Airports, aircraft, pricing, and everything you need to know about arriving at Walt Disney World, and Universal Orlando, the way it was meant to be done | updated for 2026


Disney Airplane

This blog post is an overview of private aviation options to Orlando area airports.


Orlando is one of the most-visited private aviation destinations in the United States.

In 2024, Orlando-area airports handled over 150,000 private jet operations; a 15% year-over-year increase. The families flying to Walt Disney World. The executives heading to the convention centre. The sports teams, the entertainers, the honeymooners who decided the Disney experience should begin the moment they leave home. All of them understanding the same fundamental truth: the journey is part of the trip, and arriving in Orlando on your own terms, on your schedule, in your own cabin, and stepping directly into a car to your resort is a fundamentally different way to begin a Walt Disney World vacation.


Flying private to Orlando saves 2–4 hours door-to-door compared with commercial first class, with direct access to airports closest to Disney World and downtown Orlando. Travelers can arrive at a private terminal just 15–30 minutes before departure, bypassing commercial security lines and baggage claim entirely.


This guide covers everything you need to know about flying private to Orlando in 2026 and beyond, which airports to use and why, the aircraft categories and what they cost from every major US hub, the charter companies and booking approaches, and the practical tips that make the difference between an average private aviation experience and an extraordinary one.


The Orlando Airports: Which One Is Right for Your Trip?


There are more than 30 airports within 50 miles of the city which means the first decision in any private Orlando trip is knowing which airport to arrive at. The right choice depends on where you are staying, how many passengers you are flying with, and the size of aircraft you are using.


Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ISM)  Best for Walt Disney World


Distance to Walt Disney World: 12–15 miles southwest approximately 15–20 minutes by car Distance to Universal Orlando: 20 miles approximately 25 minutes


ISM offers 12–15 minute transfers to EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. Kissimmee Gateway Airport is, for families and leisure travelers heading to Walt Disney World specifically, the single most convenient private aviation option in the Orlando area.


Orlando's three main airports are all relatively close to Disney, but the most convenient option for charter flyers visiting the park is Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ISM).


Kissimmee Gateway Airport is a general aviation airport; it handles no commercial traffic, which means the entire airport experience is private. Four full-service FBOs are found at this airport: Atlantic Aviation, KAZ Aviation, Kissimmee Aviation Services, and Signature Flight Support. These Fixed Base Operators provide the full private terminal experience: ramp-side vehicle access, private lounges, gourmet catering services, and ground transportation directly to your resort.


The airport is well-suited to light, midsize, and super-midsize jets. Very large cabin jets and some ultra-long-range aircraft may be better suited to MCO due to runway requirements always confirm with your charter operator.


Best for: Families going to Walt Disney World, Animal Kingdom Lodge, or the Kissimmee/Celebration area. Any trip where Disney resort proximity is the primary priority.

FBOs: Atlantic Aviation, Signature Flight Support, KAZ Aviation, Kissimmee Aviation Services


Orlando Executive Airport (ORL)  Best Overall Private Aviation Experience


Distance to Walt Disney World: 20 miles east approximately 25–30 minutes

Distance to Universal Orlando: 12 miles approximately 15 minutes

Distance to Downtown Orlando: 3 miles


Orlando Executive Airport (ORL) is a premier option for private jet travel, located just 5 km east of downtown Orlando. ORL is specifically designed for general aviation and private jet operations, offering a more private and less congested environment compared to MCO. The airport is home to several FBOs that provide luxurious facilities, including spacious lounges, conference rooms, and concierge services.


Most private jet travelers and business executives prefer Orlando Executive for its proximity to the city centre and efficient FBO facilities. Orlando Executive is the preferred private aviation airport for most regular private jet travelers to the Orlando area a dedicated general aviation facility with excellent infrastructure, minimal commercial traffic, and the full-service FBO experience that private aviation clients expect.


A private jet charter into Orlando Executive (ORL) or Kissimmee Gateway (ISM) can cut 2–3 hours versus flying commercial into MCO, especially during peak holiday seasons. The elimination of commercial airport congestion security lines, baggage claim, terminal navigation is at its most dramatic at ORL and ISM compared to MCO.


Best for: Universal Orlando guests, downtown Orlando visitors, business travelers, and families for whom the slightly longer Disney transfer is an acceptable trade-off for the superior private aviation facilities.

FBOs: Sheltair Aviation (primary FBO), Dolphin Aviation


Orlando International Airport (MCO)


Distance to Walt Disney World: 25 miles approximately 30–40 minutes

Distance to Universal Orlando: 12 miles approximately 15–20 minutes


Orlando International Airport is open 24 hours a day every day. It is located 6 miles southeast of downtown Orlando. Orlando International Airport offers world-class amenities to cater to the needs of elite private jet travelers. These include convenient lounges, great catering services, access to ramp-side parking and ground transportation.


