Common Destination for Private Jets
Business aviation serves ten times the number of communities (more than 5,000 airports) served by commercial airlines (about 500 airports) This means business aviation can allow companies to locate plants or facilities in small towns or rural communities with little or no commercial airline service.
Let’s have a look at some of the most common and popular destinations that private jets land in, with some places you can only get to with a private jet.
Dubai
Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest airport on Earth, experiencing massive passenger growth in the past decade. As a result, it is also the most common destination airport for private air travel for those traveling to Dubai for business purposes.
London
London has always been a very popular destination to reach via private jet, and other flights to the UK are on the upswing. The British cities of Manchester and Birmingham have made it into several private aviation surveys of “top 10s” for the first time.
Nice, France
Nice, which lies at the heart of the French Riviera, has been a holiday destination for the rich, famous, and aristocratic since the 19th century. Also known as the capital of the Côte d’Azu, it is the jumping point for glitzy destinations like Monaco, Cannes, and St Tropez. The closest airport is Nice Cote d’Azur, which has a dedicated private terminal where affluent travelers can transit in luxury and privacy.
Norman’s Cay, The Bahamas
here are many places in the Caribbean that are great to reach by private jet, but Norman’s Cay is the only one that is only accessible via private jet. Once the headquarters of the Medellin Cartel, the famous drug smugglers from Colombia, today it is home to a super exclusive resort being developed by the Four Seasons owners in Miami.
Teterboro, New York City
Just 10 short miles from the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel into New York City, Teterboro is one of the world’s busiest private jet airports where celebrities often slip into NYC unnoticed. With five fixed-base operators (FBOs) that offers services for private jets including passenger handling, fueling, parking, maintenance and many more, its proximity to downtown NYC makes it an exclusive and popular spot for many discerning travelers.
Shanghai
One of the most bustling cities around the world, Shanghai is the cultural center in East China and a city that paves the way for innovation in the financial, tech and economic industry. With 2 main airports – Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport and Shanghai Pudong International Airport, both features a private terminal with FBO services for executive and luxury travelers, ideal for transpacific flights from around the world.
St. Moritz, Switzerland
The skiing paradise for the elite, it is famed for its luxurious private summer villas, luxury hotels and more.

Take in the fantastic views when landing into Samedan, one of Europe’s highest airport which sits at an altitude of almost 2000m.
