California: Diverse Beauty & Plenty to Do
Enjoy Glamour, Beaches, Vineyards, Skiing & More
California is a gorgeous state with exceptional scenery and plenty to do, and PlaneSense flies passengers across the state for leisure and business trips. Whether you’re heading to San Diego for a beach vacation, hiking through Joshua Tree National Park, sipping your way through Napa Valley’s vineyards, walking the red carpet at an LA event, or attending business meetings in San Francisco, PlaneSense gets you closer to your preferred destinations.
While some charter operators can be cost effective, they typically only offer regional service. PlaneSense, on the other hand, offers seamless service to 1,250+ national and international destinations.
Corporate Travel & Small Jetport Access
Business travelers appreciate PlaneSense’s flexibility and convenience. Avoid the crowds, long lines, and travel delays of flying commercial, as PlaneSense offers more efficient, streamlined travel. For business meetings in San Francisco, forgo the big, busy San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). PlaneSense conveniently flies into smaller local airports like Hayward Executive (KHWD), San Francisco Bay Oakland International (KOAK), and Norman Y Mineta San Jose International (KSJC). Similarly, take PlaneSense to LA, bypassing hectic Los Angeles International (KLAX) to fly into Van Nuys (KVNY) or Long Beach/Daugherty Field (KLGB) instead.
Get Closer To Your Destination
PlaneSense services many California airports, including Napa County (KAPC), Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA), Palm Springs International (KPSP), Truckee-Tahoe (KTRK), Long Beach/Daugherty Field (KLGB), Yosemite International (KFAT), and more. PlaneSense is the perfect private aviation solution, flying to many national and international destinations.
Private flights with PlaneSense are convenient, luxurious, and efficient – the ideal choice in private aviation.
PlaneSense: An Exceptional Private Aviation Solution
Providing Seamless Service in California & Beyond
The PlaneSense fleet of Pilatus PC-12 turboprops and PC-24 jets are safe, reliable, and versatile. With outstanding landing capabilities, the PlaneSense fleet can land nearly anywhere – even remote locations with short, grass, or dirt runways – for more efficient travel.
The PC-24 private jet is the most popular aircraft in California. The jet’s range and comfort is ideal for flights into and out of California. For instance, when the temperatures soar in places like Phoenix, snowbirds take PlaneSense private jets to their second homes on the California coast.
