Flying private jet | Official Website

Flying private grants wealthy travelers the ultimate flexibility and luxury while traveling. These travelers can depart from their airport and fly to their intended destination whenever they please, flying without the restrictions of scheduled commercial flights. This helps many travelers who may need to quickly fly to a specific destination and are therefore not required to wait at an airport or grab the nearest commercial flight.

Additionally, most private jets are much smaller than commercial airliners. This means that they can land on and take off on shorter runways at much smaller airports than commercial airliners. This greatly expands the number of destinations that private jet travelers can fly to.

Finally, private jet operators can pick their route depending on the range of their business jet. This means they are not forced to travel using connecting flights like many scheduled commercial flights. Instead, private jet users can fly directly from their current location to their intended destination.

Throughout the 2000s, private jet travel, especially in the United States, has grown consistently. Additionally, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many travelers resorted to flying privately instead of risking their health on airlines. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has ended, private jet travel has taken a small step back. Even so, private jet travel has increased compared to 2019, which was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overall, private jet travel in 2024 has decreased by about 1% compared to 2023. Even so, many states saw significant increases year-over-year. According to Private Jet Card Comparisons, the US saw over 3 million private jet flights in 2024, down overall from the 3.12 million recorded in 2023.

In 2024, Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Colorado were the states that saw the most private jet departures. Even so:
