**We arrange private jet charters to Aspen.** You tell us the trip; we request quotes from **FAA-certificated Part 135 operators**, compare aircraft that actually fit Aspen (**95-foot wingspan limit**, a **7,820-foot** airfield, a curfew), and book the one you choose. Then we handle the ground: **car at the FBO, the house ready, dinner booked**.

Airport rules from Aspen/Pitkin County Airport and Pitkin County Code; FBO details from Atlantic Aviation; checked October 2026. Flight times are our estimates from great-circle distance, not an operator's schedule.

## Booking a jet with us

- **1. Tell us the trip**: Dates, departure airport, passengers, luggage and skis, pets, and anything that matters on board.
- **2. We bring back options**: Quotes from FAA-certificated Part 135 operators, with the aircraft, the operator's name and the all-in price, checked against Aspen's limits and the season.
- **3. You choose, we book**: You approve one quote; we confirm it with the operator and send you the charter agreement.
- **4. Aspen, handled**: Car at the FBO, the house stocked and warm, catering on board, the first dinner booked. If the flight diverts to Rifle or Eagle, the ground moves with it.

## The aircraft question

- **Wingspan**: Maximum 95 feet under Pitkin County Code. That rules out a Gulfstream G650 (about 99 ft) and a Global 7500 (about 104 ft); light, midsize, super-midsize and many large-cabin jets fit.
- **Hours**: Arrivals 7 a.m.–11 p.m., departures until 10:30 p.m.; no night flying outside those hours.
- **Altitude**: Aspen sits at 7,820 feet; performance on departure, not arrival, is usually what limits load.
- **Landing fee**: $13.76 per 1,000 lb of maximum takeoff weight for general aviation (for example about $564 for a 41,000 lb super-midsize).

## Before you book

- **Holiday ramp space**: Atlantic Aviation expects extra ramp compression November 25–29, 2026 and December 24, 2026 to January 3, 2027; book early for those dates. [The Aspen FBO](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-fbo/).
- **International arrivals**: Aspen has no customs facility: flights from abroad clear US Customs first, for example at Eagle County, then continue to Aspen.
- **The 2027 closure**: Aspen's airport is closed April 4 to November 19, 2027; flights use Eagle or Rifle instead. [Private jets during the closure](https://aspenprive.com/private-jet-aspen-2027/).
- **Weather**: Winter diversions to Rifle, Eagle or Grand Junction are routine enough to plan for; we keep the car flexible.
