The airports of the jet set
Where private jets actually land — and why. Runways, customs, opening hours, curfews, drive times and the terminals (FBOs) that make the whole thing take fifteen minutes.
Famous ones first
Teterboro, Van Nuys, Farnborough, Le Bourget, Aspen, St Barts…
Teterboro Airport KTEB / TEB
New York, United States · 7,000 ft runway · 35 min to centre
America's busiest business-aviation airport, 35 minutes from Midtown Manhattan through the Lincoln Tunnel, with five large FBOs and every major charter operator on the field. A 100,000 lb weight limit rules out airliner-based VIP jets, and the noise programme (Runway 24 limits, 23:00–06:00 voluntary restraint) is enforced with sanctions. Expect delays and parking pressure around Thanksgiving, holidays and US Open week.
Van Nuys Airport KVNY / VNY
Los Angeles, United States · 8,001 ft runway · 45 min to centre
The West Coast's premier business airport, home of Clay Lacy Aviation and the largest concentration of managed jets in the world, 25 minutes from Beverly Hills and Studio City. The night curfew and Stage-2 ban are strictly enforced; CBP clearance is available via the FBOs with advance notice. Runway rehabilitation closures are scheduled during 2026, so check NOTAMs.
Farnborough Airport EGLF / FAB
London, United Kingdom · 8,005 ft runway · 60 min to centre
Europe's flagship business-only airport, with a single-operator FBO, its own CIQ and the fastest turnarounds in the London area. Best for the West End, Surrey and the M3/M4 corridors; annual movement cap and weekend limits mean slots can be tight during the Farnborough Airshow and peak summer weekends. Premium pricing but very high service standards.
Paris–Le Bourget Airport LFPB / LBG
Paris, France · 9,843 ft runway · 30 min to centre
Europe's busiest business-aviation airport and the only Paris option for most charter flights, with more than half a dozen competing FBOs and extensive hangarage. Just 30 minutes from the Champs-Élysées outside rush hour; night jet departures are banned so late arrivals need planning. Expect heavy demand and parking premiums during the Paris Air Show (odd years) and fashion weeks.
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport KASE / ASE
Aspen, United States · 8,006 ft runway · 10 min to centre
The most demanding of the ski-resort airports, ten minutes from downtown Aspen and Snowmass, with a single FBO, a 95 ft wingspan limit, a 23:00–07:00 curfew and no CBP. One-way operations (land Runway 15, depart 33), high terrain and rapidly changing winter weather cause frequent diversions to Rifle or Eagle. Christmas–New Year and Presidents' Day require parking reservations far ahead.
Gustaf III Airport TFFJ / SBH
St. Barthélemy, Saint Barthélemy · 2,133 ft runway · 5 min to centre
One of the world's most demanding landings: a 650 m runway ending at St Jean beach, reached over a hilltop saddle, restricted to specially qualified pilots in STOL aircraft. Business jets land at St. Maarten and connect by commuter turboprop or helicopter. Daylight only; customs available.
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport LFMN / NCE
Nice, France · 9,711 ft runway · 20 min to centre
The Riviera's principal gateway and Europe's second-busiest business-aviation airport in summer, with a dedicated GA terminal (T3) and heliport connections to Monaco in 7 minutes. Slots and parking are severely constrained during the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix and July–August; book weeks ahead. Twenty minutes to the Promenade des Anglais.
Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai World Central) OMDW / DWC
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · 14,764 ft runway · 40 min to centre
Dubai's purpose-built business-aviation hub with five private terminals, a 4,500 m runway and no slot congestion. Best for Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Jebel Ali and Expo City; about 40 minutes to DIFC, longer in rush hour. Some VVIP flights still prefer DXB's Terminal 2 GA area for proximity to Downtown.
London Biggin Hill Airport EGKB / BQH
London, United Kingdom · 5,925 ft runway · 40 min to centre
Closest dedicated business airport to the City and Canary Wharf, with a 6-minute helicopter shuttle to London Heliport (Battersea). Longer opening hours than Farnborough and a large MRO/hangar campus (Bombardier service centre). Runway length limits heavy departures on hot days; hilly local terrain drives noise-abatement procedures.
