July 9, 2010, Newsletter Issue #182: Private Aircraft Airport Access

Tip of the Week

In most cases, private aircraft have access to the same airports used by commercial airliners. While those who use private jets for their air charter travel often choose to use smaller airports, which are less congested and closer to many destinations, there are situations when large commercial facilities, including those classified as hubs, may be more convenient.

It comes as a surprise to no one that many airports used by commercial airlines tend to be more congested than nonhub and smaller facilities. Although your private plane may be a turbo prop or a light jet, you still have the right to the same landing consideration as a large commercial airliner. However, as with commercial travel, private jets must take their place in the often-crowded loop of public and private aviation aircraft waiting for permission to go wheels down.

If your airplane charter is arranged by one of the best firms, your private flights will begin and end smoothly, regardless of the airports you select to use. You should be aware that occasionally there are restrictions instituted by commercial airports on private aviation. For example, after 9/11, there was a period when private flights were prohibited from departing or landing at National Airport in Washington, D.C. In most cases, however, when you need to have your private aircraft use a heavily trafficked public airport, they should welcome you just as they do large commercial airliners.
