Part 135 Charter Operators in Kentucky

Kentucky's charter aviation market serves diverse industries including bourbon distilling, horse racing, healthcare, and manufacturing, with Louisville International Airport (SDF) and Blue Grass Airport (LEX) in Lexington as primary hubs. The Kentucky Derby creates the state's largest annual charter demand spike, with operators from across the nation converging on Louisville for the race weekend.

Lexington's role as the center of the Thoroughbred racing industry generates year-round charter traffic for horse owners, trainers, and racing professionals traveling to tracks nationwide. The bourbon industry creates specialized charter demand for distillery executives and international business visitors touring Kentucky's bourbon trail. UPS's Worldport hub at Louisville International creates opportunities for cargo charter operations, while the state's healthcare and manufacturing sectors drive business charter demand.
