Why Charter from Orlando?
Orlando International is consistently one of the five busiest US airports by passenger volume, driven almost entirely by theme park tourism and convention traffic. The convention center corridor, Universal and Disney corporate operations, and a growing Lake Nona and Tavistock technology and medical city create executive travel demand completely distinct from the tourism market.

Aircraft Available from Orlando
Light jets dominate Orlando’s regional charter traffic. Miami, Tampa, and Atlanta are Phenom 300 missions, and the entertainment and convention industry creates constant light jet demand for executives who need to be in New York or Charlotte and back within the day.
Midsize jets carry Orlando’s longer domestic charter routes — New York, Chicago, Boston, and Dallas connections for tech park and convention center clients who need more than light jet range and comfort.
For long-haul domestic and international missions from Orlando, heavy jets provide the right combination of range and cabin amenity. The Gulfstream G450, Bombardier Global 6000, and Dassault Falcon 7X offer nonstop coast-to-coast range and transatlantic capability. Feathers Aviation sources these aircraft from certified operators maintaining them to the highest FAA standards.