MCO is Florida's busiest airport and the second busiest in the state primarily a commercial aviation hub, but one that also handles private jet operations through two dedicated FBOs. Two FBOs offer premier aviation services at MCO Galaxy Aviation and Signature Flight Services. Both offer high-quality amenities such as hangar space, aircraft detailing and maintenance, limo services and ramp-side parking, conference rooms and catering.


MCO makes the most sense in specific circumstances. You may be meeting with another party that flew commercial. You may prefer airports with more people and shopping and dining options. For families with complex luggage needs or guests arriving on international itineraries that connect through commercial airlines, MCO's commercial airport infrastructure can be advantageous.


For pure private aviation arriving directly for Walt Disney World or Universal, however, ORL and ISM are almost always preferable.


Best for: Connecting commercial-to-private itineraries, international arrivals, groups with complex logistics, or guests staying in the MCO corridor.

FBOs: Galaxy Aviation, Signature Flight Support


Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB)


Distance to Walt Disney World: 35 miles north approximately 45 minutes

Distance to Universal Orlando: 30 miles north approximately 35–40 minutes


Orlando Sanford International, 27 miles north, caters to Northeast routes with lower fees perfect for golfers heading to Reunion Resort or visitors to Kennedy Space Center on the Space Coast.


Sanford is the furthest of the four main private aviation options from the major theme parks but offers lower landing fees and a quieter, more relaxed FBO environment than MCO. For guests staying in the Sanford or Lake Mary area, or those whose primary destination is northeast of Orlando, it is a practical option worth considering.


Best for: Golf trips to North Orlando, Kennedy Space Center visits, guests staying in the Sanford/Lake Mary corridor.


Aircraft Categories: Choosing the Right Aircraft for Your Route


The cost of renting a private jet to or from Orlando will depend on which aircraft you choose, how far you need to travel, and how long you need to stay before you return. Understanding the aircraft categories and which is right for each route is the essential foundation of planning a private Orlando trip.


Turboprops

Turboprops start at $3,500/hr.


Turboprops primarily the Pilatus PC-12, King Air 350, and similar are single or twin turbine-engine aircraft seating 6–9 passengers. They are the most economical private aviation option for short and regional routes and perform well into smaller airports that jet aircraft cannot access. For routes of under 600 miles, a turboprop offers genuine private aviation advantages at a meaningfully lower price point than a light jet.


Best for: Florida intra-state routes (Miami–Orlando, Tampa–Orlando, Jacksonville–Orlando), short-haul Southeast routes (Atlanta–Orlando, Charlotte–Orlando, Nashville–Orlando).

Travel with confidence to Orlando in our fleet of Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. The Swiss-built Pilatus PC-12 features a pressurized cabin, air-conditioning, and comfortable seating for eight passengers with a full complement of luggage.


Light Jets

Average hourly charter costs for private flights to/from Orlando start at around $5,000–$6,000 for a light jet.


Light jets: the Citation CJ3+, Phenom 300, Learjet 75, and similar seat 6–8 passengers and are the workhorse of the private charter industry for regional and medium-range routes.


They offer a genuine cabin experience (standing headroom in most configurations, enclosed lavatory, full luggage capacity) at a price point significantly below midsize aircraft.

Light jets are excellent for routes of up to approximately 1,500 miles covering the entire East Coast, Midwest, and Gulf Coast corridor to Orlando comfortably.


Best for: New York–Orlando (non-stop), Washington DC–Orlando, Boston–Orlando, Chicago–Orlando, Atlanta–Orlando (step up from turboprop), Dallas–Orlando.


Midsize Jets

Average hourly charter costs start at $7,000–$9,000 for a midsize jet.


Midsize jets: the Citation XLS+, Hawker 900XP, Learjet 60, and similar seat 7–9 passengers in a more generous cabin with stand-up headroom, a full lavatory, and improved range.


They can comfortably reach Orlando from anywhere east of the Rockies, and from some Mountain Time destinations, on a single fuel stop or non-stop.


Best for: New York–Orlando (premium experience), Chicago–Orlando, Dallas–Orlando, Houston–Orlando, Philadelphia–Orlando, Minneapolis–Orlando.


Super-Midsize Jets

Typical pricing ranges from $18,000–$26,000 for New York–Orlando on a super-midsize jet.


Super-midsize jets: the Citation X, Challenger 350, Gulfstream G200, and similar seat 8–10 passengers in a spacious stand-up cabin with full lavatory, in-flight entertainment, and the range to reach Orlando non-stop from any US destination. They are the premium option for leisure and business families who want the best cabin experience on a domestic route.


