Why Charter from Atlanta?
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International is the world’s busiest commercial airport by passenger volume and consistently ranks among the worst for delays. The metro’s concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, CNN and media operations, and a thriving film production industry creates constant executive travel demand that commercial schedules cannot accommodate. Private charter from PDK or FTY eliminates the 90-minute average commercial airport experience.

Light jets cover Atlanta’s busiest regional routes effectively. The Phenom 300 and Citation CJ3+ serve Nashville, Charlotte, Jacksonville, and New Orleans runs, where sub-two-hour block times make light jets the cost-efficient choice.

Midsize jets — particularly the Citation XLS+, Challenger 350, and Hawker 800XP — are the workhorse aircraft for Atlanta’s Fortune 500 executive travel to New York, Chicago, Dallas, and Houston. Atlanta’s corporate travel volume ensures strong midsize jet availability at PDK and FTY.

Feathers Aviation sources these aircraft from certified operators maintaining them to the highest FAA standards.
