Private jets from California to Honolulu, Maui, Kona and Kauai, on long range aircraft with the range and over water equipment the Pacific crossing requires.
Local roots, global reach
Hawaii is the longest domestic trip we arrange, roughly five and a half to six hours from Southern California depending on winds. That rules out light and midsize jets. The route calls for a super-midsize at minimum, with a large cabin jet preferred for winter headwinds and full cabins. We source operators equipped for extended over water flying and, when runway length limits fuel at John Wayne, plan the departure from a longer runway nearby.
The right airport for your plans
Oahu’s main airport, with Castle & Cooke Aviation, Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation for private flights.
For Wailea, Kapalua and Lahaina, with Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation.
Kona for the Big Island resorts and Lihue for Kauai, both served by Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation. Aircraft parking at both requires advance approval, which we arrange.
Every arrival from the mainland completes the Hawaii agriculture declaration, and pets follow the state rabies quarantine rules, which take advance paperwork. Peak demand runs mid December through March, plus summer.
