Runways
Which private jets can use PDK?
General guidance from the longest paved runway. We assume each size needs its typical full-weight takeoff length, lengthened 8% per 1,000 ft of elevation. Hot days, wet runways and the operator's own limits change it, so the operator confirms each flight.

DeKalb Peachtree Airport: questions
What FBOs are at DeKalb Peachtree Airport?
We don't list FBO names: the FAA's airport record doesn't include them, and directories that do aren't ours to republish. An FBO (fixed-base operator) is the private terminal: lounge, fuel, ramp, hangar and ground handling. On a charter, the operator chooses the FBO at PDK; ask us which one your flight uses and we'll tell you before you go.
Can a large private jet use PDK?
PDK's longest paved runway is 6,001 ft at 998 ft elevation. As general guidance, light jet, midsize jet and super-midsize jets usually fit; large jet and ultra-long-range jets often do with less fuel or fewer passengers. The FAA record also restricts aircraft over 75,000 lb (prior permission or weight certification), which can affect the heaviest long-range jets. Weather, weight and the operator's rules decide each flight.
Does PDK have customs for international private flights?
Yes. The FAA lists PDK as a U.S. Customs landing-rights airport (arrivals from abroad request clearance in advance). Hours and notice requirements vary, so the operator files ahead and the arrival is planned around them.
How far is PDK from Atlanta?
10 miles from Atlanta, straight line; roughly 15 to 30 minutes by car, depending on traffic. Other private jet airports for Atlanta: Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), 18 miles away.
Is there a curfew at PDK?
The FAA record notes a voluntary night curfew, 11 pm to 6 am local time, plus noise abatement procedures. Operators are asked to avoid those hours, so late departures are planned around it.

Estimated one-way costs from Atlanta: New York $15k–$18.5k (light jet), Miami $12.5k–$16k (light jet), Nashville $6k–$7.5k (light jet). These are estimates from published jet card rates, not quotes; the departure airport, date and repositioning change the number.