San José Mineta International Airport KSJC / SJC
San Francisco Bay Area, United States · 11,000 ft runway · 70 min to centre
Silicon Valley's airport, ten minutes from Downtown San Jose and 20 from Cupertino, Mountain View and Palo Alto, but 70 minutes from San Francisco. Two FBOs, CBP and an 11,000 ft runway; the night curfew applies to noisier aircraft. Tech-company shuttle traffic makes it one of the busiest GA ramps in California.
All 292 airports
292 airports
Addison Airport KADS / ADS
Dallas, United States · 7,203 ft runway · 25 min to centre
North Dallas's corporate airport, 25 minutes from Downtown and minutes from the Legacy/Frisco corporate campuses and the Galleria, with CBP and three competitive FBOs (Million Air's home base). Busy but rarely delayed; helicopter operations are common.
Al Bateen Executive Airport OMAD / AZI
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates · 10,499 ft runway · 15 min to centre
The Middle East's only dedicated business-jet airport, on Abu Dhabi island 15 minutes from the Corniche and ADGM. Uncongested, 24-hour and with modern FBO terminals; the 3,200 m runway handles anything up to a BBJ. Preferred for Formula 1 (Yas Marina, 30 minutes) and government-related visits.
Annecy Mont Blanc Airport LFLP / NCY
Geneva, France · 5,348 ft runway · 45 min to centre
A French-side relief airport for Geneva 45 minutes away, popular for Annecy, Megève and the Chamonix valley in winter. Customs are available by prior notice and the FBO holds a bonded-warehouse status for duty-free fuel. Runway length and mountain surroundings limit it to light/midsize jets in good weather.
Augsburg Airport EDMA / AGB
Munich, Germany · 5,230 ft runway · 55 min to centre
A quiet regional GA airport an hour west of Munich, useful for Augsburg's industrial base and as an uncongested Munich alternative for light jets. Customs by prior notice; night operations restricted.
Bankstown Airport YSBK / BWU
Sydney, Australia · 4,646 ft runway · 35 min to centre
Sydney's main GA reliever, 35 minutes south-west of the CBD, with no curfew-driven congestion and customs by prior arrangement. The short runway restricts it to turboprops and light jets; heavy traffic uses Kingsford Smith.
Boca Raton Airport KBCT / BCT
Palm Beach, United States · 6,276 ft runway · 35 min to centre
A busy corporate airport minutes from the Boca Raton Resort and 35 minutes south of Palm Beach, with CBP by appointment and two FBOs. Voluntary curfew and neighbourhood sensitivity; parking fills in winter and around the Boca Raton Bowl and PGA events.
Boeing Field / King County International Airport KBFI / BFI
Seattle, United States · 10,000 ft runway · 15 min to centre
Seattle's business-aviation airport, 15 minutes from Downtown and Amazon's campus, with three FBOs, 24-hour CBP and a 10,000 ft runway shared with Boeing test and delivery flights. Far quicker than SeaTac; noise-abatement procedures apply over Georgetown and Beacon Hill.
Centennial Airport KAPA / APA
Denver, United States · 10,002 ft runway · 30 min to centre
One of the busiest GA airports in the US, 30 minutes south of Downtown Denver in the Denver Tech Center corridor, with CBP, a 10,000 ft runway and three FBOs including the members-style XJet terminal. High elevation reduces payload on summer afternoons; winter operations are well supported.
Chicago Executive Airport KPWK / PWK
Chicago, United States · 5,001 ft runway · 45 min to centre
The North Shore's corporate airport in Wheeling, 45 minutes from the Loop but close to Lake Forest, Northbrook and the O'Hare business corridor. CBP by appointment, three FBOs and no airline traffic; the 5,000 ft runway restricts heavy jets.
DeKalb-Peachtree Airport KPDK / PDK
Atlanta, United States · 6,001 ft runway · 25 min to centre
Atlanta's premier business airport in Chamblee, 25 minutes from Buckhead and Midtown, with three FBOs and CBP. A 6,000 ft runway and weight limits keep out the heaviest jets; ramp space is tight during the Masters (Augusta traffic) and major conventions.
Doha International Airport OTBD / DIA
Doha, Qatar · 15,000 ft runway · 15 min to centre
Doha's former main airport, now used by the Amiri Flight, the air force and selected business-aviation operators via Qatar Executive and Rizon Jet. Fifteen minutes from the Corniche and extremely quiet, but access is by permission and not all operators are accepted (verify current policy).
Farnborough Airport EGLF / FAB
London, United Kingdom · 8,005 ft runway · 60 min to centre
Europe's flagship business-only airport, with a single-operator FBO, its own CIQ and the fastest turnarounds in the London area. Best for the West End, Surrey and the M3/M4 corridors; annual movement cap and weekend limits mean slots can be tight during the Farnborough Airshow and peak summer weekends. Premium pricing but very high service standards.
Fulton County Airport (Charlie Brown Field) KFTY / FTY
Atlanta, United States · 5,796 ft runway · 20 min to centre
West Atlanta's GA airport, 20 minutes from Downtown and the film studios, with no customs and a 5,800 ft runway. Cheaper and less busy than PDK; suited to light and midsize jets.
Henderson Executive Airport KHND / HND
Las Vegas, United States · 6,501 ft runway · 25 min to centre
Las Vegas's purpose-built reliever, 25 minutes south of the Strip, with generous ramp space and no airline traffic. No CBP, so international arrivals clear at Harry Reid first. Used heavily during CES and F1 weeks when the main airport is at capacity.
Istanbul Atatürk Airport LTBA / ISL
Istanbul, Turkey · 9,843 ft runway · 35 min to centre
Since scheduled airlines moved to Istanbul Airport in 2019, Atatürk has been Istanbul's dedicated business-aviation and state airport, with a General Aviation Terminal, several FBOs and no airline congestion. Around 35 minutes to Levent and Taksim on the European side. Fastest CIQ in the city.
La Môle–Saint-Tropez Airport LFTZ / LTT
Nice, France · 3,871 ft runway · 110 min to centre
The only fixed-wing airport within 15 km of Saint-Tropez, tucked into a valley with a demanding approach that requires prior crew familiarisation. Daylight-only operations and a short runway restrict it to light jets and turboprops. Customs available on request; most heavy-jet passengers land at Nice and transfer by helicopter.
Lanseria International Airport FALA / HLA
Johannesburg, South Africa · 10,000 ft runway · 40 min to centre
Johannesburg's business-aviation airport north-west of the city, 40 minutes from Sandton and closer to the Cradle of Humankind and Sun City, with a 3,000 m runway, 24-hour CIQ and ExecuJet's flagship African FBO. Also home to charter and safari operators; a few low-cost airline flights share the field.
Laurence G. Hanscom Field KBED / BED
Boston, United States · 7,011 ft runway · 35 min to centre
New England's busiest business airport in Bedford, 35 minutes from Boston and minutes from the Route 128 tech and biotech belt, Lexington and Concord. Three FBOs and CBP; a night-operations surcharge and community noise pressure discourage late flights. Hangar expansion has been politically contested.
London Biggin Hill Airport EGKB / BQH
London, United Kingdom · 5,925 ft runway · 40 min to centre
Closest dedicated business airport to the City and Canary Wharf, with a 6-minute helicopter shuttle to London Heliport (Battersea). Longer opening hours than Farnborough and a large MRO/hangar campus (Bombardier service centre). Runway length limits heavy departures on hot days; hilly local terrain drives noise-abatement procedures.
Manassas Regional Airport KHEF / HEF
Washington, D.C., United States · 6,200 ft runway · 50 min to centre
Virginia's largest GA airport, 50 minutes from downtown Washington and convenient for the western suburbs, Dulles corridor and Quantico. CBP available, two FBOs and low fees; a useful alternative to Dulles for light and midsize jets. Lies inside the DC Special Flight Rules Area, so flight-plan and transponder rules apply.
Miami Executive Airport KTMB / TMB
Miami, United States · 5,002 ft runway · 40 min to centre
A quiet south-west Miami reliever, 40 minutes from Brickell and closer to Coral Gables, Pinecrest and the Keys. CBP available; the 5,000 ft runways limit heavy jets. Low fees and easy parking.
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport KOPF / OPF
Miami, United States · 8,002 ft runway · 30 min to centre
Miami's largest business airport, 30 minutes from Brickell and Miami Beach, with 24-hour CBP, an 8,000 ft runway and three high-end FBOs (Fontainebleau Aviation is among the most luxurious in the US). Heavy traffic during Art Basel (December), the Miami Grand Prix (May) and the winter season. Popular for South American departures.
