About Sheltair
Sheltair at Jacksonville International Airport operates a state-of-the-art FBO facility that goes well beyond the standard lounge and fuel service. The terminal at 14600 Whirlwind Avenue features an on-site gym, executive boardrooms for passenger and corporate meetings, snooze rooms for crew rest, a canteen market with complimentary refreshments, and well-appointed pilot lounges. Extensive hangar capacity and a large ramp footprint handle everything from light jets through the biggest ultra-long-range aircraft. Sheltair JAX is an official Bahamas Gateway, with U.S. Customs available on request, which is particularly useful for the steady flow of private flights between northeast Florida and the Bahamas. The FBO also provides complimentary interior aircraft cleaning, catering coordination, crew cars, and 24/7 concierge support. Jacksonville International has three runways, the longest at 10,000 feet, and the airport's location in northeast Florida puts it within reach of Amelia Island and its resorts to the north, the Ponte Vedra Beach community and TPC Sawgrass to the southeast, and downtown Jacksonville's emerging arts and riverfront district about 15 minutes south. Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, with a growing economy in logistics, financial services, healthcare, and the naval installations at NAS Jacksonville and Mayport. For charter passengers, Sheltair JAX offers a facility with the amenities and scale of a major-market FBO, including the gym and boardrooms that are uncommon at most airports. The Bahamas Gateway status adds a practical international dimension.
