With four FBO’s operating at Dubai World Central, there will be no lowering of standards when it comes to the levels of luxury, pampering, efficiency and comfort that is available to those passing through the terminals. In fact, quite the opposite: with more space and less traffic, it is likely there will be less queues and delays for incoming passengers, meaning it is very plausible that those flying into Dubai World Central will be able to travel to the centre of Dubai more quickly than from Dubai International, despite being further away.

The airport is only 17km from Hollywood, or a 20 minute drive, or alternatively is a 20 minute drive to the centre of Los Angeles itself. [links]

Those travelling by private jet to Dubai have been facing something of a conundrum over recent years; which airport to fly into. [links]

To the wider public, Paris Le Bourget airport – open only to general aviation – is probably best known for hosting the Paris Air Show biannually. To those who fly by private jet, however, it is better known as one of the busiest European airports for private aviation. Handling 54,971 movements (fixed wing and helicopter) in 2013, the airport has three runways and can cater for all aircraft types.

Until 2014, the only choice was Dubai International (IATA: DXB); however, in keeping with the speed of development in the Gulf, and the emergence of Dubai as a global aviation hub connecting the far east with Europe and Africa, there are now concerted efforts underway to move all private and corporate aviation to Dubai World Central in order to ease the volume of traffic heading to Dubai International.

Although further from the city centre of London than both Le Bourget and Teterboro are from the cities they respectively serve, London Luton is only 2 miles from junction 10a on the M1, meaning for those arriving at Luton by private jet there is very quick access to the city centre by car. Equally, there is a train service directly from the airport to London St. Pancras station, which takes just over 30 mins. here

An honorary mention also goes out to the UK’s 32nd squadron. The incredible fleet includes two AW109 helicopters, a Sikorsky S-76 Spirit, and a further ten private jets. In total, that’s around $100 million worth of equipment. It might seem a little indulgent. But they are royalty, after all. more

Passengers can access a range of amenities that would suit any high-ranking political figure. As well as enjoying a private suite complete with shower, the president can get down to business at any point with internet access that reaches over 10,000 meters above the ground. Elsewhere, a conference room boasting seating for up to 60 VIPs means there’s no time to rest aboard this refined presidential aircraft. here

A strong leader needs a strong aircraft, and that is exactly what Russia has in its Ilyushin IL-96-300. It came at a cost of around $500 million when factoring in the plush interiors and high-tech security. [links]

Of those, the Airbus A330-243 Prestige is the daddy. It’s reserved for events like the G20, a summit where the world’s most influential leaders gather to discuss topics of major political concern. And it’s been used for official visits to the US, China, and Russia. For example, the aircraft landed at Vnukovo-2 airport in April 2019 for an official visit to Russia.

The biggest loser in 2018 was Atlanta Peachtree DeKalb Airport (PDK), which saw its movements plummet 12.7%, although hosting the Super Bowl in 2019 may make for a rebound.

Traffic of private jets at Houston Hobby Airport (HOU) declined 4.1%, Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE) flights dipped 3.9% and Norman Y.

There were only modest gains for private jet travel in 2018 with negative growth in the second half of the year, and there was a mixed bag with the busiest business aviation airports as well. While 13 airports showed increases in flights, 12 saw decreases. California, Florida and Texas each placed four airports on the list, Illinois had two and while New York only had one (Westchester County Airport in White Plains) Teterboro (TEB) Airport across the Hudson River from Manhattan in fact was the busiest private jet airport.

[mnem0sys]

There were over 200 flights per day at Teterboro Airport in 2018, tops on the list compiled by Argus TRAQPak, and more than double the second place entrant. That said, movements dropped 0.7% to 73,793. Second place Love Field (DAL) in Dallas had 35,442 flights on 1.3% growth while third-ranked Westchester County Airport (HPN) tallied 32,612 flights despite a 7.3% drop.

Hanscom Field in Bedford, Massachusetts, serving Boston, Opa Locka in Miami and Chicago Executive Airport.

Of all airports solely serving general and private aviation, Van Nuys is perhaps the most well know in terms of a general awareness amongst the wider public. Situated towards the north western city limits of Los Angeles in the San Fernando valley, the airport has featured in many films and TV shows, as well as being the gateway to Hollywood for many a film star or celebrity. here

Teterboro Airport is located only 19km’s from Midtown Manhattan – which, when you consider the huge scale of the urban area of New York City, makes it an incredibly convenient airport for those travelling to the Big Apple by private jet. The airport maintains a weight limit of 100,000 lbs per aircraft, which largely limits traffic to general aviation, as was the intention. more
