JACKSON HOLE, Wyo., Aug. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On August 21 at 11:35am Jackson Hole, Wyoming will be directly under the totality of the solar eclipse for 2 minutes, 20 seconds.
On the exact centerline of the eclipse totality is Jackson Hole Airport in the southern part of Grand Teton National Park- one of the best places in the country to be part of this event.
The eclipse’s centerline path of totality will pass directly over the airport itself. Private jet traffic surrounding the Aug. 21 date however, will be far from eclipsed.
Private Jet Traffic Expected to Skyrocket
August is peak season and already a busy month for private jet activity in Jackson Hole, with daily private air operations averaging over 50 arrivals or departures.
Headquartered in Jackson Hole is New Flight Charters, a nationwide leader in private jet charter which arranges around 1,400 custom private jet flights per year. The company monitors jet charter activity to and from Jackson Hole and is reporting up to ten times the normal activity of private charter aircraft during this time.
August 18 to 23 is the busiest period, with peak traffic on August 18 and 22.
“Right now, August 18 looks to be busier than a December 26 at the airport,” said New Flight Charters president Rick Colson. “We knew this would be busy but the numbers we are seeing are amazing.”