Morristown Municipal Airport KMMU / MMU
New York, United States · 5,999 ft runway · 55 min to centre
A Teterboro reliever in the New Jersey corporate belt, 55 minutes from Midtown and 20 from the pharmaceutical headquarters around Morris County. Signature's terminal offers CBP clearance (user-fee); parking is far easier than Teterboro and the runway is slightly shorter. Popular as a quieter, cheaper base for the New York area.
Oberpfaffenhofen Airport EDMO / OBF
Munich, Germany · 7,500 ft runway · 35 min to centre
A former Dornier works airfield west of Munich now licensed for a capped number of business-aviation movements, 35 minutes from the city centre and closer than the main airport for the Starnberg lake district. No slot coordination, on-site customs and a modern business aviation centre; Sunday operations and night flying are restricted.
Paris–Le Bourget Airport LFPB / LBG
Paris, France · 9,843 ft runway · 30 min to centre
Europe's busiest business-aviation airport and the only Paris option for most charter flights, with more than half a dozen competing FBOs and extensive hangarage. Just 30 minutes from the Champs-Élysées outside rush hour; night jet departures are banned so late arrivals need planning. Expect heavy demand and parking premiums during the Paris Air Show (odd years) and fashion weeks.
Rand Airport FAGM / QRA
Johannesburg, South Africa · 5,617 ft runway · 30 min to centre
Johannesburg's historic GA airport in Germiston, 30 minutes from Sandton, hosting charter, maintenance and heritage aviation. Customs by prior arrangement (verify); the short runway at high elevation limits it to light aircraft.
Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport KBJC / BJC
Denver, United States · 9,000 ft runway · 30 min to centre
Denver's north-west reliever in Broomfield, 30 minutes from Downtown and 20 from Boulder, with a 9,000 ft runway, two FBOs and CBP by prior arrangement. Less congested than Centennial and the natural choice for Boulder's tech scene and the northern ski resorts.
Scottsdale Airport KSDL / SDL
Scottsdale, United States · 8,249 ft runway · 10 min to centre
Minutes from the Scottsdale resorts, golf courses and Old Town, with three FBOs, CBP and an 8,249 ft runway. The Waste Management Phoenix Open and Barrett-Jackson auction (late January–February) and Super Bowl weeks make it one of the busiest GA ramps in the country, with mandatory parking reservations.
Seletar Airport WSSL / XSP
Singapore, Singapore · 6,024 ft runway · 30 min to centre
Singapore's business-aviation airport with multiple FBOs, extensive MRO (Bombardier, Jet Aviation) and its own CIQ terminal, 30 minutes from Marina Bay and Raffles Place. The 1,836 m runway limits heavy jets and there are noise-sensitive hours; extremely busy during the Singapore Airshow (February) and the F1 night race (September).
Sorocaba Airport SDCO / SOD
São Paulo, Brazil · 5,347 ft runway · 80 min to centre
Brazil's fastest-growing business-aviation airport, 90 km west of São Paulo with 24-hour operations, no slots, no noise restrictions and major MRO and hangar clusters. No customs, so it serves as the parking and maintenance base after international clearance at Guarulhos; 80 minutes by road or 30 by helicopter.
St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport LSZR / ACH
Zurich, Switzerland · 4,921 ft runway · 75 min to centre
A privately run business airport on Lake Constance, an hour east of Zurich and the closest field to Liechtenstein, Bregenz and the St. Gallen business cluster. Customs clearing with no advance notice; the midday closure and 1,500 m runway are the main constraints. Useful overflow during Zurich's WEF peak.
Sugar Land Regional Airport KSGR / SGR
Houston, United States · 8,000 ft runway · 35 min to centre
A city-owned corporate airport south-west of Houston, 35 minutes from Downtown and close to the Energy Corridor and Sugar Land headquarters. CBP on site, an 8,000 ft runway and a single well-regarded FBO; a quiet alternative to Hobby.
Teterboro Airport KTEB / TEB
New York, United States · 7,000 ft runway · 35 min to centre
America's busiest business-aviation airport, 35 minutes from Midtown Manhattan through the Lincoln Tunnel, with five large FBOs and every major charter operator on the field. A 100,000 lb weight limit rules out airliner-based VIP jets, and the noise programme (Runway 24 limits, 23:00–06:00 voluntary restraint) is enforced with sanctions. Expect delays and parking pressure around Thanksgiving, holidays and US Open week.
