Private Jet Charter from Boston: Why Hanscom Field Is New England's Smartest Departure

When New England travelers search for a Boston private jet charter, the airport they picture is usually Logan International. But for private aviation, the smartest departure point sits just 14 miles northwest of the city: Laurence G. Hanscom Field (KBED) in Bedford, Massachusetts — Waltzing Matilda Aviation's home base and one of New England's busiest general-aviation airports.

20 minutes from downtown Boston — without the Logan congestion

Hanscom Field is roughly a 20-minute drive from downtown Boston, yet it operates with none of the terminal congestion, security lines, or ground-traffic delays of a major commercial hub. For a Boston air charter client, that means arriving at the FBO minutes before departure, walking directly to your aircraft, and being wheels-up on your schedule — not the airline's.

A local operator with a national safety standard

Waltzing Matilda Aviation has flown from Hanscom Field since 2008 and has held its FAA Part 135 air-carrier certificate (No. 6WZA614N) since April 2015. Every charter is operated to the same standards validated by our ARGUS Gold rating, IS-BAO Stage 2 registration, and NBAA membership. When you charter from Boston with a local operator, you get crews who know the Northeast's airports, weather, and slot constraints firsthand.
