A Legacy of Private Aviation
During WWI, Camp Gordon, a military training camp, was located on the grounds that are now PDK. The base closed in 1922. In 1940, the U.S. government authorized the construction of a military airport on the site. Airport operations began on March 22nd, 1941, just a few months before the U.S. entered WWII. The base was called Naval Air Station Atlanta. Additionally, barracks that had been used during the war were converted to classrooms for Southern Technical Institute, a new engineering technology school created by Georgia Tech for former military officers. As the United States Navy had leased the airport from the county, it was converted from military to civilian use between 1957 and 1959 (the Naval Air Station and the Southern Technical Institute were moved). By 1975 more than 400 aircraft, as well as 48 corporations, were based at PDK. A new control tower was built in 1988, and it stands 130 feet tall. The helipad was added in the 1990s.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about flying private to Atlanta.
Yes, private jet flights offer flexible departure times. Operators generally provide a window of 30 minutes to two hours, but this can be extended upon request, provided it doesn't conflict with crew duty limitations or subsequent flight schedules. It's best to confirm this flexibility with your aviation advisor when booking.
Generally, each passenger on a light or midsize private jet can bring one piece of luggage, with each piece weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 lbs). However, larger jets, which are often used for longer journeys, typically allow passengers to bring more than one piece of luggage per person to accommodate extended stays.
Yes, all passengers on international private jet flights must go through customs. Certain countries require customs clearance at designated ports of entry. For instance, flights heading to Bora Bora must stop in Tahiti for customs. Similarly, when entering the U.S. from Mexico, passengers must clear customs at the first port of entry.
Crew members must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest within a 24-hour period. Their duty day cannot exceed 14 hours, followed by a rest period at their hotel. Typically, flight operators schedule around 12 hours of rest to accommodate travel time to and from the hotel, ensuring the crew has adequate rest.
A fuel stop usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. To expedite the process, the flight operator or pilots often notify the fueling service in advance, so a fuel truck is ready upon the jet's arrival. For smaller aircraft, refueling might take as little as 30 minutes.
Yes, on most private jets, luggage can be accessed during the flight because the luggage and passenger areas are on the same level. This contrasts with commercial flights where luggage is stored separately in the cargo hold. On larger private jets, luggage is often stored in an area behind the lavatory, making it accessible during the flight.
Private jet passengers can enjoy a variety of catering options, including local cuisine. While standard snacks and beverages are typically available, meals that do not require cooking can be ordered in advance. Any hot food must be pre-cooked and can only be warmed on board.
Yes, pets are welcome on most private jet flights. It's important to inform the operator in advance, as there may be specific requirements or a small cleaning fee. Ensure that all necessary documentation and vaccination records for your pet are current. For domestic U.S. travel, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old and weaned.
