The Columbus Regional Airport Authority runs both main options: John Glenn International (CMH), the passenger hub, and Rickenbacker (LCK), a cargo-focused airport south of downtown that also handles general aviation. Both have 24-hour towers and customs landing rights.

In our order of preference for a private flight; routes on this page are priced from CMH. The airport changes the price, so ask about each. Each airport's page has its runways, customs and which jets fit. “Suits” is our rule of thumb from runway length and elevation: weight, temperature and the jet's own numbers decide it on the day.

Flying from Columbus

Picks from the numbers

Each card says how it was chosen. Estimates are one way, on the jet size each trip calls for.

Cost against time

Every route from Columbus, by cost and flight time

The bill is roughly hours times the rate, so cost climbs with time, and steps up where a trip needs a bigger jet. Minimums make the shortest hops cost more than their flight time.

One-way estimates for 213 routes from Columbus. Each dot is the middle of a route's range on the jet size it calls for. The gold line is CRAFT's super-midsize card at $12,950/hr (fuel and FET included), billed at least 2 hours a day: compare it with the super-midsize dots, not with smaller jets.

What else moves the bill (tax, minimums, peak days, repositioning) is on every route page under What the number leaves out.

Range

How far a private jet flies nonstop from Columbus

Practical ranges we assume: light 1,700 nm, midsize 2,000, super-midsize 3,000, large 4,000. Conservative on purpose; payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

Every route

Every private jet route from and to Columbus

One-way estimates by jet size, grouped by region, nearest first. Flight time is for the jet size each trip usually calls for; “nonstop in” is the smallest size that makes it without a stop; the clock is the time difference at the other end.

Columbus private jet charter: questions

How much does a private jet from Columbus cost?

About $7,000 to $9,000 one way to Chicago on a light jet; $13,000 to $16,500 one way to Boston on a light jet; $41,000 to $47,000 one way to Los Angeles on a midsize jet. Across all 213 destinations we price from Columbus, one-way estimates run from about $4,000 (Cleveland) to $104,000 (Anchorage). These are estimates from published jet card rates times the flight time, not quotes: minimums, peak days and airport fees change the final price.

How much is a 2-hour private jet flight from Columbus?

About $15,000 to $19,000 in a light jet, $19,000 to $21,000 in a midsize jet, $24,000 to $26,000 in a super-midsize jet, $29,000 to $33,000 in a large jet: two hours times the published hourly rates, before minimums. About two hours from Columbus: Nantucket, New Orleans and Orlando.

How much is a private jet from Columbus to Las Vegas?

About $37,000 to $42,000 one way on a midsize jet, 3 hours 55 minutes nonstop for 1,766 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

How much is a private jet from Columbus to Chicago?

About $7,000 to $9,000 one way on a light jet, 55 minutes nonstop for 282 miles. A round trip on different days is about twice that. An estimate from published rates, not a quote.

Where do private jets fly from in Columbus?

We price Columbus from CMH (John Glenn Columbus International Airport), then LCK (Rickenbacker International Airport), in our order of preference for a private flight. The airport changes the price and the drive, so ask about each when you book.

How far can a private jet fly nonstop from Columbus?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 175 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Los Cabos; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 202 of 213 destinations, the farthest being St Vincent; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 208 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Anchorage; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 213 of 213 destinations, the farthest being Kauai. Beyond that, plan a fuel stop. Payload, winds and runway length decide it on the day.

What's the lowest-cost way to fly private from Columbus?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 175 of these routes), avoid peak days, and compare one-way pricing with a round trip. A jet card fixes the hourly rate ahead of time; compare cards within one jet size. For a super-midsize jet, CRAFT's is $12,950 an hour on the 25-hour card, fuel and FET included, on a Challenger 350. Empty legs and shared flights exist, but they run on someone else's schedule. No estimate here is a guaranteed price.

Can I fly private from Columbus to Mexico or the Caribbean?

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (4h 20m, nonstop in a light jet), Nassau (2h 30m, nonstop in a light jet) and Tortola (4h 05m, nonstop in a light jet). An international flight clears customs at an airport of entry and everyone needs a passport. CRAFT's card rate covers the lower 48; Caribbean, Mexico and Canada trips add repositioning at $4,000 an hour plus handling.

Should I fly private into CMH or Rickenbacker?

Both are run by the Columbus Regional Airport Authority and have 24-hour towers and customs landing rights. CMH is the passenger hub; LCK is a cargo-focused airport south of downtown that also serves general aviation.

Can I clear customs on a private flight into Columbus?

Yes. CMH and LCK are both customs landing rights airports. Request landing rights from U.S. Customs in advance, weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 10 p.m.
