Which Portland FBO is the best fit for a midsize jet?

Atlantic Aviation PDX at Portland International is the standard for midsize and heavy jets because the 11,000-foot runway 10R/28L accommodates any business jet category. Hillsboro Aviation at HIO handles light and midsize jets cleanly with its 6,600-foot runway. Aurora State Airport runs a 5,000-foot runway and is the right fit for light jets, turboprops, and piston aircraft.

Where should a Marquee chauffeur stage for a private jet pickup?

Atlantic Aviation PDX pickups stage at the FBO ramp on the south side of the field, with the chauffeur cleared through the FBO security gate after tail-number confirmation. Hillsboro Aviation pickups stage at the HIO FBO entrance off NE 25th Avenue. Aurora pickups stage at the Aurora Aviation FBO ramp accessed through the Airport Way entrance. Each FBO has its own protocol; dispatch coordinates with the FBO line crew before the chauffeur arrives.

How far is each Portland FBO from downtown Portland?

Atlantic Aviation PDX is roughly 12 miles and 20 minutes from downtown via I-205 or I-84. Hillsboro Aviation HIO is roughly 17 miles and 25 to 35 minutes from downtown via US-26 depending on rush hour. Aurora State Airport is roughly 25 miles and 30 to 40 minutes south of downtown via I-5. Marquee dispatch advises adding 10 to 15 minutes of buffer for rush-hour pickups at HIO and Aurora.

Do Marquee chauffeurs need separate badging at each FBO?

Marquee chauffeurs hold standing access at Atlantic Aviation PDX, Hillsboro Aviation, and Aurora Aviation through the dispatch coordination process. The chauffeur arrives, confirms the tail number with the FBO line crew, and stages in the assigned FBO ramp pickup zone. No separate guest badging is required for the passenger — the FBO lounge and ramp are part of the private aviation experience and the handoff happens cleanly between the FBO line crew and the chauffeur at the aircraft door.

Is the chauffeur rate different at each FBO?

No. Marquee fleet pricing holds at every Portland FBO — the Volvo S90 at $110 per hour, the Cadillac Escalade ESV at $135, and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter at $165. The drive distance from downtown to each FBO is the variable that affects total cost, not the FBO itself. A Volvo S90 pickup at Aurora typically runs slightly longer total time than the same pickup at Atlantic Aviation PDX simply because of the extra drive south on I-5.
