Private Aircraft and Commercial Airport “Hubs”

Many people are aware of a major benefit of air charter travel: using smaller local or private airports with less traffic and congestion. These local airports provide a wonderful, peaceful alternative to large commercial hubs. With the ability to leave from or land at these airports, both public and private, often save valuable ground transportation time to and from the terminal.

Yet, there are times, particularly with private jets used for business, that indicate more convenience by using a large commercial hub airport. Often business meetings and seminars are scheduled at hotels located at or close to large commercial airports. The benefit of choosing where to go wheels down at a smaller facility may become a disadvantage in this scenario. Fortunately, your private plane should also be welcome at most commercial airports, even those coded as hubs.

You will, no doubt, encounter more traffic, commercial and private flights, in the sometimes-congested sky around the airport. But pilots and crews, who are Part 135 certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, are equally comfortable touching down at commercial hubs or smaller local airports.
