Private charter to & from Des Moines

Des Moines is Iowa’s capital and largest city, and one of the country’s leading centers for insurance and financial services. Principal Financial Group, Wellmark and a long list of insurers, banks and agricultural companies have headquarters or major offices here, and state government adds a steady stream of officials and advocates. Every four years the city becomes a focus of national politics during the run-up to the Iowa caucuses, and its downtown has been revitalized with riverfront trails, a sculpture park, restaurants and new housing.

Des Moines sits in the center of the state, about two hours from Omaha and three and a half from Minneapolis or Kansas City by car, and airline schedules often require a connection. Des Moines International Airport is only a few miles from downtown, so a private flight can connect insurance and agribusiness meetings across the Midwest in a single day. Visitors come for the gold-domed Capitol, the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, the Des Moines Art Center, the Saturday downtown farmers’ market and the Iowa State Fair each August.
