TOP PRIVATE FLIGHT AIRPORTS IN THE US

One of the perks of private travel is that you are not always stuck flying into the busiest, crowdiest airports. Because private jets can land at smaller airports with shorter runways, private travelers have more flexibility and choices when it comes to the airports they want to travel to and from.

With that said, there are several commercial and private airports in the U.S. that private travelers tend to prefer. Some of the top private jet airports offer convenient access to some of the area's top attractions, while others offer respite from packed airport terminals.

To help you decide which terminals to travel through on your next private jet adventure, we have listed the top ten airports for private jet travel. Whether you are traveling to the Florida coast or the NY area, turn to these best private airports in the U.S.
