At Stratos Jets we strive to provide all the necessary information for today’s jet charter consumer to make the most informed choices. In this particular series we shine the spotlight on the top airports for jet charter throughout the United States. Our featured airport here is John Wayne Airport (SNA) of Orange County, CA.
John Wayne is the only commercial airport in Orange County, California, and is located in the city of Santa Ana. Near a business epicenter of the world which is Los Angeles and the entire Southern California region, and with some world-class attractions nearby, John Wayne is the airport of choice for many jet charter consumers traveling to the area. Business travelers heading to the four Fortune 500 companies as well as numerous other innovative start-up companies and Fortune 1000 companies that call Orange County home will find the convenience that SNA provides to be a good alternative to other airport options.
Orange County also contains some of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Disneyland Resort certainly stands atop the list, and along with Disney California Adventure Park, Knott’s Berry Farm, Soak City Water Park, Dana Point and the waves of Southern California beaches they attract millions of visitors to Orange County every year. John Wayne is situated just 14 miles from Disneyland Resort, in contrast to Los Angeles International Airport which is 35 miles away. One of the many convenient ground transportation options available at SNA is the Disneyland Resort Express, providing regular service from the airport to Disneyland Resort and Anaheim Resort Hotels.
However, flying jet charter to John Wayne Airport comes with a number of factors that must be well understood by your broker when booking your flight and scheduling your aircraft. The main runway, at just 5,701 feet, is the shortest of any major airport in the United States, limiting the size of the aircraft that can utilize it. Noise abatement rules are also quite stringent. The short runway coupled with those local noise restrictions can require takeoff at or near full power. Some aircraft may have engines fully spooled up on the runway, and then release the brakes once they have cycled to full power. Landings almost always include full flap extensions, and the use of full reverse thrust. Arrivals and departures are also prohibited from either 10:00 or 11:00 PM until 7:00 or 8:00 AM, specific times depending on the day of the week.
Other commercial airports with close proximity that are often used by those traveling private jet charter for business or pleasure include Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), LA/Ontario International Airport (ONT)and Long Beach Airport (LGB).
