FA075 |publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|access-date= August 11, 2020}}</ref>
* On April 15, 2008, a Cessna Citation 560XL Excel, registration ''N613QS'' was landing on runway 16 when on touchdown, the gear and spoilers retracted with no command. The citation skidded down the runway, and was written off. No one was injured.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Summaries |url=https://www.accidents.app/summaries/accident/20080514X00665 |access-date=2025-06-12 |website=www.accidents.app}}</ref>
* June 18, 2011: A [[Cessna T210N]], registration ''N210KW'', crashed on approach after the pilot took off from Westchester County Airport, immediately [[Mayday|declared an emergency]] of an unspecified nature, and attempted to return. The aircraft came to rest inverted and was consumed in a post-crash fire, killing the pilot and all three passengers. Witnesses reported that the engine ran poorly before the flight and that the pilot performed an unusually large number of [[Run-up (aviation)|engine runups]], while post-crash examination of the engine found evidence of severe [[Engine knocking|detonation]] and improper [[Ignition timing|timing]] of one [[Ignition magneto|magneto]]. Furthermore, [[Noise control|noise abatement]] recordings from the airport revealed that the engine was significantly quieter on approach than during departure, suggesting that the pilot had reduced the power setting. The NTSB attributed the accident to ''"The pilot's decision to depart on the flight with a suspected mechanical deficiency and his subsequent decision to fly the final approach at a reduced power setting. Contributing to the accident was the improper timing of the magneto(s) that resulted in a severe detonation event."''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20110618X55026&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA |title=NTSB Aviation Accident Final Report ERA11FA349 |publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|access-date= July 22, 2020}}</ref>
* June 13, 2014: A [[Piper PA-46#PA-46-500TP Malibu Meridian|Piper PA-46-500TP]], registration ''N5335R'', crashed into trees at high speed immediately after an IMC takeoff, destroying the aircraft and killing the pilot, who was the sole occupant. Reportedly in a rush, the pilot arrived at the airport 1 hour and 15 minutes prior to his scheduled departure time, demanding that the aircraft be readied immediately; the aircraft departed 23 minutes later. The accident was attributed to ''"The pilot's failure to maintain a positive climb rate after takeoff due to [[spatial disorientation]] ([[somatogravic illusion]]). Contributing to the accident was the pilot's self-induced pressure to depart and his decision to depart in low-ceiling and low-visibility conditions."''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20140613X91656&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA |title=NTSB Aviation Accident Final Report ERA14FA288 |publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|access-date= July 20, 2020}}</ref>
* January 19, 2023: a [[Beechcraft Bonanza|Beechcraft A36 Bonanza]], registration ''N19MT'',<ref>{{cite web|url=https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N19MT/history/20230119/2100Z/KJFK/KHPN |title=Flightaware.com tracking history, N19MT, Thursday, 19 January 2023|publisher=[[FlightAware]]|access-date=January 20, 2023}}</ref> crashed into trees on the northern edge of Rye Lake, which is located next the airport, killing both occupants, the pilot and a passenger. The aircraft, en route to [[Cuyahoga County Airport]] from [[John F. Kennedy International Airport]], reported low oil pressure and then engine problems to White Plains ATC approximately a mile away from the airport at 5:25pm ET. 5 minutes later, contact with the aircraft was lost, before reportedly crashing at around 5:38pm ET. The FAA and NTSB are currently investigating the crash.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Santia|first1=Marc|last2=Jose|first2=Chris|last3=Shea|first3=Tom|date=January 19, 2023|url= https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/plane-goes-missing-en-route-to-westchester-county-airport-sources/4057439/?amp=1 |title=2 Dead After Small Plane From JFK Airport Crashes in Westchester County: FAA|publisher=[[WNBC|NBC 4 New York]]|access-date=January 20, 2023}}</ref>
* December 12, 2024: a [[Tecnam P2008]], registration ''N298PM'', crashed around 6:45 PM on [[Interstate 684]] near the airport, killing one aircraft occupant and critically injuring the other. The flight took off from Linden, New Jersey, around 6 PM. The pilot reported engine issues prior to the crash. The [[New York State Police]], the FAA, and the NTSB initiated investigations.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sanders |first=Hank |title=One Dead in Small Plane Crash Near Westchester County Airport |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/nyregion/plane-crash-westchester-airport-ny.html |date=December 12, 2024 |access-date=December 13, 2024 |work=The New York Times |location=New York City |url-access=limited}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/465874|title=Accident description for N298PM at Aviation Safety Network|website=aviationsafetynetwork.org|accessdate= December 14, 2024}}</ref>

== Airport code ==
The [[IATA]] code for Westchester County Airport is '''HPN'''. The origins of this code are in dispute. Some believe it is derived from the name of the city, White Plains (IATA codes normally do not begin with W because those are reserved for radio signals), while others maintain the IATA code represents the first letters of the airport's three neighboring communities, [[Harrison, New York|Harrison]], [[Purchase, New York|Purchase]], and [[North Castle, New York|North Castle]].<ref name=":1">{{cite web |title=Westchester County Airport's Call Letters Dispute |url=http://articles.directorym.com/Westchester_County_Airport-a853975.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080110204857/http://articles.directorym.com/Westchester_County_Airport-a853975.html |archive-date=January 10, 2008}}</ref> The full [[ICAO]] code for Westchester County Airport is '''KHPN'''.<ref name=":1" />
