How Much Does a Private Jet Charter Cost at Major Airports?
Most private jets are based at regional or executive airports that specialize in private aviation. These locations provide a more streamlined experience and often lower costs compared to major commercial airports.
Primeo recommends using airports tailored to private travel whenever possible. Clients benefit from:
Improved pricing
Faster, smoother ground handling
A more relaxed, private travel environment
In contrast, flying in and out of major commercial airports can increase costs and reduce the overall luxury and convenience of your charter experience.
Understanding One-Way Flight Costs
When chartering a jet for a one-way trip, there are several factors that can affect pricing, including repositioning and short leg fees.
Repositioning Fees
Also known as ferry fees, these charges cover the cost of flying the aircraft from its home base to your departure airport. Repositioning is billed separately from passenger flight time.
Short Leg Fees
Flights under roughly one hour can generate minimal revenue for the aircraft owner but still result in wear and tear. Short leg fees compensate for this, ensuring operators can cover operational costs.
Fuel & Handling Fees at Major Airports
Fuel Surcharges
Fuel prices at major commercial airports—like Boston Logan (BOS) or San Francisco International (SFO)—are often significantly higher than at regional airports. This can add $500 or more to your charter cost.
Handling Fees
Airports with heavy commercial traffic typically charge more for ground handling, ramp use, and overnight parking. These fees can noticeably increase the overall cost of your private flight.
By understanding these factors, clients can make informed choices and potentially reduce costs by selecting airports that cater to private aviation. Primeo helps you navigate these options, ensuring a smooth and cost-efficient charter experience.
