Departure Airports We Use

San Diego has two practical private aviation departure points that allow us to move you quickly, whether you are based in the city or the surrounding county.

• Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport (MYF) — Located in the Kearny Mesa neighbourhood, about 10 miles north of downtown San Diego, MYF is a dedicated general aviation airport with no commercial traffic, fast ramp access, and FBO facilities suited to same-day private charter departures.
• San Diego International Airport (SAN) — Located just 3 miles northwest of downtown, SAN handles both commercial and private operations and is the primary departure point for longer routes where heavy jet access or international handling is required.

Why Private Charter Over Commercial From San Diego

San Diego International Airport is one of the busiest single-runway commercial airports in the United States, operating at or near capacity for much of the day. Its constrained layout and high traffic volume mean that delays compound quickly, and when disruptions occur, rebooking options are limited. For travellers who need to depart today, waiting in a commercial rebooking queue at SAN is rarely a viable option.

Flying private from San Diego means:

• No commercial terminals or TSA queues
• No rebooking or waitlists
• Direct access to your aircraft on arrival
• Departure on your schedule, not the airline's
