Private Jet Charter from SMQ

Fly private from Somerset Airport

Somerset Airport (SMQ) is a privately owned, non-towered general aviation field tucked into the rolling Somerset Hills of Bedminster Township, a corner of central New Jersey known for corporate headquarters, equestrian estates, and some of the region's most exclusive residential communities. For Élan Aviation clients with business or homes in the Bedminster, Far Hills, and Basking Ridge area, it offers a private, low-traffic alternative to the region's busier towered fields.

The airport's 3,700-foot runway is sized for light jets, turboprops, and piston aircraft, and its single FBO, Somerset Air Service, provides fuel, line service, and hangar coordination for based and transient operators. The field's rural setting and modest traffic volume make it a favorite for owners who prioritize discretion and quick ramp access over runway length.

Given its runway dimensions, Élan Aviation positions Somerset primarily for light jet and turboprop operations serving the immediate Somerset Hills market, while routing midsize and large-cabin jet itineraries to nearby Morristown Municipal Airport, roughly a dozen miles to the southeast.
