Departure Airports We Use

St. Louis has two well-positioned private aviation departure points that allow us to move you quickly, whether you are based in the western Missouri suburbs, the city itself, or the communities across the Mississippi River in Illinois.

• Spirit of St. Louis Airport (SUS) — Located in Chesterfield, 20 miles west of downtown St. Louis, SUS is the primary general aviation airport serving the metro and one of the busiest general aviation facilities in the Midwest. With full FBO services, dedicated ramp access, and no commercial traffic, it is the most practical private charter departure point for the majority of clients in the St. Louis area, particularly those based in the western suburbs of St. Louis County and St. Charles County.
• St. Louis Downtown Airport (CPS) — Situated directly across the Mississippi River in Cahokia, Illinois, 4 miles southeast of the Gateway Arch, CPS is a general aviation airport with full FBO services and a location that makes it the most convenient departure option for clients based in the city itself, the south side, and the Illinois communities of Metro East including Belleville, O'Fallon, and Collinsville.

Why Private Charter Over Commercial From St. Louis

St. Louis Lambert International Airport has seen a significant reduction in commercial service since the departure of its former hub carrier, leaving the city with a mid-size commercial schedule that offers limited frequency on many routes. When a cancellation occurs at STL, the next available seat on the same route is often not until the following day, and connections through Chicago or Dallas can add hours of uncertainty to an already difficult situation. St. Louis also sits in the heart of severe weather territory, with tornado outbreaks, ice storms, and spring flooding events all capable of disrupting commercial operations without warning. Private departure from Spirit of St. Louis or Downtown Airport gives you a direct and dependable path out when the commercial schedule fails.

Flying private from St. Louis 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
