Leesburg Executive Airport (KJYO)

Leesburg Executive Airport (KJYO) sits in Leesburg, Virginia, 30 miles west of downtown DC in Loudoun County. It is a dedicated business-aviation and general-aviation airport with no scheduled commercial service. For the DC metro, KJYO is one of the principal charter alternatives to KIAD and KDCA, particularly favored by operators based in Loudoun County, the Dulles tech corridor, and the surrounding northern Virginia wine country.

Runway 17/35 is 5,500 feet, typically long enough for most midsize and super-midsize jets; ultra-long-range jets with maximum payloads sometimes plan around the runway length for international departures. ProJet Aviation is the FBO. The Special Air Traffic Rules around the DC metro (SFRA) apply to KJYO operations and add procedural complexity that brokers should brief crews on for arrivals and departures. Field elevation is 389 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are summer afternoon thunderstorms and the Loudoun County wine-country event circuit that drives demand. Ground time to downtown DC is 45–60 minutes via the Dulles Toll Road; Tysons Corner is 25–35; the Loudoun wine country is 10–25 minutes.
