Air Direct regularly provides private jet charter service from Greenville Municipal Airport – Majors Field (KGVT). Our Citation Excel, N560AD, is based nearby at Cox Field (KPRX) in Paris, Texas—roughly a 15-minute flight from Greenville—making KGVT a practical part of the Northeast Texas region we regularly serve.
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 starts in Greenville and follows your itinerary—not an airline schedule.

Majors Airport sits southeast of Greenville near I-30 and has served the community since World War II. The field traces its history to an Army Air Forces training base opened during the war and was named in honor of Lt. Truett Majors, the first Hunt County pilot killed in action during World War II.
Today, Runway 17/35 measures 8,030 feet by 150 feet. KGVT is towered, has an AWOS, published instrument procedures including ILS and RNAV approaches, and substantial ramp and support infrastructure for corporate and general aviation. The City of Greenville describes the field as a more-than-1,500-acre airport with a 30,000-square-foot lighted general-aviation ramp and full-service Jet-A and 100LL fueling.
For N560AD, that runway length provides considerably more pavement than Air Direct's 5,000-foot runway guideline for considering Citation Excel charter operations. As always, actual takeoff and landing performance is evaluated for aircraft weight, weather, runway condition, obstacles, and the other operating factors applicable to the flight.
Greenville Aviation serves as the FBO at Majors Field. The city-operated facility provides full-service Jet-A and 100LL, aircraft parking and tie-downs, courtesy cars, internet access, a pilot lounge and shower, flight planning and computerized weather, a conference room, and other support for visiting aircraft and crews.
Majors Field is easy to reach from Greenville and the surrounding Hunt County business corridor, with the airport located just off I-30 via FM 1570. For charter passengers, that means a straightforward local departure without first driving deeper into the Dallas-area airport system.
The airport's combination of a long runway, tower services, instrument approaches, full-service fuel, and a city FBO makes KGVT especially well suited to business-aviation activity.

Greenville is the county seat of Hunt County and sits along I-30 northeast of Dallas at the crossroads of several major highways. The community grew from its agricultural and cotton roots into a regional center for aerospace, defense, manufacturing, healthcare, and distribution.
Downtown Greenville brings together the historic 1929 Hunt County Courthouse, the Greenville Municipal Auditorium, Texan Theater, restaurants, shops, and a growing public-art program of murals and sculpture. The Downtown Art Walk reflects the city's cotton history and local culture, while the historic downtown preserves a number of significant buildings and landmarks.
Greenville is also home to the Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum, tying together two important parts of the area's identity: one of America's most decorated combat soldiers and the cotton industry that once shaped Greenville's economy and reputation.
Aviation at Majors Field did not end with World War II. The airport became a center for aircraft modification and aerospace work after the war, and today L3Harris maintains a major Greenville operation on the field. The company's presence makes aerospace and defense one of the defining industries of the Greenville economy.
That aviation identity is visible on the ramp and in the traffic using the field. Large military and special-mission aircraft are regularly associated with modification and flight-test work at Greenville, giving Majors Field a character unlike most municipal airports in the region.

Air Direct has operated under FAA Part 135 since 2002 and is based at Cox Field (KPRX) in Paris, Texas. Greenville is roughly a 15-minute flight from our home base, and we regularly serve KGVT for charter departures and arrivals.
When you book with Air Direct, you work 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.
Greenville is close enough to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to benefit from its growth, but that does not mean every private trip needs to begin with a drive toward a major Metroplex airport. Meet N560AD at KGVT, board in Greenville, and depart directly toward the airport that best serves your destination.
For Hunt County businesses and residents, the time saved can begin before the airplane ever takes off. Private aviation also opens access to thousands of airports without scheduled airline service, often placing you closer to the meeting, facility, family, resort, or event at the other end of the trip.
Private travel built around Greenville and your schedule.
N560AD is based at KPRX in Paris, Texas, roughly a 15-minute flight from Greenville, making KGVT an efficient airport for us to serve.
Majors Field offers a long, wide primary runway along with tower service, instrument approaches, Jet-A, and business-aviation support—strong infrastructure for a regional airport.
KGVT provides direct access to Greenville's aerospace, manufacturing, healthcare, industrial, and commercial community without routing the trip through a Dallas-area airport.
Business meeting, plant visit, customer trip, family travel, weekend away, or a longer cross-country journey—private charter lets the itinerary revolve around you. The Citation Excel is well suited for both regional and cross-country travel, with nonstop capability depending on passenger load, baggage, winds, weather, airport conditions, and required fuel reserves.
From KGVT, Air Direct can plan trips throughout the United States and to approved destinations in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Tell us where you need to go and we will build the trip around your itinerary.
