Ground Logistics for Private Aviation: FBO Transfers and Tarmac Coordination

Fixed-base operators handle private aviation departures and arrivals at most airports. A ground transportation provider that works regularly with FBOs understands the security protocols, access procedures, and timing expectations that commercial car services do not.

Tarmac coordination means the vehicle is positioned to meet the aircraft as it parks — not waiting in a holding lot. For clients who charter specifically to avoid the commercial terminal, walking through an FBO lobby to find their car defeats the purpose.

Multi-leg charter operations require tight ground logistics between segments. When a business jet stops in two cities in the same day, the ground team at each city must be in communication with the flight crew to coordinate wheels-down timing and surface transport.

Luggage handling at FBOs is more involved than at commercial curbs. Multiple pieces of checked luggage, golf bags, and equipment cases move from ramp to vehicle — your chauffeur should be prepared to assist and to verify inventory against the manifest.

BNG Worldwide Chauffeur Services has established working relationships with FBOs at major airports across the country. Our chauffeurs are familiar with tarmac access requirements and coordinate directly with FBO ground staff to ensure seamless arrivals and departures.
