Private jets can access all commercial airports, but commercial airlines can't get into those smaller airfields.
Yes, they do. Most big cities have several airports capable of handling private jets. That means you can often avoid a lot of the crowds, traffic, and delays.
Private planes do have to pay fees to land at airports, similar to commercial airlines. These fees are often called landing fees or airport fees. They vary depending on a variety of factors such as the weight and type of aircraft, length of stay, and services needed.
Other airports may have dedicated separate terminals for private jets (operated by a Fixed Based Operator or FBO). FBOs are found at commercial and private airports and will handle arrival, ground services, and passenger/crew logistics for private operators.
Passports and Visas Are RequiredWhen it comes to flying internationally on a private jet, the same rules apply for passports and visas as they would on a commercial flight. These are not required as part of the airline, but for entry into a country.
It's a question we hear regularly from new students. There aren't any substantial limits on traveling with your private license; you can fly all over the world. If you're on a trip and you'd like to go flying, it may be as simple as heading to the nearest GA airport and going up with an instructor.
For pilots of private aircraft, clearance is granted directly and systematically from APIS processing. For operators of GA commercial aircraft, clearance is secured by contacting the CBP port associated with your departure (generally the last point of departure).
Absolutely. I have had My Mooney and the Cessna I own now into a number of international airports. Gen aviation pilots usually try to avoid them both for the traffic issues and the big landing fees so you don't see them there very much.
As a general average, Chicago O'Hare (KORD) seems to do somewhere between 1.5 and 2 operations per minute (so roughly one takeoff or landing every 30-40 seconds).
The short answer is: Yes. Private jet customs follow a similar process compared to commercial flights. You'll need to present your passport and visa, and you may have to declare certain items you're bringing into the country. But there are a few differences, too.
All civil, private aircraft entering the U.S. must first land at an airport of entry before continuing to their destinations, unless other arrangements are made with U.S. CBP . Advance notification must be provided electronically to CBP by means of the eAPIS . See the APIS section for more information.
