The Masters swings open Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, and local airports are ready for thousands of private jets carrying visitors to the major event.

Airports are expecting more than 3,000 jets to land, which would set a record.

The Masters is the largest event of the year for private jet providers, and bookings for flights to the Masters, which runs through Sunday, are up 20% to 40%, according to CNBC.

In addition to reaching Augusta Regional Airport, some people are flying into Thomson-McDuffie Regional Airport and South Carolina’s Aiken Regional Airport, both within 50 miles of Georgia’s hot golf spot.

Augusta Regional Airport alone is expecting around 2,100 private jets to come in over the course of the week, Herbert Judon Jr., the facility’s executive director, told Town & Country magazine.

NetJets Aviation has built a private terminal there to help accommodate Masters-related traffic.

“Augusta is a key destination for NetJets owners. This new facility reflects our commitment to providing elevated, seamless service for owners,” NetJets President Patrick Gallagher said.

The company is expecting 775 flights into Augusta for this week’s Masters, according to The Augusta Chronicle.

Competitor Flexjet has a private terminal at Thomson-McDuffie, and its bookings are up 5%-8% compared with 2025. Flexjet Executive Vice President of Sales D.J. Hanlon told Town & Country, “The sheer volume that goes through Augusta every year is always outlandish. That week probably sees close to 4,000 aircraft movements over a really condensed time.”

Other private jet companies are also reporting increased demand.

“I feel like they keep getting there earlier and earlier every year. Because obviously golf is Thursday to Sunday, but you’re seeing people come in as early as Easter, which is kind of wild this year,” Jet Linx Vice President of Marketing Nicole Swickle told Front Office Sports.
