Landing in the Triangle, twenty minutes from everywhere

Raleigh-Durham International is the default, open around the clock with customs by prior arrangement, no weight limit and Research Triangle Park ten minutes from the ramp. Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford is the quieter field for Pinehurst, forty minutes from the first tee at No. 2 and the choice on a championship week. We choose the airport around the meeting, the campus or the course and the aircraft around the party, then hold the slot on the basketball nights and golf weekends that fill the ramp.

When Raleigh fills up

Raleigh's private traffic follows golf, college sport and the corporate calendar of the Research Triangle, and the ramp at Raleigh-Durham fills on a handful of weekends a year.

  1. April to May and October Golf at Pinehurst Spring and autumn are the seasons at Pinehurst No. 2, and a championship week there fills Raleigh-Durham and Sanford with light jets from the North East.
  2. November to March Duke, UNC and NC State basketball The Duke and North Carolina games are the busiest nights, with aircraft arriving from New York, Washington and Atlanta in the afternoon.
  3. Autumn Saturdays College football Home games at Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Durham bring a steady stream of light and midsize jets.
  4. Spring and autumn Research Triangle events Pharmaceutical and technology conferences, board meetings and campus events at the three universities keep Raleigh-Durham busy midweek.
  5. December The Christmas run Outbound to Florida, the Caribbean and the mountains peaks in the week before Christmas; the return on the first weekend of January fills the ramp.

On the ground in Raleigh

Passport details go to the handler before you land, the car is on the ramp at Raleigh-Durham, and the tee time at Pinehurst, the house or the courtside seats are arranged in the same conversation as the flight.

01

Immigration and customs

International arrivals clear US Customs and Border Protection at Raleigh-Durham International's general aviation facility by prior arrangement. ESTA or a visa is required for most nationalities; we confirm when we book.

02

Travelling with a pet

Pets travel in the cabin. Entering the US, a dog needs a microchip, a CDC import form and a rabies vaccination record from most countries; we arrange the paperwork with the handler.

03

The car

A chauffeured car meets the aircraft on the ramp at Raleigh-Durham International or whichever airport you land at, and the driver knows the private terminal, not the commercial one.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private jet to Raleigh cost?

It depends where you leave from. Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about $6,000 from Washington in a light jet, about $7,500 from Atlanta, about $8,500 from New York, about $14,000 from Dallas, and about $86,000 from London in a heavy jet non-stop. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.

Which airport should I use for a private jet to Raleigh?

Raleigh-Durham International for Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Research Triangle Park, twenty to twenty-five minutes from each, with customs by prior arrangement and no weight limit. Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford for Pinehurst and the south of the county, forty minutes from the course and quieter on the golf weekends. Both are described above with their drive times and handling agents.

Can I charter a jet to Raleigh the same day?

From the East Coast, usually yes: a light jet from Washington, New York or Atlanta can often depart within a few hours, and aircraft are based at Raleigh-Durham for the return. From London, twenty-four hours is the realistic minimum because of crew duty times and customs notice, though we have done it faster.

How long is a private jet flight to Raleigh?

About 55 minutes from Washington, about 1 hour 10 from Atlanta, about 1 hour 20 from New York, about 1 hour 50 from Miami, about 2 hours 30 from Dallas, and about 8 hours from London non-stop. Westbound flights across the Atlantic are longer than the return because of the jet stream.

How do immigration and customs work when I land in Raleigh?

International arrivals clear US Customs and Border Protection at Raleigh-Durham International's general aviation facility by prior arrangement; Raleigh Executive Jetport has no customs. ESTA or a visa is required for most nationalities; we confirm when we book and send passport details to the handler in advance.

When is Raleigh hardest to fly into?

A championship week at Pinehurst, the Duke and North Carolina basketball games between November and March, college football Saturdays in the autumn, the busiest conference weeks in the Research Triangle, and the fortnight before Christmas. On those dates Raleigh-Durham's parking goes first, so we book the slot with the flight and hold Sanford as the fallback.

Can I pay for the charter with crypto?

Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.

Where would you like to fly?

Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
