Nashville International is on the east side of town, about 15 minutes from downtown in normal traffic. Aircraft suitability for its 11,000 ft runway depends on load and conditions, and you board from the general aviation ramp about 15 minutes before the flight. On a short business leg like this one, John C. Tune on the west side is a quiet, quick alternative for a turboprop, light or midsize jet, and Smyrna is handy for Murfreesboro and the southeast side.

BNA · Nashville International
PDK · DeKalb Peachtree
DeKalb Peachtree is the business jet airport on the northeast side of Atlanta, in Chamblee. It is about 15 to 20 minutes to Buckhead, about 20 to 25 minutes to Midtown, about 30 to 40 minutes to downtown, and close to Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and Perimeter Center. The runway is about 6,000 ft, fine for turboprops and light through super midsize jets. On a heavy jet the operator checks weight and runway before we commit.
FTY · Fulton County Airport Brown Field
Fulton County Airport, also called Brown Field, is on the west side of Atlanta, about 15 to 20 minutes to downtown, the stadium and the arena, and close to Vinings and Smyrna, Georgia. Its runway is under 6,000 ft, which suits turboprops, light and midsize jets. It wins for a downtown meeting or a game, and when PDK is congested.
Alternates
JWN · John C. Tune
The quieter field on the west side of Nashville, about 15 minutes from downtown, with a runway of about 5,500 ft that suits light and midsize jets.
MQY · Smyrna
On the southeast side, about 25 to 35 minutes from downtown, with an 8,000 ft runway that requires a performance review for the specific airplane, load and conditions and saves the drive for Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.
From the cockpit
What a pilot would tell you about this leg.
- Nashville is on Central time and Atlanta is on Eastern. Take off at 9 a.m. and you land at about 10:45 a.m. by the local clock, even though you are in the air under an hour.
- The drive is about four hours each way. Flying private turns the trip into a morning meeting and lunch back in Nashville.
- Atlanta has heavy airline traffic. Arrivals into PDK route around it and can add a few minutes; the quote sets the real schedule.
- This is turboprop territory. A PC-12 flies it in about an hour with six seats and a lower cost, and the estimate shows it beside the jets.
- Short legs are priced on a daily minimum of flight hours, so the estimate for this route reflects that minimum rather than the minutes in the air.

Fair questions
Nashville to Atlanta questions.
How much does a private jet from Nashville to Atlanta cost?
Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range for each cabin size, including a turboprop. Short legs are priced on a daily minimum of flight hours, so the range reflects that minimum rather than the minutes in the air. Your quote will be exact and after the desk reviews the trip.
Is it worth flying private to Atlanta when I can drive?
The drive is about four hours each way. The flight is under an hour in the air, and you leave from a ramp 15 minutes from downtown Nashville and land 15 minutes from Buckhead. For a day of meetings with three or four people, it gives you the evening back.
Which Atlanta airport should we use?
DeKalb Peachtree (PDK) for Buckhead, Midtown and the north side. Fulton County (FTY) for downtown, the stadium, the arena and the west side. Both are quiet general aviation fields with no airline terminal. Tell us the address and we pick.
Can we do a same day round trip?
Yes, and it is the usual way to fly this leg. The aircraft and the operator's crew wait for you in Atlanta and bring you home in the evening. The estimate shows the round trip range; add the return date and time when you submit.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to three days is usually enough for this leg, because turboprops and light jets are based near Nashville. Same day works when one is free. For a game weekend or a holiday, give us a week and the estimate shows what to expect.
