With its business amenities, close proximity to San Francisco, and modern style, it's no wonder that San Francisco International Airport is one of the top 10 airports for charter flights nationwide. San Francisco International Airport is located 18 miles south of Downtown San Francisco, in unincorporated San Mateo County on the edge of the San Francisco Bay. This airport is the most convenient for charter flight travelers doing business in the San Francisco Bay Area, as the airport is directly connected to U.S. Route 101, Interstate 380, and the BART system.
San Francisco International Airport was first opened on 150 acres of cow pasture leased from prominent local landowner Ogden L. Mills, (who in turn had leased it from his grandfather Darius O. Mills) and was named Mills Field Municipal Airport. From the 1930s on, the airport now known as San Francisco International has been the airport of choice for the jet set in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since the opening of the central terminal in 1954, the airfield has grown to become a major airport for both commercial aviation and for private jet charter flights.
Culturally, the airport is much more than one would expect. Jazz performances, a library, the San Francisco Airport Museums (accredited by the American Association of Museums in 1999) and beautiful and creative architecture make SFO a gateway of choice for over 30 million passengers every year.

Over 120,000 commercial and corporate jet flights are served by
Dallas's Love Field every year, making it the the ninth most popular corporate jet airport in the US. From its humble origins as a military training facility, Love Field has evolved into a major airport for commercial and corporate jet charter flights into and out of Dallas.
Love Field features 3 runways and sits on 1300 acres of land. Originally designated on October 19, 1917 as a World War I military training base, Love Field now serves corporate jet charter customers traveling to the Downtown Convention Center, Infomart, West End, the Dallas Market Center, and all of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The Love Field Conference Center, which offers business services, conference rooms, and individual work desks, helps to make Love Field the perfect airport to cater to the many corporate jet travelers who pass through every year. In early 2009 a plan to modernize Love Field was announced. The $519 million master plan will replace the existing terminals with a new 20-gate concourse and expanded baggage facilities. This project is scheduled to open in 2014. The project also calls for a $250 million people mover system to connect to Love Field Station.
Combining historical relevance with modern amenities and a very convenient location, Love Field is the airport of choice for
corporate jet flights to and from Dallas, TX. Have your
corporate jet representative book your flight as well as ground transportation and lodging today!

- When looking for the best service and overall peace of mind for your next charter flight, try creating a relationship with a charter broker. Broker's are not biased on using aircraft in their fleet, mainly because they do not have a fleet. Brokers take all request from their clients to the open market where charter operators bid on the specific trip. This huge marketplace enables the broker to have visibility of all available aircraft and locate the perfect fit for your charter flight.
- Industry relationships are very important in the small community of private jet chartering. A charter flight broker normally has an established relationship with the highest rated and safest operators in the industry. The main focus of the broker should be to find the right aircraft that is operated by the best rated company. Most companies are rated by one of two firms, ARG/US or Wyvern/PASS. Both of these ratings provide a complete look into the safety record, insurance and pilot type ratings. These reports can be supplied to the client on every trip, be sure to ask your private jet charter broker for this information.
- Charter flights don't end with finding the right aircraft for the mission. There is catering, ground transportation and any number of special request, all of which a charter broker is able to arrange for the client. A broker can be looked at as your personal flight department. The professional manner in which most broker's conduct business is focused on one thing; provide their clients' service that is Beyond Safety...Luxury...Expectation.
