Desert Jet Center

Desert Jet Center has earned the top customer rating among FBOs in the Palm Springs area for four consecutive years and ranks in the top five percent in the Americas according to the Aviation International News FBO survey. The 32,500-square-foot facility at Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport delivers an experience that stands out in a competitive Coachella Valley market.

The terminal makes a strong visual impression with floor-to-ceiling windows, a luxurious lobby, and a gorgeous observation deck offering wide views of the airport, the surrounding desert floor, and the San Jacinto Mountains to the west. Amenities go beyond the standard FBO formula: an auto-spa detailing service, a dedicated pet relieving station with refreshment bar, pilot lounges and snooze room, showers, a kitchen, conference rooms, and Wi-Fi throughout. The facility is NATA Safety 1st certified and serves as the preferred FBO for CAA and Citation Jet Pilots Association members at KTRM.

Desert Jet Center is backed by Desert Jet, a Part 135 charter operator, which means the team understands the charter passenger experience from departure to arrival. On-site maintenance and aircraft detailing services are readily available, and the concierge team coordinates ground transportation, hotel reservations, and restaurant bookings across the Coachella Valley's resort communities.

The airport's 8,500-foot runway handles all midsize and super-midsize jets, and the uncongested desert airspace provides reliable access year-round. During the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals in April, and throughout the winter social season, Desert Jet Center handles surge traffic with the same attention to detail that earned its top rankings. For passengers who expect resort-level hospitality to begin the moment the aircraft door opens, this FBO delivers.
