Sun Valley Business Leisure Charter Trends

Sun Valley Private Jet Market – 2025 Forecast

In 2025, Sun Valley continues to thrive as a niche private aviation hub catering to affluent seasonal travelers. As one of the most scenic and exclusive mountain resort areas in the U.S., it sees high demand from executives, celebrities, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Private Jet Arrivals: Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN)

Located in Hailey, Idaho, SUN is the primary airport for Sun Valley charter flights. Private travelers benefit from dedicated FBO service, quick tarmac access, and proximity to resort destinations like Ketchum and Bald Mountain.

Top Charter Routes in 2025

  • Sun Valley to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle – peak ski season routes
  • Sun Valley to Dallas, Houston, and Chicago – business and second-home owners
  • Sun Valley to New York and Miami – spring and summer leisure routes

Charter Clientele in Sun Valley

  • Second-home owners and ultra-high-net-worth vacationers
  • Entertainment figures and public personalities avoiding major hubs
  • Groups attending luxury weddings and private retreats
  • Outdoor enthusiasts flying in for ski, fly-fishing, and hiking excursions

Aircraft Preferences

Because of SUN’s elevation and runway limitations, midsize jets such as the Learjet 75 and Citation XLS+ are popular choices. Light jets like the Phenom 100 and CJ3 also perform well here, especially with smaller parties or short-haul arrivals.

Seasonal Flight Trends

  • Winter: Peak demand from December to March with frequent empty-leg opportunities
  • Spring/Summer: Luxury retreats, golf events, and mountain weddings attract charter flights
  • Fall: Hunting and fly-fishing travel boosts shoulder-season activity

Why Sun Valley Remains in Demand

The privacy, natural beauty, and event-driven calendar of Sun Valley continue to draw high-end travelers. As 2025 unfolds, demand is expected to exceed previous years, especially around high-season weekends and major events like film festivals or private galas.
