Private Jet Charter to Savannah | The Lowcountry's Historic Gateway

Fly Private to Savannah

Savannah has matured into one of the most compelling private aviation destinations in the U.S. Southeast, anchored by the cultural draw of the Historic District, the Lowcountry resort corridor stretching south to Hilton Head and Palmetto Bluff, and the wider Golden Isles coastline beyond. For ParaFlight clients heading to the Historic District, Tybee Island, or onward to Palmetto Bluff, Hilton Head, and Sea Island, Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport (KSAV) is the strong default. The airport handles a steady flow of private charter movements alongside its commercial operations, with dedicated executive FBOs distinct from the commercial terminals.

Savannah-Hilton Head sits west of the city, placing you approximately 15 to 25 minutes from the Historic District and the city's major hotels by car, traffic depending. The FBOs at SAV, including Signature Flight Support and Sheltair, are built for the area's leisure and corporate clientele with private lounges, ramp-side vehicle access, and dedicated arrival handling. Hilton Head Island is approximately 40 to 55 minutes south, Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton approximately 35 to 50 minutes, and Sea Island approximately 90 to 110 minutes south via I-95.

Savannah rewards travellers who arrive without commercial friction. From a suite at the Perry Lane, the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside, or the Kehoe House, to a morning walk through Forsyth Park and the historic squares, dinner at the Grey or Alligator Soul, an afternoon at SCAD galleries, and a Saturday onward to Palmetto Bluff or Sea Island, the Lowcountry operates on a considered, unhurried pace that private charter is purpose-built for.

Why Savannah?

• The Savannah-Hilton Head advantage: KSAV is the primary executive gateway for the Lowcountry. Approximately 15 to 25 minutes from the Historic District, with FBO lounges built for the area's leisure and corporate clientele and no commercial congestion at the private terminals.
• A defining Southern cultural city: From the Historic District's 22 squares and antebellum architecture to the SCAD galleries, from the literary heritage of Flannery O'Connor and Midnight in the Garden to the city's thriving contemporary restaurant scene, Savannah stands as one of the most compelling small cities in the United States.
• The natural gateway to the Lowcountry coast: Savannah pairs seamlessly with Hilton Head Island, Palmetto Bluff, Bluffton, and the wider Golden Isles including Sea Island, St. Simons Island, and Jekyll Island. ParaFlight builds multi-destination Lowcountry itineraries as a single coordinated booking.
• A serious golf and resort corridor: From Palmetto Bluff's May River course to the Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head to the legendary courses at Sea Island, the Lowcountry offers one of the deepest golf corridors in the Southeast.
• Year-round access with a defining spring calendar: Savannah's climate runs warm from March through November, with the spring months of March through May drawing peak demand for the historic city and coast alike.

Arrive in Style

For most ParaFlight clients, Savannah-Hilton Head International is the default arrival point for the Lowcountry.

From the FBO, the drive into the Historic District runs approximately 15 to 25 minutes via I-16 and downtown surface streets. Tybee Island is approximately 30 to 40 minutes east. Hilton Head Island is approximately 40 to 55 minutes south via I-95 and US-278, Palmetto Bluff approximately 35 to 50 minutes via I-95, and Sea Island approximately 90 to 110 minutes south via I-95.
