Pickups and deliveries at Dallas-area airports, from a ferry service based right here in the metroplex.
Settle Ferry Group is based in Dallas-Fort Worth. When your airplane sits at a Dallas-area airport, the pilot does not need an airline ticket to reach it, and that removes one of the bigger variables in a ferry quote.
Trips from Dallas to anywhere in the lower 48 are quoted the same way: a pilot day rate for the days the trip takes, plus fuel, fees and travel along the route.
Common general aviation airports in the area. Any public-use airport the airplane can safely operate from is fair game.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Class B airspace covers most of the metro, with DFW International and Dallas Love Field underneath it. A departure from almost any Dallas-area airport starts with airspace planning and radio work with approach control.
For a pilot flying an airplane for the first time, that means reviewing the panel and radios on the ground before engine start, and choosing routes that keep workload manageable in the busiest corridors.
Dallas has one of the largest general aviation communities in Texas, and the ferry requests reflect it.
Point to point relocation for piston singles and twins that are legal to fly, anywhere in the lower 48.
Bought an airplane two states away? It gets flown from the seller's airport to yours.
The dual hours your insurance company requires, flown with a certificated flight instructor, often on the trip home.
Runs to and from annuals, avionics installs, paint and repair shops, including airplanes flying on a ferry permit.
Love Field serves general aviation alongside its airline traffic through the fixed base operators on the field, so a ferry flight can start or end there like at any other public-use airport. The details are what make it different from a smaller field. Love Field sits under the Dallas-Fort Worth Class B airspace, has busy airline operations, and its ramp access, parking and handling fees are set by the fixed base operator where the airplane is parked. Those fees are often higher at a major airport than at a reliever such as Addison or McKinney, and they get factored into the quote. Arrivals and departures also involve more coordination with air traffic control, which a ferry pilot plans for in advance. If your airplane is based at Love Field or is being sold there, tell us which fixed base operator it is parked with when you request a quote. That lets the pilot confirm access, fees and timing before the trip.
As early as you know the airplane needs to move, even if the exact date is still uncertain. A ferry trip has several parts that take time before the flight itself: confirming the airplane's airworthiness status, lining up any special flight permit, making sure insurance covers the pilot, and coordinating with the shop, seller or buyer on the other end. Weather is the other reason to plan ahead, since a firm deadline leaves no room for a storm system to pass. North Texas spring weather in particular can hold flights for days at a time. Starting from Dallas does help with timing, because the pilot does not need to arrange airline travel to reach the airplane, but the other steps still apply. When you request a quote, share whether your date is firm or flexible. A flexible window lets the trip fly on the best weather day, and a firm deadline gets planned with a buffer so the airplane arrives on time.