Toluca International Airport MMTO / TLC
Mexico City, Mexico · 13,780 ft runway · 70 min to centre
Mexico's business-aviation capital, west of Mexico City with a long runway, many FBOs and hangars, and no airline congestion. About 70 minutes to Polanco and Santa Fe (Santa Fe is closer, 45 minutes); the high elevation cuts payload. The default choice for the capital since GA was pushed out of MEX.
Toussus-le-Noble Airport LFPN / TNF
Paris, France · 3,609 ft runway · 40 min to centre
A quiet Paris-area airfield south-west of the city, handy for Versailles, Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and the Saclay tech cluster. Jet operations are prohibited and customs are not on site, so it suits Schengen turboprop trips only. Cheap parking and no slot coordination.
Van Nuys Airport KVNY / VNY
Los Angeles, United States · 8,001 ft runway · 45 min to centre
The West Coast's premier business airport, home of Clay Lacy Aviation and the largest concentration of managed jets in the world, 25 minutes from Beverly Hills and Studio City. The night curfew and Stage-2 ban are strictly enforced; CBP clearance is available via the FBOs with advance notice. Runway rehabilitation closures are scheduled during 2026, so check NOTAMs.
Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai World Central) OMDW / DWC
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · 14,764 ft runway · 40 min to centre
Dubai's purpose-built business-aviation hub with five private terminals, a 4,500 m runway and no slot congestion. Best for Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Jebel Ali and Expo City; about 40 minutes to DIFC, longer in rush hour. Some VVIP flights still prefer DXB's Terminal 2 GA area for proximity to Downtown.
Beijing Capital International Airport ZBAA / PEK
Beijing, China · 12,467 ft runway · 45 min to centre
Beijing's primary business-aviation entry point, with a dedicated business-aviation terminal on the east side and 45 minutes to the CBD and Financial Street. Landing permits, sponsor letters and slot approval take several working days; parking is restricted and can be limited to short stays. Government events (NPC in March, major summits) bring closures.
Beijing Daxing International Airport ZBAD / PKX
Beijing, China · 12,467 ft runway · 50 min to centre
Beijing's second mega-hub, 50 minutes south of the CBD, with ample capacity but less developed business-aviation facilities than Capital. A workable alternative when Capital's GA parking is exhausted; permits follow the same CAAC process.
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport CYTZ / YTZ
Toronto, Canada · 3,988 ft runway · 10 min to centre
On the Toronto Islands, a ten-minute walk or tunnel ride from the Financial District, but jets are prohibited and the runway is under 4,000 ft. A superb option for turboprop trips from Montreal, Ottawa or New York; CBSA and US CBP pre-clearance are on site. Curfew and slot coordination apply.
Boston Logan International Airport KBOS / BOS
Boston, United States · 10,083 ft runway · 15 min to centre
Fifteen minutes from the Financial District and Seaport, Logan's Signature FBO offers the fastest access to downtown Boston but shares a busy airline field with taxi delays and high fees. Hanscom is the quieter reliever for the Route 128 corridor.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport VABB / BOM
Mumbai, India · 11,302 ft runway · 40 min to centre
Mumbai's single-runway hub is 40 minutes from Nariman Point and BKC in traffic, with a dedicated GA terminal but severe parking limits (often 2–4 hours before repositioning). Navi Mumbai now takes overflow. Indian landing permits and prior CIQ notification required.
Chicago Midway International Airport KMDW / MDW
Chicago, United States · 6,522 ft runway · 25 min to centre
Chicago's downtown-side airport, 25 minutes from the Loop, with two FBOs, CBP and fewer delays than O'Hare. Runway length limits fully loaded heavy jets; the Fly Quiet programme discourages late-night operations. Most convenient for the city core and South Loop.
Chicago O'Hare International Airport KORD / ORD
Chicago, United States · 13,000 ft runway · 40 min to centre
O'Hare's Signature FBO handles heavy and widebody VIP aircraft that Midway and Executive cannot, 40 minutes from the Loop. Long taxi times and airline delays make it a last resort for routine business-jet flights.
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport KDFW / DFW
Dallas, United States · 13,401 ft runway · 35 min to centre
The mid-cities mega-hub, 35 minutes from either Dallas or Fort Worth, with a Signature FBO for heavy jets, widebody VIP and connecting passengers. American Airlines' hub traffic means taxi delays; Love Field and Addison are the norm for business jets.
