Flying private to Augusta
Augusta Regional (AGS) takes most jets, about 2,100 of the more than 3,000 expected in 2026. Daniel Field (DNL) is closest to Augusta National, with Aiken (AIK) and Thomson-McDuffie (HQU) as alternatives and Columbia (CAE) as the overflow. Book parking and prior permission with each FBO.
Masters week is one of the busiest weeks in US business aviation. About 3,900 charter flights served the 2025 tournament, and Flexjet put total movements in 2026 week at close to 4,000.
AGS closes a runway during the week and uses it for parking; Aiken does the same. Daniel Field and Aiken get temporary towers.
Arrivals are metered and ground delays are possible, so build in time on the way in.
