Smaller Airports Are Better for Executive Jet Charter Travelers
For the business traveller, getting in and out of large international airports can be one of the most stressful aspects of the job. Not only do you have to contend with ground transportation, traffic and parking, there are also the long waits at the airline counter, security gate, and to board the aircraft. It’s enough to want to throw in your briefcase. Fortunately, there’s a better way to travel: hire an executive jet charter, which can fly into smaller, quieter airports, which are often run by a municipal governing body or are privately owned. A recent article in the New York Times reviews how smaller airports are becoming more popular with business travelers for their shorter wait times, convenience, and accessibility to more and more destinations. They are also the airports of choice for many executive jet charter operations, as many private jets have more flexibility to take off and land along shorter runways.
Why wait?
If you compare one of the world’s busiest airports to one of the world’s smallest, you can see why an executive jet charter to a smaller airport can make a world of difference: On a busy day, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International, which saw more than 104 million passengers travel through its gates in 2016, can see wait times of up to one hour or more at its security gate (see Long Security Lines at Atlanta Airport Continue). Now compare that to one of the world’s smallest airports, Morgantown Municipal Airport in West Virginia, which services executive jet charters and offers 1,000 connecting flights to domestic and international destinations. At this airport, security screening takes just minutes, with shorter lines and efficient processing. There is even a restaurant, complimentary coffee, and concierge services at this smaller airport, making it a win-win for a business traveller.
Keep your shoes on
One of the reasons why security lines are less of an issue when flying by executive jet charter, and especially by private jet in and out of a smaller private airport, is that you likely won’t have to go through a security check. There is usually no Transportation Security Authorization or pre-flight checks required at private airports, so basically you arrive and board your plane (ID may be required by the pilot) and then you’re off.