Dallas Love Field KDAL / DAL
Dallas, United States · 8,800 ft runway · 15 min to centre
Dallas's close-in airport, 15 minutes from Downtown, Uptown and Highland Park, with three FBOs, 24-hour CBP and an 8,800 ft runway. Southwest Airlines' hub adds airline traffic but GA remains fluid; Jet Aviation's terminal is a flagship.
Denver International Airport KDEN / DEN
Denver, United States · 16,000 ft runway · 40 min to centre
The continent's longest runway and a Signature FBO make DEN the option for widebody VIP, heavy jets and connections, 40 minutes north-east of Downtown. Centennial and Rocky Mountain Metro are the normal business-jet choices.
Dubai International Airport OMDB / DXB
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · 13,123 ft runway · 15 min to centre
The world's busiest international hub, only 15 minutes from Downtown and DIFC, with FBOs clustered around Terminal 2 and the Executive Flight area. Slots are tightly coordinated and parking is limited and expensive; most operators position to Al Maktoum after drop-off. Unbeatable convenience for Deira, Downtown and Business Bay.
Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) MMSM / NLU
Mexico City, Mexico · 14,764 ft runway · 60 min to centre
The capital's new northern airport, an hour from Polanco, with a 4,500 m runway, ample parking and a GA terminal. Traffic remains light so slots are easy; useful for heavy aircraft and as an alternative when Toluca is full.
Geneva Airport LSGG / GVA
Geneva, Switzerland · 12,795 ft runway · 15 min to centre
Europe's third-busiest business airport and the gateway to the Alps, private banking and the UN. Five competing FBOs sit on the north (GA) side, 15 minutes from the lakefront and with French-sector customs available for direct exit into France. Slots are coordinated and winter weekends (Verbier, Courchevel, Gstaad traffic) are saturated; parking is scarce during Davos week and the Geneva Motor Show.
George Bush Intercontinental Airport KIAH / IAH
Houston, United States · 12,001 ft runway · 35 min to centre
Houston's intercontinental hub, 35 minutes north of Downtown and close to The Woodlands, with a Signature FBO for heavy jets, widebody VIP and international connections. Hobby is preferred for city and Galleria-area business.
Hamad International Airport OTHH / DOH
Doha, Qatar · 15,912 ft runway · 20 min to centre
Qatar's flagship hub with a dedicated Qatar Executive FBO terminal, 20 minutes from West Bay and Msheireb. Slots are coordinated; heavy transit traffic peaks overnight. The old Doha International remains available for state and select operators.
Harry Reid International Airport KLAS / LAS
Las Vegas, United States · 14,515 ft runway · 10 min to centre
Ten minutes from the Strip and the Sphere, with two very large FBOs on the west side that handle some of the highest business-jet volumes in the US. CES (January), the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix (November), the Super Bowl and major fights trigger mandatory parking reservations and slot programmes; Henderson absorbs overflow.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport KATL / ATL
Atlanta, United States · 12,390 ft runway · 25 min to centre
The world's busiest airport, 25 minutes from Downtown, with a Signature FBO for heavy jets, widebody VIP and Delta connections. Heavy airline traffic makes it the last choice for routine business-jet flights; PDK is standard.
Hollywood Burbank Airport KBUR / BUR
Los Angeles, United States · 6,886 ft runway · 30 min to centre
The entertainment industry's airport, minutes from the Warner Bros., Disney and Universal lots and 30 minutes from Downtown. Three FBOs, CBP on request and a friendlier noise regime than Van Nuys; the shorter runway and summer heat limit heavy departures.
Hong Kong International Airport VHHH / HKG
Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR · 12,467 ft runway · 35 min to centre
Asia's benchmark FBO: HKBAC runs a private terminal with its own CIQ, lounges and hangars on the south side of Chek Lap Kok, 35 minutes from Central by road. The airport is 24-hour with a 30-day slot window and expanded parking since the three-runway system opened; peak demand during Art Basel, the Sevens and the Rugby season. Ferry and helicopter links to Macau and the Pearl River Delta.
