Private Jet Shuttle: Chauffeured Car Service to FBOs and Private Terminals
The car is at the operator’s door before the stairs come down.
Charter and private aviation happens away from the airline buildings, at a fixed base operator on its own road. Executive Transportation drives that side: the passengers to wherever the day is, the crew to a bed, and the cases as far onto the ramp as the operator allows.

What it is
What a private jet shuttle is, and what comes with it
A private jet shuttle is a chauffeured ground transfer arranged around a private or charter flight instead of an airline seat: the vehicle meets the aircraft at the operator it parks at, and the booking carries a tail number where a flight number would go.
Where the chauffeur actually waits
General aviation is a separate building on a separate road, so the chauffeur waits at the FBO door rather than the airline terminal. Where the operator allows a car onto the ramp, the cases go from the hold straight into the trunk. Where they do not, the bags move at the FBO door.
The tail number does the work a flight number does
Send the operator, the registration and the hour the crew gave you, then call dispatch if the slot moves. A person answers at three in the morning as readily as three in the afternoon, and the chauffeur is told before you land.
One quote, and both ends of one arrival
A charter usually splits at the stairs: the passengers have a meeting and the crew has a hotel. One reservation covers both destinations, and the figure is quoted by the hour for the whole vehicle, so a full cabin shares it.
Every operator named on this page is copied from the airport page that verified it on that airport’s own general aviation listing in September 2026, with the check date printed there. Operators move and change hands, so confirm the building with your charter company before the day.
How a charter transfer goes
To the aircraft, and away from it again
Two legs, one reservation, and an operator name on both of them.
To the aircraft
Your address to the operator’s door
- Name the operator and the tail numberWhich FBO the aircraft is parked at, the registration, and the hour the crew asked for.
- The vehicle comes to the address you nameA house, a hotel, an office or a plant gate. Nobody meets a vehicle at a depot.
- Cases in at the doorThe trunk is open while you are still locking up, and golf bags go in there.
- Set down at the FBO, or at the aircraftThe chauffeur pulls up to that operator’s lobby, or onto the ramp where the operator allows it.
From the aircraft
The stairs to wherever the day is
- The inbound tail number goes on the bookingCall dispatch when the crew moves the slot, because that call is how we hear.
- The vehicle is standing before you landNo concourse to walk and no lane to find, just the door the operator named.
- Cases loaded beside the aircraft where the ramp allows itSome operators walk a vehicle out and the luggage never touches a cart.
- Two addresses out of one arrivalPassengers to the meeting, crew to the hotel, both legs on the same reservation.
Who books this
Who rides a private jet shuttle
Three kinds of caller fill this side of the book, and each wants something different from the same vehicle: a rear seat nobody looks into, a bed before an early show time, or room for hard cases.

Private jet terminals and FBOs we collect from
These are the buildings a charter passenger really walks out of. Each operator below is named on its own airport’s general aviation listing, with the check date on that airport page.
- 01
We collect at the FBO, never at a terminal
General aviation sits on its own road with its own lobby, and that lobby is where the vehicle waits.
- 02
Plane side where the operator allows it
Some fixed base operators walk a car out to the aircraft and some never do. We ask.
- 03
Crews and passengers on one reservation
An arrival that splits at the stairs is still one booking, so nobody waits for a second car.
- 04
A Sprinter or a coach for a full cabin
Fourteen seats with hard cases and a standing aisle, and a coach for anything past that.

Why be driven
How a private jet shuttle is quoted
There is no rate card on this site and no meter in the vehicle. The vehicle and the chauffeur are quoted by the hour, with the minimum stated up front, which suits a trip whose hour belongs to a flight crew.
By the hour, with the minimum up front
The hours the run takes decide the figure, and the minimum is in the written quote before the vehicle moves.
The vehicle is quoted once
A cabin of six shares a single quote, and the crew leg beside it is quoted the same way.
What sets the hours
Distance, the size of the vehicle, the hour the crew gave you, and any second address on the way.
How to book it
Call dispatch or send the form with the operator and the tail number on it. Seventy-two hours is the notice we like, and anything shorter depends on what is free.
We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability.
The fleet
Which vehicle meets the aircraft
Hard cases decide this more often than headcount does, because golf bags and ski tubes take the room four suitcases would.
Executive Sedan
One or two passengers off a light jet, or a single crew member to a hotel.
View vehicle
Luxury SUV
Five out of a midsize cabin with the rear row down for hard cases, or six with cabin bags. The usual answer for a charter party.
View vehicle
Sprinter Van
Fourteen seats, a standing aisle and a luggage bay, so a full cabin and its crew travel in one vehicle.
View vehicle
Groups of 22 to 35
Two or three aircraft landing together, or a delegation. Shuttle coaches seat 22 to 35, limousine coaches 25 to 30.
Shuttle CoachLimousine CoachParties of eight to ten take the stretch limousine. A uniformed chauffeur comes with each of them.

