The journey should be just as enjoyable as the destination. With the ability to bypass long lines, crowded gates and unpredictable airline schedules, private aviation offers a more polished approach.
Through a partnership with JetTech Charters, Buffalo River Aviation is helping Arkansas travelers reach their destinations with greater flexibility, privacy and ease. Whether flying for business or pleasure, the charter experience redefines what it means to travel in comfort.
THE PERKS
Time, and what you do with it. There are no early airport arrivals, no security lines and no connections through a hub. Travelers can drive up, have their bags loaded as they board and be airborne minutes later. From Arkansas, passengers can be in Las Vegas in little more than two hours or stepping onto a beach in Turks and Caicos in less than four. Business travelers often cite the ability to finish a full day of meetings out of state and still sleep in their own bed at night as one of the greatest advantages of flying private.
“We fly families on vacation, executives and their teams, medical trips and everything in between. What our clients share is a desire for travel to be effortless,” CMO Kyle Proctor says. “Our goal is to be the least stressful part of your day. Tell us who is flying and what the trip is for, and we handle the rest, from catering to ground transportation to a car seat installed and waiting for the youngest passenger.”
THE AIRCRAFT
The Citation Sovereign, featured here, is Buffalo River Aviation’s flagship aircraft. It offers transcontinental range with seating for up to nine passengers in a stand-up cabin. Italian leather seating, burled wood accents and a full refreshment center complement a remarkably quiet ride, making long flights fly by. The aircraft is equally suited for a quick regional trip or a nonstop run to either coast.
THE COMPANY
Buffalo River Aviation was founded in 2022 by Arkansas pilots who felt private travel should feel more personal. With locations in Bentonville and North Little Rock, the company provides private jet and turboprop charter service throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean, along with aircraft management for owners.
As a partner of Make-A-Wish Mid-South, Buffalo River Aviation recently flew its first Wish family to Walt Disney World and hopes to grant more wishes in the future. This June, the company flew Special Olympics Arkansas athletes to and from Minnesota for the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games.
