Private jet charter in San Francisco

The Bay Area is three markets rather than one, and the right field depends entirely on which of them you are going to. San Francisco itself is SFO; the Peninsula and Silicon Valley are frequently better served from San Jose, and the East Bay from Oakland.

The airport

San Francisco International Airport

The Bay Area is three markets rather than one, and the right field depends entirely on which of them you are going to. San Francisco itself is SFO; the Peninsula and Silicon Valley are frequently better served from San Jose, and the East Bay from Oakland.

  • SFO for the city; San Jose is genuinely closer for Menlo Park and Palo Alto
  • Oakland is the quieter ramp and often the faster turn
  • Transcontinental from the East Coast — a super-mid or heavy conversation

Worth knowing before you plan

San Carlos, which sits in the geographic middle of Peninsula demand, has a 2,600 ft runway and takes no jets. It gets suggested by people who have looked at a map rather than a runway chart. Tell us the destination address and we will name the field that actually saves you time.

Questions

Common questions

Which airport does private aviation use in San Francisco?

San Francisco International Airport (SFO / KSFO) is the primary field. San Jose Mineta (SJC) is also used — south bay and silicon valley; Oakland International (OAK) is also used — east bay, quieter ramp; Hayward Executive (HWD) is also used — east bay general aviation.

Can I charter a private jet from San Francisco without a membership?

Yes. On-demand charter requires no card, no membership and no commitment. The Velocity Jet Card is worth considering at around 25 hours a year, but it is never a prerequisite for chartering.
