Airport choices in the desert

Aircraft charter is one of the quickest and most convenient ways to travel. When chartering an aircraft, you can utilize over 5,000 airports available nationwide, compared to the only 500 airports used by airlines. These airports are commonly known as general aviation airports, private airports, regional airports or executive airports. Most communities have these smaller airports, which enable you to reduce your driving time to a larger airport.

The desert has three of these smaller airports; Palm Springs International Airport, Bermuda Dunes Airport and the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal.
