- How many airports does SkyAccess cover?
- SkyAccess indexes every large and medium airport worldwide, plus every smaller field where certified partner operators have published empty leg or charter inventory — 6,500+ airports in total. Coverage skews heavily to the US, but includes major international airports across Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, and key gateways in Latin America and Asia.
- Can a private jet land at any airport?
- Almost. Private jets can use thousands of general-aviation airports in addition to commercial airports. The actual landing airport depends on aircraft category (heavier jets need longer runways), FBO availability, customs clearance for international flights, and noise / curfew restrictions at the airport. SkyAccess airport pages show the FAA airport class and longest runway length for each indexed airport.
- What's the difference between an IATA and an ICAO code?
- ICAO codes are 4-letter International Civil Aviation Organization identifiers used in flight planning and ATC (e.g. KJFK, KTEB, EGLL). IATA codes are 3-letter International Air Transport Association identifiers used in commercial booking and consumer-facing tools (e.g. JFK, TEB, LHR). Most major airports have both; smaller GA airports often have only an ICAO code.
- Do private jets fly out of commercial airport terminals?
- No. Private jets arrive at and depart from Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) terminals — a separate private aviation facility at the airport. Major US airports have multiple FBOs (Signature, Jet Aviation, Atlantic, Million Air); the operator picks which FBO based on fuel contracts and slot allocation. Passengers don't go through TSA at the FBO — the FBO handles its own security clearance.