Incheon International Airport RKSI / ICN
Seoul, South Korea · 13,123 ft runway · 60 min to centre
Korea's 24-hour intercontinental hub on Yeongjong island, an hour from central Seoul and 20 minutes from Songdo. Handles widebody VIP and night arrivals that Gimpo's curfew prevents; slots coordinated.
Indira Gandhi International Airport VIDP / DEL
Delhi, India · 14,534 ft runway · 40 min to centre
India's busiest airport, 40 minutes from Connaught Place and Aerocity, with a dedicated GA terminal operated by Bird ExecuJet and better parking than Mumbai. Winter fog (December–January) causes CAT III-only operations and delays; permits take a few days.
Istanbul Airport LTFM / IST
Istanbul, Turkey · 13,451 ft runway · 50 min to centre
Turkey's mega-hub on the Black Sea coast, 50 minutes or more from the European business districts, with a GA terminal but long taxi times. Used mainly for widebody VIP charters and airline connections; Atatürk is the practical choice for business jets.
Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport LTFJ / SAW
Istanbul, Turkey · 9,843 ft runway · 45 min to centre
The Asian-side airport, 45 minutes from Kadıköy and Ataşehir's financial centre, with a GA terminal and competitive FBOs. Coordinated slots and a strong low-cost-airline presence; convenient for the Anatolian side and Bursa.
King Khalid International Airport OERK / RUH
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia · 13,796 ft runway · 35 min to centre
Riyadh's hub, 35 minutes north of the King Abdullah Financial District, with a dedicated private-aviation terminal and rapidly expanding FBO capacity under Vision 2030. Landing permits require sponsor letters and lead time; peak demand around Future Investment Initiative (October) and Riyadh Season. High-elevation, hot-day performance planning needed.
London City Airport EGLC / LCY
London, United Kingdom · 4,948 ft runway · 25 min to centre
Only minutes from Canary Wharf and the City; the Jet Centre offers a private terminal with direct ramp access. Aircraft must be steep-approach certified and crews trained; Saturday-afternoon closure and coordinated slots limit flexibility. Ideal for short-haul European hops when time matters most.
London Luton Airport EGGW / LTN
London Luton, United Kingdom · 7,093 ft runway · 60 min to centre
London's busiest business-aviation gateway by movements, with two large FBOs, 24-hour operations and no runway-length constraints. Ideal for north London, the M1 corridor and long-haul departures; slots are coordinated and airline peaks can add taxi delays. Roughly an hour into central London by road, or 25 minutes by helicopter.
London Stansted Airport EGSS / STN
London Luton, United Kingdom · 10,003 ft runway · 70 min to centre
The go-to airport for heavy and VVIP aircraft visiting London, with a 10,000 ft runway, 24-hour CIQ and dedicated private terminals. Sits north-east of London on the M11; convenient for Cambridge and East Anglia and a useful alternative when Luton or Farnborough are slot-constrained.
Los Angeles International Airport KLAX / LAX
Los Angeles, United States · 12,923 ft runway · 40 min to centre
Used by business aviation for widebody VIP charters, aircraft too large for Van Nuys and passengers connecting to long-haul flights; 40 minutes from Downtown and 20 from Santa Monica and Beverly Hills in light traffic. FBOs sit on the south-west (Imperial Terminal) side; taxi times are long and fees high.
Mexico City International Airport (Benito Juárez) MMMX / MEX
Mexico City, Mexico · 12,966 ft runway · 30 min to centre
Thirty minutes from Reforma and Polanco but saturated: GA slots are scarce, parking is often limited to a few hours and repositioning to Toluca is standard. Retains a general-aviation terminal with CIQ for the flights that get in.
Miami International Airport KMIA / MIA
Miami, United States · 13,016 ft runway · 20 min to centre
Latin America's gateway hub, 20 minutes from Brickell, with a large Signature FBO on the north-west side and CBP for GA. Chosen for widebody VIP charters and airline connections; taxi and ramp delays are common, so Opa-locka or Fort Lauderdale Executive are usually preferred.
Milan Linate Airport LIML / LIN
Milan, Italy · 8,012 ft runway · 20 min to centre
Milan's city airport and Italy's busiest business-aviation gateway, with the Milano Prime terminal 20 minutes from the Duomo and the fashion district. Slots are coordinated and the night ban is strict; parking fills fast during Fashion Week, Salone del Mobile and the Monza Grand Prix.
