Air Direct provides private jet charter service from Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (KFTW), serving Fort Worth and the surrounding North/East Texas region. Citation Excel N560AD is based at Cox Field (KPRX) in Paris, Texas, approximately a 25-minute flight from KFTW under typical conditions.
Fly directly with an FAA Part 135 operator aboard a spacious midsize jet with a professional two-pilot crew, generous baggage capacity, a private lavatory, and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi. Your trip begins close to where you are and follows your itinerary—not an airline schedule.
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (KFTW) is the City of Fort Worth's oldest operating airport, dating to 1925. Located about five miles north of downtown, Meacham is exceptionally well positioned for the Fort Worth Stockyards, central business district, Cultural District, hotels, restaurants, and major employers.
Primary Runway 16/34 measures 7,501 feet by 150 feet with a grooved concrete surface and precision-instrument capability. KFTW also has a 24-hour FAA control tower, ASOS, on-field aircraft rescue and firefighting, U.S. Customs capability, maintenance providers, and extensive hangar and ramp facilities.
For Citation Excel operations, Meacham combines useful runway capability with a location that can substantially reduce ground travel once you reach Fort Worth. Actual performance is evaluated for each trip based on aircraft weight, weather, runway condition, obstacles, and other operating factors.
Meacham's two current full-service FBOs are Modern Aviation and Texas Jet. Both support business-aviation arrivals with fueling, passenger and crew facilities, ground transportation, and aircraft services.
Modern Aviation operates a state-of-the-art terminal and large open ramp, while Texas Jet is a long-established Fort Worth FBO with an extensive hangar complex and a strong service reputation. Air Direct can coordinate either facility based on the trip, passenger needs, and ramp availability.
Air Direct has operated under FAA Part 135 since 2002 and is based at Cox Field (KPRX) in Paris, Texas, approximately a 25-minute flight from KFTW under typical conditions. That makes Fort Worth a practical part of our regional charter service area.
When you book with Air Direct, you are working directly with the air carrier operating your flight. We own and operate Citation Excel N560AD, provide our own qualified flight crews, and manage your trip from the initial quote through completion of the flight.
Midsize comfort, useful capability, and complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi.
N560AD offers a spacious midsize cabin with seating for up to nine passengers, a private aft lavatory, fold-out work tables, passenger power outlets, and room to stand and move about during flight.
The Citation Excel's large external baggage compartment makes N560AD well suited for business luggage, family trips, golf equipment, ski gear, and other trips where baggage capacity matters.
Complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi lets you stay connected for work, communication, or entertainment while you travel.
Meacham's location is one of its biggest advantages. The historic Fort Worth Stockyards are only minutes away, while downtown, Sundance Square, the Cultural District, major museums, performance venues, hotels, and the city's corporate offices are all readily accessible.
Fort Worth blends a major business and aerospace economy with a distinct Western identity. For passengers whose actual destination is Fort Worth rather than Dallas, KFTW can be one of the most efficient private-aviation choices in the Metroplex.
Private travel built around Fort Worth and your schedule.
Meacham is close to the Stockyards, downtown Fort Worth, the Cultural District, major hotels, restaurants, and business destinations.
A 7,501-foot grooved runway, precision approaches, 24-hour tower, customs capability, maintenance, and two full-service FBOs support demanding corporate operations.
