The Private Aviation Standard for Shanghai

Hongqiao’s legacy as one of China’s oldest airports is matched only by its modern efficiency and dedication to private aviation excellence. The airport features two parallel runways extending over 11,000 feet, accommodating everything from agile light jets to ultra-long-range aircraft. With over 40 million passengers annually, Hongqiao stands apart for its dedicated general aviation facilities, discreet VIP lounges, and streamlined customs processing for private jet clients.


For discerning travelers, Hongqiao offers a significant advantage: proximity. Unlike Pudong International, which sits over 40 kilometers from the city center, Hongqiao’s central position enables rapid ground transfers to Shanghai’s financial districts, luxury shopping enclaves, and world-renowned cultural attractions. The airport’s business aviation terminal is designed for privacy, speed, and comfort—ensuring you can board your jet with minimal delay and maximum discretion.


Whether you’re visiting Shanghai for a board meeting, international summit, or exclusive event, Hongqiao delivers an unparalleled private jet experience in the heart of China’s most dynamic metropolis.

With two runways exceeding 11,000 feet, Hongqiao can accommodate the full range of business jets, from light turboprops and very light jets to heavy and ultra-long-range models such as the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 6000, and Falcon 8X.

How Do I Book a Same-Day Private Jet from SHA?

Contact Jettly directly via our online platform or by phone at 866-448-2358. We can typically arrange flights in as little as 3-6 hours, though we recommend booking at least 24-72 hours in advance for the best aircraft availability and pricing.

How Does Hongqiao Compare to Pudong (PVG) for Private Jet Travel?

Hongqiao is the preferred airport for private travelers seeking rapid city access, especially for business in central Shanghai, the Bund, and Xuhui.

Both airports offer first-class FBO services, but Hongqiao stands out for convenience and a more exclusive general aviation experience.
