    Santa Barbara Municipal Airport

    Runway 6,052 ft · control tower · 8 mi from downtown, straight line

    Suits: By runway length: light to super-midsize jets; large-cabin jets depending on weight and weather.

    The City of Santa Barbara's airport has two FBOs and a control tower open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local. Non-based aircraft over 10,000 lb pay landing fees, and the airport publishes voluntary noise abatement procedures for jets and other aircraft.Sources: flysba.santabarbaraca.gov, flysba.santabarbaraca.gov

In our order of preference for a private flight; routes on this page are priced from SBA. 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.

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 Santa Barbara, 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 210 routes from Santa Barbara. 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.

Range

How far a private jet flies nonstop from Santa Barbara

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.

Where do private jets fly from in Santa Barbara?

We price Santa Barbara from SBA (Santa Barbara Municipal Airport). The airport changes the price and the drive, so ask about each when you book.

How far can a private jet fly nonstop from Santa Barbara?

By our conservative range assumptions, a light jet (about 1,700 nautical miles) reaches 95 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Destin; a midsize jet (about 2,000 nautical miles) reaches 131 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Daytona Beach; a super-midsize jet (about 3,000 nautical miles) reaches 194 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Punta Cana; a large jet (about 4,000 nautical miles) reaches 210 of 210 destinations, the farthest being Barbados. 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 Santa Barbara?

Fly the smallest jet that makes the trip nonstop (a light jet covers 95 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 Santa Barbara to Mexico or the Caribbean?

Yes. 64 of the routes on this page cross a border, including Los Cabos (2h 20m, nonstop in a light jet), Nassau (5h 35m, nonstop in a super-midsize jet) and Tortola (7h 10m, nonstop in a large 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.

Can private jets fly into Santa Barbara Airport?

Yes. SBA has two FBOs and a control tower open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. local. Non-based aircraft over 10,000 lb pay a landing fee.

Does Santa Barbara have noise rules for private jets?

SBA publishes voluntary noise abatement procedures and asks all pilots to follow them when conditions allow. They are flight path procedures, not a curfew.
