Dallas
Charter Routes
Fourteen sectors from our home base. The choice at the Dallas end is which of the five fields puts you closest to where you are starting; the choice at the far end is the aircraft that fits the distance, the runway and the customs stop.

Charter routes
Where can you fly privately from Dallas?
Dallas is where Icarus Jet started and where the desk still sits, ten minutes from Love Field. Five airports serve the Metroplex: Love Field for downtown and most departures, Addison for north Dallas with FBOs open around the clock, Dallas Executive for the quietest ramp, DFW only when a scheduled connection demands it, and Arlington for Fort Worth. The first decision on every trip is the field, and the desk makes it for the address rather than the habit. What flies from here falls into four kinds of sector: the Texas hops, the coast-to-coast business days, the mountain season into Aspen, and the international runs to Mexico and Costa Rica with customs at both ends. The fourteen routes below are the ones the desk quotes most, and each opens to its own guide with the flight time, the distance, the aircraft that fit and the airports at both ends.
Airport and airspace facts across these routes are checked against the FAA aeronautical information publications and Icarus Jet operations data.
Flying from Dallas
What the Dallas desk knows
Where the business goes
Uptown and Downtown Dallas, Las Colinas, Legacy West in Plano and the Frisco corporate corridor, with finance, technology, healthcare, energy and the sports franchises behind most of the demand. The desk picks the field for the address: Love Field for downtown, Addison for the north, Dallas Executive for the south, DFW when an airline connection is involved.
The sectors the desk flies most
Los Angeles into Burbank, New York into Teterboro, Las Vegas into Henderson, Miami into Opa-locka, Houston into Hobby, and the short Texas hops to Austin, San Antonio and Midland. Denver, Cabo, Cancun and Nassau follow in season.
Aircraft by sector
Light jets such as the Citation CJ2 or Phenom 100 on the regional sectors to Houston and Austin; midsize and super midsize types such as the Citation XLS+ or Challenger 350 to New York and the coasts, where speed and cabin balance; long range aircraft such as the Gulfstream G450 or Falcon 900 when the trip leaves the continent. Every quote itemises flight time, landing fees and crew overnights.
San Antonio
The desk serves San Antonio from San Antonio International, KSAT, and Stinson Municipal, KSSF, with Kelly Field, KSKF, and Randolph, KRND, as the military fields nearby. Light jets cover Texas and the near states economically, a super midsize puts both coasts in range nonstop, and the Dallas to San Antonio sector itself is about 45 minutes on a turboprop.
Grand Prairie Municipal, KGPM
Between Dallas and Fort Worth, a 4,001 foot concrete runway at 588 feet elevation with Jet A and AVGAS, two FBOs and two flight schools, and no airline traffic. It takes light jets comfortably and midsize types with a performance check, and it is the quiet field for Arlington and the stadium district when Arlington Municipal is busy.
Empty legs and short notice
Dallas is a base, so aircraft reposition through it constantly and empty legs on the Texas, coastal and Mexico sectors come up every week. The desk holds them for clients with flexible dates, and a same day departure is routine on the domestic sectors when an aircraft is on the ramp.
Airport guides
The airports behind the Dallas routes
The fields these sectors leave from and land at, with runways, slots, permits and handling on their own guides, written by the desk that files the paperwork.

Questions
Dallas charter route questions
Which Dallas airport do private flights use?
Love Field for downtown, Addison for north Dallas, Dallas Executive for the south and the cheapest ramp, DFW when you are connecting from an airline, Arlington for Fort Worth and the stadium. The desk picks the field for the address.
How long are the Dallas sectors?
From about 45 minutes to Houston to about 3 hours 30 to Costa Rica. Teterboro, Washington, Miami, Los Angeles and Aspen are all two to three hours; Cancun and Cabo about two and a half.
Which aircraft fly from Dallas?
Turboprops and light jets on the Texas sectors, light and midsize jets to the coasts and the mountains, midsize and super-midsize to Mexico and Costa Rica. Every route page names the classes that fit.
Do the Mexico and Costa Rica routes need permits?
Yes. A Mexican permit through AFAC, filed about ten days ahead, and a Costa Rican permit for San Jose and Guanacaste. Customs is cleared at the aircraft at both ends and the desk files the paperwork with the trip.
Can I clear customs at Aspen?
No. Aspen has no customs facility, so an international arrival clears at Eagle or Denver first. From Dallas it is a domestic sector and the question does not arise.
Why does Aspen limit the aircraft?
Altitude, a short runway and a curfew. The desk quotes the type against the field on the day, and when Aspen is full or closed the traffic moves to Rifle, Montrose or Centennial.
Is a Dallas to Houston flight worth chartering?
For a group of four or more with a day that starts in one city and ends in the other, often yes once the airline hours are counted. A turboprop does it in about 45 minutes and the desk will say when the road is the better plan.
Can I do a Dallas day trip and come home the same night?
Yes on every US sector. An early departure from Love Field is in a New York, Washington or Miami meeting before lunch, and the aircraft waits to bring you home.
How much notice does a Dallas sector need?
A few days for the domestic sectors, ten days for Mexico because of the permit, and firm dates weeks ahead for Aspen in the ski season, the Christmas weeks and the big game weekends.
Can I fly the reverse direction?
Yes. Every route page covers both directions, and the desk quotes the return sector the same way. An aircraft already positioned in New York, Aspen, Miami or Cabo often makes the inbound leg the cheaper one, so give the desk both dates together and it prices the pair rather than two separate one-way flights.
