Flight time, one way
Reach Ohio's capital in about an hour, direct. No connection through Charlotte or Atlanta, and your choice of Columbus airports so you land closest to the meeting. SkySouth Aviation has flown private charter since 2003.
The route, direct
One of the quickest routes SkySouth flies. Wheels up from the Triad and wheels down in Columbus with no connection.
Door to door
There is no convenient nonstop from the Triad to Columbus on the airlines, so commercial travelers connect through Charlotte or Atlanta. A 330 mile trip becomes a half-day affair. Private makes it a quick hop.
Commercial estimates assume typical routing from the Triad with a connection through Charlotte or Atlanta. Individual itineraries vary by carrier and day. Private times reflect departure from Burlington, our home base, with a Greensboro area PTI pickup also available for a small repositioning fee.
Two aircraft, one quick hop
At roughly 287 nautical miles, Columbus is one of the shortest routes in our network. The Citation CJ1 and CJ3 both make it in about an hour. Choose based on group size and what you want onboard.
