Fly private from Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport

Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport sits at the geographic heart of Silicon Valley, five miles from downtown San Jose and minutes from the campuses of the region's largest technology employers. Signature Flight Support and Atlantic Aviation operate full-service FBOs on the field, giving private travelers dedicated ramp access, lounges, and ground coordination separate from the commercial terminals.

Élan Aviation coordinates aircraft, crew, and ground handling for trips through SJC across the full spectrum of light, midsize, and heavy jets, matching aircraft to mission length whether the trip is a same-day hop to Los Angeles or a long-range departure toward Asia.

With on-site CBP clearance and a runway long enough for the largest business aircraft, SJC works for nearly any private trip touching Silicon Valley. Its shorter ground transfer to major tech campuses makes it the preferred choice over San Francisco International for most business travel in the area, and early planning helps secure ramp space during peak weekday commuting hours.
