Cabo San Lucas is one of the most popular private jet destinations in Mexico, and the first decision on any trip is which airport you fly into. Fly Bitlux is a private jet charter broker — we arrange your flight on vetted ARGUS- and Wyvern-rated operators and handle the airport choice, Mexican entry paperwork, and ground transfer end to end.
SJD is the gateway for nearly all private jet traffic to Cabo. It has long runways that handle everything from light jets to heavy, ultra-long-range aircraft, multiple FBOs, and full customs and immigration for international arrivals. It sits near San José del Cabo, about a 30–40 minute drive from downtown Cabo San Lucas. If you’re flying in from the US or internationally, this is almost certainly your airport.
Despite the name, CSL is a small private airfield much closer to downtown Cabo San Lucas, with a shorter runway and no scheduled service. It requires the operator’s prior permission and suits only smaller aircraft — it does not handle the larger cabins or the international customs clearance that most charter trips need. For the vast majority of private jet charters, SJD is the right field; CSL is a niche option for light aircraft already cleared into Mexico.
International private arrivals clear customs and immigration at SJD. Operators must file APIS (advance passenger information) before departure, and Mexico has moved to a largely paperless process for air arrivals. Foreign-registered aircraft need the proper permits and documentation, and passengers need a valid passport (and, depending on nationality, an FMM/visitor permit). Your Fly Bitlux desk coordinates APIS, permits, handling, and the FBO so your arrival is compliant and quick.
