Holiday Travel by Private Jet from Salt Lake City – What to Expect in Q4 2025

Salt Lake City is a holiday hotspot for private aviation in Q4 2025. As the gateway to world-class ski resorts and home to a thriving executive community, more travelers are taking to the skies in private jets to avoid the seasonal chaos of commercial travel.

Popular Holiday Charter Routes

  • Aspen, Telluride & Sun Valley: Ski destinations are top picks for Utah-based families and ski enthusiasts this season.
  • Phoenix & Scottsdale: Desert sun and holiday golf retreats attract snowbirds looking to relax and recharge.
  • Southern California: Los Angeles, San Diego, and Palm Springs remain holiday favorites for private flyers out of SLC.
  • Hawaii & Mexico: For those seeking tropical luxury, nonstop flights to Honolulu, Cabo, and Puerto Vallarta are on the rise.

Departure Airports & Private Terminals

Most private jet flights depart from Salt Lake City International Airport’s TAC Air and Atlantic Aviation FBOs. These facilities offer luxury lounges, fast-track boarding, concierge services, and holiday perks like valet parking and pet accommodations.

Aircraft Types in Demand

  • Light Jets: Pilatus PC-24s and Citation CJ4s are perfect for short-range ski charters.
  • Midsize Jets: Learjet 60s and Hawker 800s are commonly used for desert and coastal holiday destinations.
  • Heavy Jets: Gulfstream IVs and Challenger 650s are ideal for large families and cross-country holiday trips.

Trends to Watch in Q4 2025

Travelers are booking earlier this year—some even scheduling their Christmas and New Year’s flights by late October. One-way pricing on floating fleet aircraft is being used to save costs. More flyers are opting for pet-friendly jets, inflight catering, and ski equipment handling as standard amenities.

Why Private Jet Travel This Holiday?

Time savings, flexibility, and peace of mind are the key drivers. Private jet travel lets Salt Lake City flyers skip TSA lines, avoid weather delays, and reach holiday destinations faster and more comfortably. Whether escaping to snow-covered slopes or tropical islands, flying private ensures a seamless journey.
