Event travel
Premieres, panels, and deals move fast in Park City each January. Fly private with Private JetOne and arrive on your schedule, skip the commercial crush at Salt Lake City, and leave the moment your last screening wraps.
Why charter
For one week each January, the Sundance Film Festival turns Park City, Utah into one of the most film-dense towns on the planet. Salt Lake City International (SLC) sees a surge of inbound private and commercial traffic, mountain weather can stack up delays, and Main Street fills with shuttle and rideshare congestion. Chartering puts you back in control of a schedule that the festival otherwise dictates.
Airports and FBOs
Park City has no commercial airport of its own, so charter clients choose between the region's two primary options. Each has trade-offs in ramp capacity, drive time, and winter operating constraints.
The region's main gateway and the most flexible choice. SLC offers full-service FBOs, fuel, de-icing, and capacity for everything from light jets to heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft. Expect a 35 to 45 minute transfer to Park City. During the festival, request ramp and ground-handling slots early, since they fill quickly.
The closest option to town at roughly 20 minutes, popular for its convenience and lower-key arrivals. HCR has a shorter runway and limited ramp space, so capacity is tight during peak festival days and larger or longer-range aircraft may be better routed to SLC. We confirm suitability for your tail and timing before booking.
When SLC and HCR ramp space is constrained, Provo Municipal (PVU) and other Wasatch-area fields can serve as overflow or repositioning options. Drive times run longer, but an alternate can preserve your preferred departure window when primary FBOs are saturated during the busiest days.
Aircraft
The right aircraft depends on group size, departure city, and how much luggage, ski, or production gear is coming along. From coastal hubs like New York and Los Angeles, range matters as much as cabin size.
Ideal for two to six passengers on shorter regional hops. Efficient and quick to position, a strong fit for small parties traveling from the West or for a fast in-and-out trip.
Six to nine passengers with a stand-up cabin, more baggage room, and the range to reach Utah comfortably from much of the country, including transcontinental legs with the right tail.
Best for larger groups, full production teams, or nonstop coast-to-coast travel from New York or beyond, with the cabin comfort and luggage capacity a longer winter flight calls for.
Charter cost reflects the aircraft category, distance flown, repositioning, crew duty time, and any overnight or de-icing requirements during winter operations. Festival-week demand and FBO availability also factor in. We quote a clear range for your specific route rather than a generic figure, with no hidden membership.
FAQ
The details travelers ask about most before booking a private flight to Park City.
Most charters arrive at Salt Lake City International (SLC), about a 35 to 45 minute drive from Park City, or at Heber Valley Airport (HCR), roughly 20 minutes from town. SLC offers the most aircraft and FBO flexibility, while HCR puts you closest to the festival but has limited ramp space that fills quickly during the festival window each January.
Book as early as you can, ideally six to ten weeks out. The festival runs each January and FBO ramp space, ground handling slots, and the most popular aircraft sell out fast. The earlier you confirm, the better your odds of securing your preferred airport, departure window, and cabin size.
It depends on group size and distance. Light jets suit two to six passengers on short hops, midsize and super-midsize jets carry six to nine with more cabin space and range, and heavy jets are ideal for larger parties or transcontinental flights from coasts such as New York or Los Angeles. We match the aircraft to your route, luggage, and ski or production gear.
Yes. We coordinate SUVs and chauffeured transfers from SLC or HCR to your Park City lodging, accounting for winter road conditions and festival traffic on Main Street. Just tell us your arrival timing and party size and we handle the rest, available 24/7.
Charter gives you schedule control during one of the busiest weeks at SLC. You skip crowded terminals, avoid weather-driven cancellations stacking up, and depart on your own timing, including leaving right after a premiere or panel. With Private JetOne there are no membership fees, and our team manages slots, FBO coordination, and ground transfers end to end.
