Airport Key Facts

Flying Privately to Concord

Choosing private jet charter to Concord means bypassing the lengthy check-in queues and crowded terminals that define commercial Bay Area travel. Buchanan Field Airport operates exclusively for general and executive aviation, meaning ramp access is direct, ground handling is personal, and departure schedules flex around your agenda rather than an airline timetable. The airport’s proximity to Concord’s business districts and the wider Contra Costa corridor translates to door-to-destination journey times that commercial alternatives simply cannot match. Private travellers benefit from a calm, exclusive environment where aircraft, crew, and ground services are entirely dedicated to their journey.

About Buchanan Field Airport

Buchanan Field Airport (IATA: CCR / ICAO: KCCR) has served the Contra Costa County community since the 1940s, originally developed during World War II and subsequently transitioned into a vital general aviation hub for the East Bay. Owned and operated by Contra Costa County, the airport accommodates a broad range of aircraft categories, from single-engine pistons and turboprops through to mid-size and super-midsize jets, though the 5,001-foot primary runway does impose practical limits on larger heavy-jet operations. The facility features well-maintained ramp space, executive passenger lounges, and fuel services suited to business aviation. For domestic arrivals, passenger processing is straightforward and efficient; international arrivals requiring customs and immigration clearance are typically handled through pre-coordinated arrangements with US Customs and Border Protection. The airport’s location within the Bay Area’s general aviation network makes it a preferred alternative to the busier primary airports for operators prioritising speed and discretion.
