Private Jet Charter from ZIH

Fly private from Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport is the gateway to the twin resort towns of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo on Guerrero's Pacific coast, a quieter alternative to Mexico's larger beach destinations. Scheduled service is concentrated on domestic routes with seasonal U.S. and Canadian flying during winter months.

Élan Aviation arranges private charter flights into and out of ZIH, coordinating aircraft, crew, and ground handling so travelers can reach Ixtapa's resort hotels or Zihuatanejo's bay-front town without routing through a larger connecting hub. Suitable aircraft typically range from light jets to midsize and super-midsize jets given the runway length.

Because ZIH sees lighter traffic than Mexico's major resort airports, Élan Aviation confirms fuel availability, FBO handling, and customs coordination in advance of each private charter, particularly for trips outside the winter high season.

Why depart privately from ZIH?

  • Reach a quieter Pacific coast resort area without a connecting flight
  • Time your arrival to resort check-in in Ixtapa or Zihuatanejo
  • Select an aircraft sized to your group, baggage, and trip distance
  • Avoid the seasonal capacity limits of scheduled airline service
  • Coordinate ground transportation through one charter advisor
