Arizona & the Desert Southwest
Scottsdale, from October 2026
Little Hawk Logistics arranges charter from Scottsdale Airport (SDL) beginning in October 2026, on flights operated by 45 North Flight under FAA Air Carrier Certificate 9CCA698M, bringing single-engine turboprop charter to Arizona and the Desert Southwest. Arizona is served from our existing three-aircraft TBM fleet, with the 2017 TBM 910 N910VM hangared at Scottsdale as the western aircraft.
Why the TBM works out here
- 330 knots — Southwest distances at close to light-jet speed
- Access to mountain and desert airports the airline network does not serve
- Three in five of the airports we have flown into have no scheduled airline service
- More than forty airports flown with less than 4,000 feet of runway
- Airline and fractional-world standards, on 45 North Flight’s Part 135 programme
- High speed Starlink internet on all flights — keep working, arrive up to date
- Up to five passengers, pressurized and air-conditioned
Scottsdale Airport is among the busiest general aviation airports in the United States and one of very few business-aviation airports inside a major metropolitan area. The City of Scottsdale’s own airport master plan forecasts charter passenger growth of 8.8 percent a year, roughly three times the rate it projects for total airport operations.
