From Private Tarmac to Black Car: Why Our Clients Book Ground First

In private aviation, there’s no TSA line. No gate announcements. No terminal chaos. But what happens after wheels down can make or break the entire travel experience.

That’s why more of our clients are flipping the script: they’re booking ground transportation first.

 

When Timing Is Everything

For high-frequency travelers – especially executives, athletes, and artists – a seamless handoff from jet to vehicle isn’t a luxury. It’s essential. At PorterGT, we coordinate directly with FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) to align our chauffeurs’ arrivals with your aircraft’s touchdown, factoring in weather, air traffic, and flight delays in real-time.

When we say “on the tarmac,” we mean it. Your driver is briefed, waiting, and ready – whether the car is rolling up to the aircraft steps or stationed just outside the gate for immediate pickup.

 

Why Ground Comes First

Here’s why our repeat clients often start with us before they even select a flight:

 

  • Ground availability sets the pace. In peak season or during major events, premium vehicles go fast – especially for multicar itineraries.

  • We build the itinerary from the curb in. Knowing ground constraints allows your flight planner or broker to adjust arrival times accordingly.

  • It’s one less moving piece. Booking ground first gives clients peace of mind – one less detail to worry about once airborne.

 

PorterGT in Sync with PorterJets

Clients who use both PorterGT and PorterJets benefit from complete integration. Our concierge team shares flight tracking data, coordinates with brokers and pilots, and ensures the right vehicles are staged for every stop – whether it’s your final destination or a quick layover with a mid-trip meeting.

 

Trusted Across Cities

From Miami to Nashville to Aspen, our ground team speaks the language of private aviation. We know the FBOs, the patterns, and the pace of this world. And it shows – in our timing, discretion, and ability to adapt on the fly.

When ground and air move as one, the client always wins.
