About Jackson Jet Center
Jackson Jet Center at 3815 Rickenbacker Street operates 140,000 square feet of hangar space across five bays, each with 28-foot door clearance that accommodates the Global 7500, Gulfstream G700, and similarly tall-tail aircraft without repositioning complications. When you step off the plane, a 9,400 square foot lobby greets you with gourmet coffee and fresh-baked cookies. Two private conference rooms handle business continuity between flights, and a shower room lets crews and passengers clean up after overnight legs.
Crew cars run luxury-class vehicles, and the ground team manages baggage without hand-offs. If your aircraft picks up a squawk, Jackson operates a Textron Authorized Service Facility on-site, staffed by factory-trained technicians who collectively carry more than 100 years of experience across the shop floor. That maintenance depth matters when a discrepancy surfaces before departure and ferrying to another field is not an option.
Jackson holds the Air Elite Network certification as the first and only certified FBO in the Pacific Northwest, a designation that requires documented standards across fuel quality, handling procedures, and service consistency. The facility runs 24 hours, seven days a week, though extended coverage outside standard windows carries a call-out fee, so coordinate timing with ops in advance if your departure falls late at night. Jackson is part of the Paragon Aviation Group network, which aligns fuel pricing and contract terms with other Paragon locations across the country.
Boise sits roughly 15 minutes from the terminal by car. Sun Valley is about two hours east on U.S. 20, a common routing for ski charters that stage through KBOI. For that traffic and for any operator needing maintenance coverage alongside full-service handling, Jackson is the primary choice on the field.
