About Jet Aviation Boston
Jet Aviation Boston is at 380 Hanscom Drive, Bedford, MA 01730, phone +1 781-274-0030. The company has operated at this address since 1984, giving it more than four decades of institutional knowledge on the Hanscom field. A major renovation and expansion began with a groundbreaking in July 2015 and produced the current facility: a 40,000 square foot hangar with clearance for aircraft including the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7000, paired with 16,000 square feet of office and shop space.
This was the first Jet Aviation facility worldwide to earn LEED Silver certification, and the building systems reflect that. EV charging is available, sustainable aviation fuel is on offer, and hybrid vehicles handle ramp work. The facility also holds IS-BAH Stage 2 certification, an international safety standard for ground handling operations that requires documented procedures and third-party audits.
For international arrivals, Jet Aviation Boston handles customs clearance on site, removing the need to coordinate separately with customs brokers. Line maintenance is available for aircraft requiring attention before the next departure. The domestic and international handling capability makes this a practical single-stop option for both inbound and outbound international charter flights through Boston.
Hanscom sits 20 miles northwest of Boston. Passengers heading to Cambridge research facilities, the Route 128 technology corridor, or Concord and Lexington reach their destinations without navigating Logan's approach roads or the harbor tunnels. For those heading into Boston proper, the drive runs roughly 45 to 55 minutes during peak hours. Ground transport options connect from the Bedford location to the full metro area.
