Private charter to & from Athens

Athens is home to the University of Georgia, chartered in 1785 as the first state-chartered public university in the country, and the campus shapes nearly everything about the city. Research, healthcare and university business bring a constant flow of visiting faculty, parents, recruiters and donors, while the downtown that borders North Campus is full of restaurants, bars and music venues. Athens also has an outsized place in rock history as the town that produced R.E.M. and the B-52’s, and live music remains a nightly fixture.

Athens is about 70 miles east of Atlanta, but there is no interstate between the two, and on football Saturdays the roads into town are packed for hours before and after kickoff. Flying private into Athens-Ben Epps Airport, a few miles from downtown, means you can arrive for a tailgate, walk to Sanford Stadium and fly home that night. It is just as useful for graduations, recruiting visits and board meetings. Visitors also come for the Georgia Museum of Art, the State Botanical Garden and a food scene that punches well above the size of the town.
