Private Jet Charter from DXR

Fly private from Danbury Municipal Airport

Danbury Municipal Airport (DXR) is a city-owned, towered reliever field in western Connecticut, serving the Danbury, Ridgefield, and New Milford communities as well as the northern Fairfield County corridor. Its dual-runway layout and instrument approach give Élan Aviation clients a reliable option for light jet and turboprop travel year-round, including in the region's harsher winter weather.

The airport hosts full-service FBOs, Business Aircraft Center and Danbury Aviation, which together provide fuel, hangar and ramp parking, and dedicated passenger facilities for private and corporate flyers. Its location just off I-84 offers quick access to both the Danbury business district and the Litchfield Hills, making it a practical choice for clients with second homes or offices in the region.

Because its runways are best matched to light jets, turboprops, and piston aircraft, Élan Aviation typically routes midsize and large-cabin jet itineraries to nearby Westchester County Airport, about 20 miles south, while using Danbury for regional trips and clients who prioritize its shorter ground commute to western Connecticut.
