Why a midsize jet fits this trip
Midsize jets like the Hawker 800XP or Citation XLS+ make this 1241 nm leg nonstop with eight passengers. The Hawker 800XP cruises at 447 knots and has a 2540 nm range, so it clears the distance with reserves. The Citation XLS+ is slightly slower but offers 90 cubic feet of baggage, handy for golf clubs and ski bags. Both have cabins around 5 ft 8 in to 5 ft 9 in tall.
A light jet is cheaper at an estimated $15500 to $23500, but it must stop for fuel, stretching the trip to about 4 hours 05 minutes. A super-midsize or heavy jet cuts time to about 3 hours 04 minutes and adds cabin height, but the price climbs to $22000 or more. For most travelers, the midsize balance of range, comfort, and cost is the sweet spot on this route.

Leaving Nashville
Nashville International Airport (KBNA) is the main departure point, with an 11030 ft runway that handles every jet class. Private flights use the general aviation terminal, so you avoid the commercial queues. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes before departure; your operator will confirm the FBO and handling details.
If you live south of the city, consider a smaller reliever field to cut drive time; the trade-off is fewer onsite services. Most midsize and larger jets prefer KBNA because of its runway length and instrument approaches. In winter, de-icing can add a short delay before takeoff, so build a little slack into tight connections.
Arriving in Scottsdale
Scottsdale Airport (KSDL) is the closest arrival point, with an 8249 ft runway and a pattern that favors midsize and light jets. It sits right by the Airpark, minutes from Old Town, Kierland, and most resorts. Heavy jets sometimes need to use Phoenix Sky Harbor (KPHX) because of runway length and noise rules, so check your aircraft type before booking.
Mesa Gateway (KIWA) and Falcon Field (KFFZ) are alternatives, but their runways of 10401 ft and 5100 ft respectively suit different aircraft. KIWA handles larger jets but is a longer drive to Scottsdale. KFFZ is limited to lighter aircraft. Your operator will pick the field that fits your jet and the day's conditions, then arrange ground transport.
| Airport | Code | Runway |
|---|---|---|
| Nashville International Airport | KBNA / BNA | 11,030 ft |
| Mesa Gateway Airport | KIWA / AZA | 10,401 ft |
| Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport | KPHX / PHX | 11,489 ft |
| Scottsdale Airport | KSDL / SCF | 8,249 ft |
| Falcon Field | KFFZ / MSC | 5,100 ft |
When Nashville to Scottsdale prices peak
Demand on this private jet Nashville to Scottsdale leg peaks from January through April, when Scottsdale fills for the WM Phoenix Open and the Barrett-Jackson auction. Prices can run well above the base estimate in those weeks, and midsize jets are usually the first to go. If your dates land on a major event week, then lock the aircraft as soon as the schedule is firm rather than waiting on a better number.
For the return leg, book two to three weeks out if you need a specific departure time from Scottsdale. One-way quotes can move because an empty repositioning leg may or may not exist that day, so a same-day round trip usually prices higher than two one-ways: the crew waits on the ground. If you can shift departure by a few hours, then the quote often improves. Summer heat in Scottsdale reduces performance for light jets more than for the midsize aircraft that fly this route most often.
