Music City,
On Your Schedule

Nashville has emerged as one of the fastest-growing private aviation markets in the country, driven by the depth of the music industry, the dominance of HCA and the healthcare sector, the Titans and Predators ownership groups, and a steady stream of relocations from California and New York into Brentwood, Belle Meade, Franklin and Leiper's Fork. Whether you are departing for Los Angeles, New York, Aspen or an international crossing, Chronos Air Group provides access to the right aircraft, the right crew, and the right terminal.

As a Hightail Air Charter LLC operation, every Nashville departure is managed around your schedule. John C. Tune (JWN) is our preferred terminal for nearly every client, a dedicated general aviation facility on the west side with no commercial traffic, multiple FBOs, and direct access to Belle Meade, Green Hills and downtown. BNA is used selectively for heavy international departures.

Everything You Need to Know About Flying Private from Nashville

Should I Use BNA or John C. Tune for Private Jet Charter from Nashville?

For nearly every Nashville private jet mission, John C. Tune Airport (JWN) is the right answer. JWN is dedicated entirely to general aviation with no commercial traffic, offers full-service FBOs, and is positioned on the west side of the city for fast access to Belle Meade, Green Hills, West End and downtown. Ground times are dramatically shorter than BNA.

Nashville International (BNA) is reserved for heavy and ultra long range departures requiring the longer runway and widebody handling that BNA provides. Smyrna (MQY) is the preferred alternative for clients in Brentwood, Franklin and the southeast suburbs, and Lebanon Municipal (M54) serves the eastern Nashville corridor.

How Long is the Flight from Nashville to Los Angeles by Private Jet?

The Nashville to Los Angeles crossing takes approximately 3 hours 30 minutes westbound by midsize jet from John C. Tune or BNA to Van Nuys or Burbank. It is the defining private aviation corridor for the Nashville music industry, and one of the most consistently requested routes from the city. Eastbound is closer to 4 hours due to prevailing winds.

How Much Does a Private Jet Charter from Nashville Cost?

Pricing depends on aircraft category and route. As a general guide for Nashville departures:

  • Light jets (e.g., Phenom 300): $4,500 to $6,500 per flight hour, ideal for New York, Miami and Chicago
  • Midsize jets (e.g., Challenger 350): $6,500 to $9,000 per hour for LA, Aspen, Cabo and Las Vegas
  • Heavy and ultra long range jets (e.g., G650, Global 7500): $11,500 to $18,000 per hour for London, Hawaii and intercontinental departures

Chronos Air Group provides all-inclusive pricing on request so there are no surprises on the day of departure.

Can Chronos Handle Tour Routings for Music and Sports Clients?

Yes. Multi-leg tour routings, equipment and gear manifests, late-notice schedule changes and the operational tempo of a touring artist or sports team are standard work for our Nashville advisors. We coordinate aircraft positioning, crew duty cycles, FBO arrangements and ground transport for tour routings ranging from single-week residency runs to multi-month US and international tours.

Does Chronos Air Group Offer Jet Cards for Nashville Clients?

Yes. Our Jet Card Program provides pre-purchased flight hours at fixed hourly rates with guaranteed availability and no blackout dates.
