Many locals still call it Charlie Brown Field, after the Atlanta politician the airport was named for. Sports teams, touring artists, production crews and executives fly in here because of that short run to Downtown and Midtown, and because the airport is right by I-20 and I-285 for trips across the metro.

We plan transfers for one passenger or a whole team: sedans and SUVs for executives, Sprinters and mini buses for groups, and a separate vehicle for equipment when the bags will not fit with the people. For celebration and VIP arrivals in a stretch limousine or limo Sprinter, see our FTY airport limo service.

About Fulton County Airport–Brown Field

Fulton County Airport–Brown Field is owned by Fulton County and sits on the west side of Atlanta, near Fulton Industrial Boulevard and the interchange of I-20 and I-285. It serves corporate, charter and private aircraft, and its location makes it the general-aviation airport closest to Downtown Atlanta.

The neighborhoods around it include the Westside, Mableton, Austell and the Cascade area, and Tyler Perry Studios in southwest Atlanta is a short drive away. Downtown, the Georgia World Congress Center, State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium are all within about 20 minutes outside rush hour.

How a Brown Field pickup works

Private and charter flights do not use a terminal curb or a baggage carousel, so a pickup at Brown Field is planned around the fixed-base operator (FBO) where your aircraft parks. These are the steps for every FTY arrival.

As a Fulton County Airport car service, every FTY car service booking is set up around the FBO. Locals searching for Charlie Brown airport transportation are looking for exactly this.

Book with the tail number and FBO

Send the date, the estimated arrival time, the tail number or flight details, the FBO name at Brown Field, the passenger count and the bag count. If you do not know the FBO yet, your flight department or charter operator can confirm it; we can update the booking later.

We follow the flight

Private flights often move by thirty minutes or more. With the tail number on the booking, the pickup time follows the actual arrival rather than the time you first sent, so the chauffeur is ready when the aircraft is on the ground and you do not pay for a car that waited for a delayed departure.

You receive the chauffeur details

Before the flight lands you receive the chauffeur’s name, phone number and vehicle. The chauffeur checks in at the FBO and waits in the lobby or at the vehicle, according to the FBO’s procedure.

Bags loaded, straight to your destination

The chauffeur loads the luggage, golf bags or equipment and drives you directly to your hotel, office, home or venue. Extra stops can be added to the same reservation.

FTY airport car service for teams, artists and executives

Team charter transportation in Atlanta is one of the most common bookings at Brown Field, because the run to the arenas is so short.

Sports teams and visiting clubs

Team charters often arrive at Brown Field ahead of games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena. Mini buses and Sprinters carry players and staff; a separate vehicle can take equipment directly to the venue. See group transportation.

Touring artists and production crews

Performers and crews heading to arenas, theaters and studios across the city, with a vehicle on standby for the length of the stay if needed. See event transportation.

Executives and corporate visitors

Short, quiet transfers to Downtown and Midtown offices and hotels, often with the car kept for the day. See black car service.

Convention and event VIPs

Speakers and guests flying in for events at the Georgia World Congress Center, met at the FBO and taken straight to the venue or hotel.

Private jet car service to Downtown Atlanta, Midtown and the venues

Brown Field sits near the I-20 and I-285 interchange on the west side of the city. These are typical drive times outside rush hour; on event days, Downtown street closures can change the route, and we plan for them.

Brown Field or Hartsfield-Jackson?

Hartsfield-Jackson handles the airline traffic for the whole region, which means long walks, security lines and busy curbs. Fulton County Airport–Brown Field serves private, corporate and charter aircraft, so passengers step off the aircraft, walk through the FBO and are in the car within minutes. For anything in Downtown or Midtown, Brown Field is usually the quickest airport of all, because the drive is short and it avoids the airline crowds entirely.

Vehicles for Brown Field transportation

Most private-aviation passengers at FTY ride in a sedan or an SUV. Full aircraft, crews and teams usually need a Sprinter so everyone and the luggage travel together. For a stretch limousine, a stretch SUV or a limo-style Sprinter, see our FTY airport limo service.

Game days and event weekends

On big event weekends, Downtown traffic and street closures change from hour to hour. When a team or a group of fans flies into Brown Field for a game, we plan the arrival, the hotel and the event as one schedule, with the return pickup point set before the event starts. Groups can book the whole weekend with Mercedes-Benz Stadium transportation.

For the trip home, the departure pickup is set from your flight time and confirmed the evening before, with extra time on days when a big event is ending.

Car service to FTY for private departures

Private departures run on a very different clock from airline flights. There is no two-hour check-in: charter operators and flight departments commonly ask passengers to arrive at the FBO 15 to 30 minutes before departure, and some flights leave as soon as everyone is on board. Always follow your operator’s instruction; we build the pickup time from it.

We set the pickup from your address using the arrival time your operator gives, the drive to Brown Field at that hour and a margin for traffic on I-20 and I-285. The chauffeur drives straight to the FBO entrance, unloads the bags and, where the FBO allows it, hands them to the line staff for loading.

  • Pickup confirmed the evening before
  • Bags handed to FBO staff where allowed
  • Same reservation for the return flight
  • Changes to wheels-up time update the pickup

Rideshare or a booked car at Brown Field?

Rideshare apps work at FTY, but general-aviation airports are quieter places than Hartsfield-Jackson. There may be few drivers nearby, an app may route the driver to the wrong entrance, and after a late or early arrival the wait can be long. A booked car removes those variables: the chauffeur knows the FBO, is already there when you land and the price is fixed in advance.

Met me right where instructed, and even helped me because I got lost. I was flying to Atlanta for the first time and he was very helpful. Carried my bags and made the trip very simple for me, the actual car ride itself was lovely, offered me water, made sure I was content and happy above all else. Great conversationalist, as well as very comfortable to be around. I find myself to be a very antisocial person very shy. But with him I felt safe and comfortable. His music taste was pretty good too!!
