What Should Charter Flyers Know About Atlanta's Private Jet Airports?

DeKalb-Peachtree (PDK), about 8 miles from downtown Atlanta, is the city's main business-jet airport with a 6,001 ft instrument runway, three FBOs (Signature Aviation, Aero Centers Atlanta and Atlantic Aviation) and a voluntary 11 pm to 6 am night curfew; Fulton County Executive (FTY) is the west-side alternative.

What are PDK's runway, FBOs and rules?

PDK's longest runway, 03R/21L, is 6,001 ft with an instrument landing system. DeKalb County lists Signature Aviation, Aero Centers Atlanta and Atlantic Aviation as FBOs and calls PDK Georgia's second-busiest airport. FAA remarks list a voluntary night curfew from 11 pm to 6 am and require prior permission for aircraft over 75,000 lb gross weight. Since April 1, 2026, landing fees are billed through Vector's PLANEPASS service. Source: nfdc.faa.gov, dekalbcountyga.gov.

What about Fulton County Executive (Brown Field)?

FTY is about 6 miles west of Atlanta with a single 5,797 ft runway; Fulton County lists Hill Aircraft and Signature Flight Support as FBOs. FAA calls it noise sensitive in all quadrants with no ramp run-ups. The county broke ground on an on-field customs facility on July 9, 2026; until it opens, customs agents travel from Hartsfield-Jackson for inbound international flights. Source: nfdc.faa.gov, fultoncountyga.gov, fultoncountyga.gov.

Can private jets use Hartsfield-Jackson?

Yes. ATL is about 7 miles south of Atlanta with a 12,390 ft longest runway, and Signature Aviation operates an FBO there with on-site customs and immigration clearance, which matters for international arrivals while FTY's customs facility is under construction. Source: signatureaviation.com, nfdc.faa.gov.

How do you check that a private jet charter is legal?

Charter must be flown by an operator certificated under FAA Part 135, which carries stricter pilot, maintenance and safety rules than private flying. The FAA publishes a weekly-updated list of Part 135 operators and authorized aircraft, searchable by operator or N-number, and advises asking to see the operator's certificate. Under DOT rule 14 CFR 295.24, a broker must name the carrier in operational control before you contract. Source: faa.gov, faa.gov, ecfr.gov.
