Boeing Field / King County International Airport (BFI)

Private Jet Charter From Boeing Field / King County International Airport

Boeing Field is the preferred private aviation gateway to Seattle, Bellevue, and the greater Puget Sound region. Located approximately 5 miles south of downtown Seattle, BFI handles a mix of cargo, corporate, and general aviation alongside Boeing's manufacturing and test flight operations, with no scheduled passenger service. For technology executives, venture capital travellers, and high net worth residents of Medina, Mercer Island, and the Eastside corridor, Boeing Field places clients within minutes of the city centre and the corporate campuses of Bellevue and Redmond, significantly closer than Sea-Tac.

For premium charter clients, Boeing Field offers two well-equipped fixed base operators, Signature Flight Support and Clay Lacy Aviation, providing private passenger lounges, planeside vehicle access, and complete separation from commercial airline traffic. The airport's long runway accommodates aircraft from light jets through to ultra-long-range equipment, supporting transcontinental, transpacific, and Alaska charter. Demand is strong year-round, driven by the Pacific Northwest technology sector, the Seattle financial community, and seasonal traffic to Sun Valley, the San Juan Islands, and British Columbia. ParaFlight coordinates aircraft, FBO arrangements, and chauffeured ground transport across the Seattle metro and the Eastside.