Best for: Any major US hub, non-stop. Particularly well-suited to Los Angeles–Orlando, Seattle–Orlando, Denver–Orlando, Phoenix–Orlando, and other long-range domestic routes.


Large Cabin / Long-Range Jets

Average hourly charter costs start at $10,000–$15,000 or more for a long-range jet.


Large cabin jets: the Gulfstream G550, Global 6000, Challenger 605, and similar seat 10–16 passengers in the most spacious and luxurious cabin available in private aviation. With intercontinental range, they are the natural choice for groups, for international itineraries that begin or continue from Orlando, and for families who want the most extraordinary in-flight experience.


Best for: Large groups, international itineraries, ultra-luxury requirements, and any route where the cabin experience is as important as the destination.


Route-by-Route Guide: Pricing and Aircraft from Every Major US Hub

The Private Aviation Experience: What to Expect


Departure

Arriving at a private FBO is immediately different from any commercial airport experience. There are no security queues. No baggage check. No boarding gates. Travelers can arrive at a private terminal just 15–30 minutes before departure, bypassing commercial security lines and baggage claim entirely.


You arrive at the FBO's private entrance, hand your luggage directly to the ground crew (who load it into the aircraft), settle into the comfortable FBO lounge, and when the aircraft is ready, walk directly to the ramp and board. The entire process from car to airborne is typically 20–30 minutes.


TSA screening does apply to Part 135 charter flights, though the process is conducted at the FBO and is far faster and more private than commercial security typically a few minutes with no queues.


In Flight

The cabin experience varies by aircraft category from the efficient, businesslike interior of a light jet to the stand-up, full-galley luxury of a large cabin aircraft. All private charter aircraft offer:

  • Full control over departure time and schedule flexibility

  • Private cabin for your group only no other passengers

  • The ability to make phone calls and work in complete privacy

  • Catering to any specification, pre-ordered through the FBO

  • Pet-friendly travel in most configurations (confirm with your charter operator)


Arrival

Landing at a private FBO at ISM, ORL, or another dedicated general aviation airport means no baggage claim your luggage is unloaded directly to the ramp while you disembark. Your ground transportation (car, SUV, or van) can be pre-arranged to meet you ramp-side. ISM offers 12–15 minute transfers to EPCOT and Animal Kingdom meaning the time from aircraft landing to Walt Disney World resort check-in can be under 30 minutes.


Catering and Special Requests

Private aviation offers catering to any specification from gourmet in-flight meals and a fully stocked bar to allergy-specific menus, children's snacks, and celebration setups for honeymoons or birthdays. We can arrange luxury concierge services such as ground transportation, gourmet in-flight catering, private yachts, and helicopter charters to complement your trip.


For families traveling with accessibility needs, private aviation is one of the most accommodating travel environments available the ability to board directly from a car, with no terminal navigation, no queuing, and full control over the cabin environment, removes many of the stressors that make commercial air travel difficult for guests with disabilities, sensory sensitivities, or complex medical needs.


Practical Tips for Flying Private to Orlando


Book early for peak Disney periods. Christmas-New Year, spring break, and major conventions warrant 7–14 day lead times. Spot-market jet charters, where prices can spike 40% during spring break or holidays, contrast with Jet Card programs that lock in predictable hourly rates. For holiday Disney trips, book your private charter at the same time you book your Disney resort.


Fly into ISM for the most convenient Disney transfer. For Walt Disney World trips specifically, Kissimmee Gateway Airport's 15–20 minute transfer to the resort is the most direct private aviation connection available. Always confirm aircraft suitability for ISM with your charter operator before booking.


Use a reputable charter broker with clear safety standards. The private aviation industry has many brokers of varying quality. Look for brokers that reference ARGUS Platinum or Wyvern Wingman-rated operators these represent the highest safety standards in the industry. Never book a charter where the operator's safety credentials are unclear or unavailable.


Consider the ground transport. Private aviation's time savings are maximized when ground transport is seamlessly pre-arranged. A Suburban or Sprinter van meeting you ramp-side at ISM for the 15-minute drive to your Disney resort completes the seamless experience. Our certified luxury travel advisors can coordinate the full ground transport package.


Factor in the full cost and the full value. Private aviation appears expensive in isolation. Assessed against the total value: the time saved, the stress eliminated, the experience quality, the control over departure time, the seamless arrival at Walt Disney World the comparison with commercial first class narrows considerably for a family of four or more, particularly on peak holiday weekends when commercial airports are at their most chaotic.


Work with a specialist travel advisor. For Disney families combining a private aviation arrival with a luxury resort stay, Club Level accommodation, VIP tours, and premium dining a specialist travel advisor who coordinates both the private aviation and the Disney trip planning ensures that every element connects seamlessly. The aviation, the resort, the ground transport, the dining, the experiences all planned as a single, integrated journey.
