Private charter to & from Chico

Chico is the largest city in Butte County and the economic and cultural center of the northern Sacramento Valley. California State University, Chico gives the city a lively college-town atmosphere, and Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., founded here in 1980, remains one of the most influential craft breweries in the country. Surrounding orchards of almonds and walnuts and fields of rice make agriculture a major business, while health care, education and retail serve a large region of smaller towns.

Chico is about an hour and a half north of Sacramento and three hours or more from the Bay Area, so private flying makes sense for agricultural buyers, lenders, university visitors and families with students at Chico State. Chico Regional Airport sits just north of town, a few minutes from downtown and the orchards. Visitors come to swim in Big Chico Creek in Bidwell Park, tour the brewery, walk the leafy campus and downtown, and head into the foothills to Lake Oroville and the Feather River canyon.
