Private Jet Burbank to Sedona

The route between Burbank and Sedona measures around 330 nautical miles, carrying travellers from the Los Angeles basin eastward over the deserts of California and Arizona to the red-rock country of the Colorado Plateau. A light jet or very light jet suits the sector well, though Sedona’s short mesa-top runway rewards careful aircraft selection, and models such as the Embraer Phenom 300 or the nimble Phenom 100 are well matched to both the distance and the field. These aircraft cruise in the low forties of thousands of feet, clearing the desert thermals and delivering a swift passage of around three-quarters of an hour. Their compact, well-appointed cabins suit couples and small groups bound for a wilderness retreat. Departures are handled from Hollywood Burbank Airport, a convenient gateway on the northern edge of the Los Angeles basin. Arrival is at Sedona Airport, dramatically sited atop a mesa with commanding views over the surrounding canyons, a runway often described as one of the most scenic in the country. Sedona itself is renowned for its towering sandstone formations, its hiking trails and its long association with wellness and the arts, drawing visitors to spa resorts and galleries set amid the red rocks. The route suits those seeking a swift escape from the city to the desert, whether for a spa weekend, a hiking expedition or the simple pleasure of the landscape. The short-field performance of a light jet makes reaching Sedona’s mesa an efficient affair, sparing travellers the long drive north from Phoenix. For guests drawn to the quiet grandeur of northern Arizona, the sector offers a discreet and direct way to arrive among the canyons.
