Fort Collins sits on the Cache La Poudre River at the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills, about 60 miles north of Denver. A private jet charter lets you fly in and out of northern Colorado on your own schedule, from the airport closest to where you are going. This guide covers the airports, the aircraft and how to book a Fort Collins charter with BLADE.
Exploring Fort Collins Private Jet Options
Tailored Private Flights from Fort Collins
With a charter, you book the whole aircraft. You choose the departure airport, the destination, the date and the time, and you fly with only your group. You can plan a same-day round trip, add a stop, or move your departure within the operator's limits.
Selecting Your Ideal Aircraft
Start with three questions: how many people are flying, how far you are going and how much you are bringing. Skis and golf bags take up room.
- Light jets suit short regional trips with a small group.
- Midsize jets add cabin space and range for longer domestic flights.
- Heavy jets suit larger groups and the longest flights.
- Turboprops work well on short hops and at airports with shorter runways.
Booking with a Trusted Charter Broker
A broker arranges your flight with a licensed operator and manages the trip for you. With BLADE Anywhere, BLADE arranges jets, helicopters and turboprops for you and your guests. BLADE acts as an air charter broker and indirect air carrier, and all BLADE flights in the United States are operated by DOT/FAA licensed direct air carriers. BLADE's safety team vets its operator partners, with quarterly audits.
Fort Collins Loveland as a Gateway
Northern Colorado Regional Airport (FNL) is owned by Fort Collins and Loveland. It was known as Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport until April 2016, when it was renamed. FNL and the old Fort Collins-Loveland name refer to the same airport.
Ease of Access to Northern Colorado
FNL is about 10 miles southeast of central Fort Collins and northeast of Loveland, west of Interstate 25. It is best known for serving the tourist areas of northern Colorado, including Rocky Mountain National Park to the west.
Connecting to Major Destinations
Denver is about 55 miles south of FNL. A charter from northern Colorado can take you directly to your destination city, with no connection through a larger hub. Ask BLADE for aircraft options on your route.

The Business Edge: Corporate Private Jet Charters
Efficient Business Travel
A charter can take your team to meetings in more than one city and home again the same day. You leave when the meeting ends, not when the airline's last flight departs.
Working on Board
Only your team is on board, so you can talk freely and prepare on the way. If you need Wi-Fi, confirm that the aircraft you choose has it.
Cost and Booking
Charter is priced per trip, not per seat. Distance, aircraft type and the date you fly drive the price, and a full aircraft lowers the cost per person. BLADE's private jet charter cost estimator shows aircraft options and an estimated price based on your airports, the distance and the date.
- Open the BLADE app or go to blade.com and choose a charter.
- Enter your origin and destination, the date, the time and the number of fliers.
- Review the aircraft options and request the flight.
A dedicated flier-relations advocate manages and monitors your trip and is available 24/7. For help, call BLADE Flier Relations at +1 844-359-2523.