Private terminals we drive to most
Eight fields carry most of the charter work: four in the Chicago area, three around St. Louis, and the Springfield field. Every card opens the page for that field.
Six more fields with a verified operator sit in the directory above, and every airport with a page of its own is on the airports hub.
The figure on each card is the airport code, not a drive time: a service has no origin to measure from. A connection between two fields is an airport to airport transfer.
Whichever gate the aircraft parks behind, the booking works the same way.
Book the transfer
Book the car that meets your aircraft.

What riders say
Riders on the charter side
Executive Transportation saved the day after another bus company fell through last minute.
The scheduling process was seamless, and the timely pickup from Bloomington airport made my journey stress-free.
Our group of 7 needed a ride from Chicago O’Hare to Springfield. The vehicle was clean and comfortable.
An office that arranges the ground half for somebody else usually wants the billing and the recurring runs in one place, which is corporate airport transfers.
Executives held between meetings keep the vehicle and the chauffeur through the day on an hourly booking instead.
Private aviation questions
What charter passengers and flight crews ask first
The answers below hold at every field in the directory above.
What is a private jet shuttle?
A private jet shuttle is a chauffeured ground transfer arranged around a private or charter flight rather than an airline seat. Executive Transportation meets the aircraft at the fixed base operator it parks at and books the run against the operator and the tail number.
Send the flight or call (217) 523-5466.
Where does the chauffeur meet a private flight?
At the FBO door rather than the airline terminal. General aviation has its own building on its own road, so the chauffeur waits at that lobby, and where the operator allows a car onto the ramp it comes to the aircraft instead.
The directory above names every operator, field by field.
What do you need from me to book one?
Four things: the operator or FBO name, the tail number, the scheduled time the crew gave you, and the address at the other end. Headcount and hard cases decide which vehicle comes. Call dispatch if the crew moves the slot.
Dispatch is at (217) 523-5466, any hour.
Do you drive flight crews?
Yes, and crew positioning is ordinary work here rather than a favor. Hotel to the aircraft for an early show time, aircraft to the hotel after a late leg, and the passengers on the same reservation when both are wanted.
See scheduled shuttles for repeating crew runs.
Can you do a late night or early positioning run?
Yes. Dispatch is answered by a person 24 hours a day, and a departure before dawn is the ordinary shape of charter work rather than an exception. Book as far ahead as you can, because the earliest hours fill first.
Call (217) 523-5466 with the show time.
Which vehicle for six passengers with luggage?
A luxury SUV takes five with the rear row folded for hard cases, or six with cabin bags, and a Sprinter van takes fourteen with a luggage bay and a standing aisle. Six passengers carrying golf bags or ski tubes usually ride the Sprinter.
Compare the full fleet by capacity.
How is a private jet shuttle priced?
Executive Transportation quotes the vehicle and the chauffeur by the hour, with the minimum stated up front, rather than publishing a rate. The hours the run takes, the size of the vehicle and the hour of the pickup set the figure. One quote covers the whole vehicle.
Request a Quote or call (217) 523-5466.
Do you arrange the aircraft as well?
No. Executive Transportation is a ground transportation company: we drive to the aircraft, we do not charter it. Your broker or operator files the flight and names the FBO, and we take over at that door. The operator names we hold are printed on the airport pages.
Start at the airports hub for the field you are flying into.

Three things charter callers tell us made the difference.
The vehicle is at the door, not the terminal
A charter passenger should not be walking a concourse they were never booked through.
Both ends of one arrival, on one booking
An arrival that splits at the stairs is a single booking, so nobody waits for a second car.
Somebody answers at four in the morning
Show times and slots move at hours a form cannot handle, and dispatch is staffed for them.
