Save on Your San Francisco Private Charter Flights
These days, over 30% of private jet charters are flying empty either to get into the position for the next booked flight or to return to their home base. These flights are known as empty legs and are one-way private jet flights without any payload or passengers on board.
It often happens that such an empty-leg flight has been paid for in part by the original flyer and is therefore offered at reduced rates. Empty legs offer price advantages with cost savings of up to 75% when compared to standard private jet travel rates.
At any given time, there may be more than 3,000 empty legs available worldwide. Once you let us know about your preferred routes and dates, we can match your air charter schedule with empty-leg charter flights available on the market.
Using multiple platforms, Paramount Business Jets offers the most comprehensive empty-leg flight search on the market.

What is the preferred private jet airport in the San Francisco Bay Area?
Paramount Business Jets arranges private jet charter service in San Francisco, California, primarily through Oakland International Airport (OAK), offering on-demand charters, global aircraft sourcing, and premium concierge services for travelers and executives throughout the San Francisco area. San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) is the go-to for Silicon Valley corporate executive travel. San Francisco International Airport (SFO), while closest to the city, experiences frequent weather-related delays and high commercial traffic volumes that can impact private jet scheduling.
Why do private jets frequently experience delays at San Francisco International Airport?
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is uniquely susceptible to marine layer fog — a natural weather phenomenon along the Northern California coast — which frequently forces the airport to reduce from dual runway operations to single runway arrivals. When the FAA enacts these traffic management programs, private jet charter flights are often held at their origin airports. For time-sensitive travel, Oakland International Airport (OAK) or San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) are more reliable alternatives.
Can private jets land at smaller airports closer to Silicon Valley?
Yes. Corporate executive travelers heading to Silicon Valley often utilize Palo Alto Airport (PAO) or San Carlos Airport (SQL) for proximity to major technology campuses and venture capital offices. These airports are subject to shorter runway lengths and aircraft weight restrictions, limiting use to light jets and specific midsize aircraft. For travelers requiring larger aircraft, San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) remains the most capable and convenient Silicon Valley option.
Are helicopter transfers available from Bay Area private terminals?
Yes. Helicopter transfers can be coordinated directly from private terminal ramps at Oakland International Airport (OAK), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC). Helicopter connections can reach Napa Valley, Sonoma wine country, and Silicon Valley campuses in minutes. Our private aviation advisors can arrange helicopter coordination as part of your overall travel itinerary.
What are the busiest private jet travel periods in San Francisco?
Book ahead for major holidays, Salesforce Dreamforce, Apple and Google developer conferences, venture capital conference season, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, NBA season schedules, and high-volume technology industry earnings periods.
