There are numerous reasons why a luxury jet charter might need to access an alternate airport, including:<\/p>\n<h2>Weather<\/h2>\n<p>If the weather conditions at your intended airport threaten air charter safety, a luxury jet charter might need to land at an alternate airport in the area where conditions are more favorable.<\/p>\n<h2>Emergencies<\/h2>\n<p>If something goes wrong\u00a0during a charter flight, the pilot might need to land\u00a0at the nearest airport.<\/p>\n<h2>Congestion<\/h2>\n<p>One perk of private aviation is that luxury jet charter clients can choose from\u00a0a wider range of airports. If the destination airport happens to be congested, or unavailable for other reasons, the pilot might be able to reroute the flight to a more convenient airport in the local area.<\/p>\n<h2>Temporary Flight Restrictions<\/h2>\n<p>From time to the, the FAA will issue a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) for a given airspace. This prevents\u00a0air charter flights from flying into\u00a0that airspace without the proper clearance. As a result, the charter operator will need to find an alternate airport. With any of the above scenarios, passengers might need to arrange\u00a0additional ground travel to reach their destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An alternate airport is a secondary airport that allows a charter plane to land when the intended airport is not available.","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[978],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61504"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61504"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94145,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61504\/revisions\/94145"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
