Santiago
Private Jet Charter

The primary airport for private jet charters to Santiago is Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL/SCEL), located about 10 miles northwest of the city center with dedicated VIP/general aviation terminals, full customs and immigration facilities for international arrivals, and support for all jet types through FBOs like Jet Aviation and Universal Aviation. Smaller regional or general aviation options are limited, so SCL is the standard choice for most private flights. Stratos Jets private flight advisors can coordinate the best handling and ground transfer options for a smooth arrival.

Costs vary based on aircraft type, flight distance, passenger count, and amenities, but hourly rates for long-haul international routes often range from $5,000-$15,000+ (higher for ultra-long-range heavy jets). For example, one-way from New York, Miami, or Los Angeles might start around $100,000-$250,000+ depending on the jet. Shorter regional flights within South America are more affordable.
