Personal Flight Management
The speed of a personal jet, without the second job of running one.
A well-run Citation is one of the great time machines in business. But behind every effortless departure is scheduling, crewing, maintenance tracking, records, insurance, fuel, and compliance. That's our job — done with the care of an owner, because we are owners and pilots ourselves.
Crew & Schedule
Your trip, professionally supported
Type-experienced crews, thoughtful trip planning, and clear communication — coordinated around your schedule with the practical judgment aviation requires.
Maintenance & Records
Managed before it becomes urgent
From inspection planning to shop coordination and logbook oversight, we keep the aircraft's maintenance picture organized and visible — so decisions are made with time, context, and options.
Costs & Coordination
The operation stays visible
Fuel programs, insurance, monthly flight logs, and upcoming maintenance needs are organized and communicated — so you understand what is happening without having to manage it yourself.
Home Field Advantage
St. Louis is home.
We're based in our corporate hangar at St. Louis Downtown Airport — minutes across the river from the Arch — with operations at Spirit of St. Louis in Chesterfield. Since 2013, Gateway Jets has grown into one of the region's most experienced Citation-focused management teams, built one relationship at a time.
Fleet Focus
We specialize in the Citation line — because we fly it.
Depth beats breadth. Our team has thousands of hours in these airframes, and it shows in fewer surprises, better planning, and a smoother ownership experience.

Where your schedule can go
Intelligent Ownership
Charter gets you access. Jet cards sell convenience. Fractional gives you a share. Ownership gives you control.
For the right owner, a well-managed Citation is often the smarter long-term answer — your aircraft, your crew, your schedule, your standards. Gateway Jets helps make ownership practical by managing the details that determine whether an aircraft feels like an asset or a burden: crew, maintenance, planning, hangar, records, costs, and day-to-day support.
