Bangor Private Jet Charter Flights
Bangor is the biggest city in northern and eastern Maine. Some executives fly in for meetings with local companies and state offices before heading up I-95 toward the Canadian border or the timber country of the north woods. The city is also well known to corporate flight crews. Business jets crossing between the US and Europe often stop in Bangor to refuel and clear US customs.
Bangor is central Maine’s spot for healthcare, education, and shopping, with the University of Maine just up the river in Orono. In summer, concerts on the Penobscot waterfront draw crowds from across New England. From June to October, the city also works as a gateway to Acadia National Park, Moosehead Lake, and the rest of the Maine coast and woods.
At PrivateJet.com, we arrange private flights all over the world, including from and to Bangor. Air charters are operated by certified operators, and for many trips an aircraft can be ready on as little as four hours’ notice.
What Does a Private Jet to Bangor Cost?
Private jets to or from Bangor cost $3,500 to $18,000 per flight hour.

Private Jet Airports near Bangor, Maine
Bangor International handles most private traffic in the area. If your summer plans are on Mount Desert Island, though, it’s worth flying to the small airport near Bar Harbor, right on the edge of Acadia.
- Bangor International Airport (BGR): three miles west of downtown Bangor, open around the clock with a 24-hour control tower. The runway is 11,440-ft long, so aircraft size is never an issue. Customs officers are on site for flights arriving from abroad.
- Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport (BHB): in Trenton, about 8 miles from Bar Harbor and a short drive from Acadia National Park. Its 5,200-ft runway suits light jets and many midsize jets, and in summer it becomes one of Maine’s busiest airports for private flights. There’s no customs service, so flights from abroad clear at Bangor first.
FBO Services at Bangor Airports
At both Bangor International and Bar Harbor, private flights are handled by an FBO rather than the passenger terminal. Here’s what you can expect on the ground:
- Customs on arrival: private flights from Europe clear US entry at Bangor International, and Customs and Border Protection doesn’t charge for the inspection.
- Quick turnarounds: BGR Aviation, the airport’s own FBO, specializes in fast fuel stops for transatlantic flights.
- De-icing and winter readiness: from late fall to early spring, crews at BGR handle de-icing and snow on the ramp.
- Getting into town: downtown Bangor is about ten minutes away by car, and Bar Harbor is about an hour. For trips to Acadia, Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport may offer a shorter drive to your destination.
- Concierge services: we can have a car waiting for you at the FBO and arrange catering for your flight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I charter a private jet to Bangor?
Book a private jet charter to Bangor using our online quoting tool. Want to complete the process by phone? No problem. Our experts are here 24/7 to help you choose the right aircraft, compare prices, and plan your route.
Can a light jet fly from Bangor to Europe?
Not nonstop. Light jets and turboprops cross the North Atlantic in stages, usually through Goose Bay in Canada, then Greenland and Iceland, which makes for a long day with several stops. It’s better to book a super midsize or heavy jet if you want to reach Europe the same day without the fuel stops.
When is the best time to fly to Bangor?
Summer and early fall. From June to August, Acadia and the coast are at their busiest, and the fall foliage usually peaks from late September to mid-October. Bangor gets snow throughout the winter, so allow extra time for de-icing and possible weather delays.
