The hub

Palm Springs, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Palm Springs sits at the western edge of the Coachella Valley in the Southern California desert, 107 miles east of Los Angeles. The city's economy runs on hospitality, real estate, and events: the valley hosts some of the highest-density private jet traffic in North America during Coachella and Stagecoach weekends in April, when PSP and the overflow airport at Thermal (KTHERMAL/TRM) operate near capacity. Year-round demand is driven by second-home owners, golf resort visits, and entertainment industry executives rotating between LA and the desert.

Palm Springs International (PSP) handles commercial and general aviation on parallel runways 13L/31R and 13R/31L, both exceeding 8,500 feet — sufficient for large-cabin and ultra-long-range jets. The airport operates U.S. Customs and Border Protection services daily from 07:00 to 23:00, enabling international arrivals without pre-clearance complexity. The terminal environment is compact and walkable, with FBO ramps positioned close to the main apron for fast block-in-to-vehicle transfers.

For operators planning peak-season missions, Thermal (TRM) — designated the Coachella festival overflow hub — absorbs significant GA volume when PSP reaches apron saturation. Advance PPR and parking reservations at both fields are mandatory from mid-March through late April. Outside festival windows, Palm Springs operates as a relaxed, low-congestion port of entry with predictable handling times and excellent weather reliability exceeding 350 clear days annually.
