Feathers Aviation arranges private charter flights Midland Odessa Texas for the energy industry executives, petroleum engineers, corporate teams, and investors who drive the Permian Basin economy. The Midland-Odessa metro is the epicenter of U.S. oil and gas production, and private aviation is deeply embedded in how business gets done here. Teams routinely fly in from Dallas, Houston, and Denver for field meetings, drill-site assessments, and boardroom sessions — and they need to arrive on their schedule, not the commercial airline’s.
Our operators hold ARGUS Platinum or Wyvern Wingman certification, and we source from a competitive market to find the right aircraft for your trip. Whether it’s a light jet for a two-passenger run from Dallas or a midsize aircraft for a larger team coming in from out of state, Feathers Aviation handles the coordination from first contact through wheels-down.

Why Charter to and from Midland/Odessa?
Midland International Air and Space Port handles commercial service, but the schedules are limited and the connections through Dallas or Houston add significant time to what should be short regional hops. Private charter removes that friction. A Dallas-based executive can be on the ground in Midland in under 75 minutes — door to gate — and back in Dallas for dinner. For Permian Basin operators with multiple assets requiring site visits across different locations in West Texas, a chartered aircraft is often the only realistic tool for a productive day.
Airports Serving Midland/Odessa
Midland International Air and Space Port (MAF) — The primary airport for the metro, MAF serves both commercial and private aviation. Signature Flight Support operates a full FBO with fuel, catering, crew facilities, and ground transportation. The airport is accessible from both Midland and Odessa and handles the majority of private traffic to the region.
Odessa-Schlemeyer Field (ODO) — Located on the west side of Odessa, Schlemeyer Field is a reliever airport that handles overflow GA traffic and is well-positioned for clients based on the Odessa side of the metro. Shorter taxi times and less congestion make it attractive for operators familiar with the local market.
Midland Airpark (MDD) — A smaller general aviation facility east of downtown Midland, useful for operators and clients who want a more private, low-traffic departure environment.

Aircraft Available for Midland/Odessa Charter
Turboprops — The King Air 350 and similar aircraft are common for short West Texas hops — Lubbock, Amarillo, El Paso — where a jet would be overbuilt and a turboprop gets the job done efficiently at lower cost.
Light Jets — The Phenom 300, Citation CJ3, and Learjet 75 cover the majority of Midland’s inbound and outbound routes. 1–5 passengers, fast turnarounds, and comfortable cabins for 60–90 minute flights.
Midsize Jets — For larger teams traveling from Houston, Denver, or the northeast, midsize jets like the Citation XLS or Hawker 800XP provide the cabin space and range needed without the operating cost of a heavy aircraft.
Frequently Asked Questions
How early do I need to book a charter to Midland/Odessa during busy Permian Basin periods?
The Permian Basin charter market is highly active, and during commodity price spikes or major industry events, aircraft can be scarce on short notice. We recommend booking 24–48 hours ahead when possible. Same-day availability exists but is not guaranteed during peak periods.
What does a Dallas to Midland charter cost?
A one-way light jet from Dallas Addison (ADS) to Midland (MAF) typically runs $6,500 to $12,000 depending on aircraft type, timing, and operator. We provide an itemized quote after reviewing current market availability for your dates.
Can Feathers Aviation handle recurring weekly charters to Midland?
Yes. For clients making regular runs to Midland — weekly field visits, monthly board meetings, or recurring investor tours — we can structure preferred arrangements that simplify the booking process and improve cost predictability. Contact our team to discuss recurring trip programs.
Is there overnight crew availability in Midland?
Yes. Midland’s active charter market supports crew overnight stays at local facilities. For trips requiring a crew stay, we account for crew expenses in the total quote upfront so there are no surprises.
Can you arrange charter flights to smaller West Texas locations like Pecos or Wink?
Many smaller West Texas airports can accommodate turboprops and light jets, including Pecos Municipal, Wink-Winkler County, and others. Runway length and services vary. We evaluate each location individually and recommend the right aircraft for the airstrip.
Do you work with energy company flight departments or only individual clients?
We work with both. Corporate flight departments that need supplemental lift during periods of high demand, owners who want independent brokering of charter options, and individual travelers all use Feathers Aviation. There’s no minimum commitment required.
