Private Jet Charter to Boston | The New England Gateway

Fly Private to Boston

Boston is one of the most established corporate aviation markets in New England, driven by the city's deep concentration of universities, hospitals, biotech firms, and family offices. For ParaFlight clients heading to Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the Financial District, or across the river to Cambridge, Hanscom Field (KBED) is the strong default. It bypasses the operational scale of Logan International and places you within a short drive of the city's most desirable addresses.

Hanscom sits in Bedford, northwest of the city, placing you approximately 25 to 35 minutes from Back Bay or downtown Boston by car, traffic depending. The FBOs at BED, including Signature Flight Support and Jet Aviation, are built for the corporate and academic community with private lounges, dedicated customs for international arrivals, and ramp-side vehicle access. For clients heading to the South Shore, Cape Cod, or onward to the Vineyard, Norwood Memorial (KOWD) is often the closer option.

Boston rewards travellers who arrive without commercial friction. From a suite at the Four Seasons One Dalton or the Mandarin Oriental, to a meeting on the Cambridge biotech corridor, dinner at Menton or Mooo, a Saturday afternoon at Fenway, and a Sunday onward to Nantucket or the Vineyard, the city's calendar runs on the kind of executive schedules that private charter is purpose-built for.

Why Boston?

• The Hanscom Field advantage: KBED is the preferred executive gateway for the Boston metro. Approximately 25 to 35 minutes from Back Bay, full international customs, and FBO lounges built for the city's corporate, academic, and life sciences community.
• A natural hub for transatlantic travel: Boston pairs seamlessly with onward charter to London, Paris, Geneva, and the wider European market. ParaFlight builds Heavy Jet itineraries to Europe as a single coordinated booking.
• Direct access to Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and the Cape: From BED or OWD, onward Light Jet or Turbo Prop connections to ACK, MVY, and Hyannis are easily coordinated as multi-leg bookings, particularly during summer.
• A serious academic and life sciences base: With Harvard, MIT, the major teaching hospitals, and the Cambridge biotech corridor, Boston operates on the kind of executive and research schedules that private charter exists to support.
• Year-round access despite New England weather: Hanscom and Norwood operate at a high standard year-round with full IFR and de-icing capability through winter scheduling.

Arrive in Style

For most ParaFlight clients, Hanscom Field is the default arrival point in Boston. The airport is one of the most established executive aviation facilities in New England, and the FBO experience reflects that. Signature Flight Support and Jet Aviation each operate private arrival lounges with dedicated U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities for international arrivals, and ramp-side vehicle access. Your car, whether a black SUV, Cadillac Escalade, or Mercedes S-Class, meets you within metres of the aircraft steps.

From Hanscom, the drive into Back Bay or downtown Boston runs approximately 25 to 35 minutes via Route 2 and I-95. Cambridge and the Harvard or MIT campuses are approximately 20 to 30 minutes. For clients continuing onward to Nantucket or the Vineyard, the FBO ramp transfer at BED is typically 5 to 10 minutes onto a smaller Light Jet or Turbo Prop. ParaFlight arranges chauffeured ground transport, executive Sprinters for groups, and security details on request.

Suggested Aircraft

For charter to Boston, ParaFlight typically recommends Light and Midsize Jets for shorter Northeast and Mid-Atlantic routes, and Super Midsize or Heavy Jets for transcontinental, Caribbean, and transatlantic arrivals. Hanscom Field accommodates aircraft up to and including the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7500, so cabin class is unrestricted. For onward connections to Nantucket, the Vineyard, or smaller New England airfields, Light Jets or Turbo Props are typically preferred. Our team will match the right aircraft to your itinerary.
