Atlantic Aviation

Atlantic Aviation operates at both the north and south ends of Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal, California, providing comprehensive FBO coverage at this Coachella Valley airfield located about 20 miles southeast of Palm Springs. The dual-facility layout gives operators flexibility in parking and ground handling depending on their approach direction and hangar needs.

Services include Jet A and 100LL fueling, hangar rentals, tie-downs, ground handling, catering, baggage service, GPU availability, crew cars, and on-site Part 145 maintenance and repair. Pilot lounges, showers, and a pet relief area round out the amenities. The north facility can be reached at (760) 399-4300 and the south at (760) 399-1855.

Jacqueline Cochran Regional, named for the pioneering aviator who lived in nearby Indio, has a 8,500-foot runway that handles large-cabin business jets. The airport serves as one of three airfield options in the greater Palm Springs area, alongside Palm Springs International (KPSP) and Bermuda Dunes (KUDD). During the Coachella Valley Music Festival each April, all three airports see dramatic traffic increases, and advance reservations at Atlantic are strongly recommended.

The surrounding Coachella Valley is defined by its desert resort communities, including Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, and La Quinta, all of which draw winter visitors seeking warm weather and championship golf courses. The BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament at Indian Wells and the Stagecoach country music festival add to seasonal demand. Atlantic Aviation's dual-ended presence at KTRM ensures passengers have reliable FBO service regardless of which direction they approach this desert destination.
