Private Jet Charter to Sedona | The Red Rock Country Gateway

Fly Private to Sedona

Sedona is one of the most distinctive private aviation destinations in the American Southwest, defined by its dramatic mesa-top airport, the red rock canyon setting, and the depth of wellness and resort infrastructure across the town. Sedona Airport (KSEZ) sits at an elevation of 4,827 feet on a mesa above the town, with a runway of approximately 5,132 feet and terrain constraints that restrict operations to Light Jets and Turbo Props. The approach is one of the most scenic in U.S. private aviation, with the red rock formations of Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and the Boynton Canyon visible from the final leg.

For ParaFlight clients heading to Enchantment Resort and Mii amo in Boynton Canyon, L'Auberge de Sedona on Oak Creek, or Ambiente, a Landscape Hotel, KSEZ is the only airport that places you directly at the destination, with the drive to most resorts running approximately 5 to 15 minutes. For clients flying on Midsize, Super Midsize, or Heavy Jets, the standard alternative is Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (KFLG), approximately 45 to 60 minutes north, or Scottsdale Airport (KSDL), approximately 100 to 120 minutes south, with onward ground transfer arranged as part of the full itinerary.

Sedona rewards travellers who treat arrival as part of the experience. From a casita at Enchantment Resort nestled in Boynton Canyon, a creekside suite at L'Auberge, or a private residence along Back O' Beyond Road, to a morning hike up Bear Mountain, an afternoon spa at Mii amo, dinner at Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill or Elote Café, and a sunset Jeep tour across Schnebly Hill Road, the town operates on a considered, contemplative pace that private charter is purpose-built for.

Why Sedona?

Arrive in Style

For most ParaFlight clients arriving by Light Jet or Turbo Prop, Sedona Airport is the default arrival point. The FBO at KSEZ, Sedona Aviation, offers a private arrival area, ramp-side vehicle access, and coordination with the major resorts. Your car, whether a Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, or a resort shuttle, meets you within metres of the aircraft steps.

From the FBO, the drive to L'Auberge de Sedona and the town centre runs approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Enchantment Resort and Mii amo in Boynton Canyon are approximately 10 to 15 minutes. For clients arriving via Flagstaff Pulliam, the drive south through Oak Creek Canyon on Highway 89A is approximately 45 to 60 minutes and is itself one of the most scenic road routes in Arizona. From Scottsdale, the drive north via I-17 and Highway 179 runs approximately 100 to 120 minutes. ParaFlight arranges chauffeured ground transport, executive SUVs, and onward helicopter transfers across the red rock region where available.
