Tail Number & FBO
Share your aircraft's tail number and which FBO you're using, Cutter or Swift, so your chauffeur meets the right ramp.
Deer Valley Airport does not run like a commercial terminal, so a ride there should not either. Empire Limos meets private jet passengers, charter groups, and flight school visitors on the ramp at Cutter Aviation or Swift Aviation, tracks the tail number instead of a gate number, and gets you moving through north Phoenix without a terminal line in sight.

There's no commercial curb at Deer Valley, no rows of airline gates, and no shared arrivals hall. Most of what lands here is private and corporate aircraft, along with a steady stream of student pilots working through flight training. That changes how a pickup actually works. Instead of watching a departures board, your chauffeur watches the tail number and coordinates directly with whichever FBO is handling your aircraft.
Empire Limos runs these transfers often enough to know the difference matters. A rideshare driver circling the wrong ramp, or a service that only tracks commercial flight numbers, simply is not built for this airport. Ours is.
A trip request with these three pieces filled in gets matched to a vehicle and chauffeur far faster than one without them.
Share your aircraft's tail number and which FBO you're using, Cutter or Swift, so your chauffeur meets the right ramp.
A quick headcount and a realistic bag estimate keep the vehicle size right, especially for a full crew or charter group.
Give your estimated arrival or departure window so the chauffeur builds in time for north Phoenix traffic on either end.
Deer Valley doesn't hand out boarding passes, and that's kind of the point. It's still one of the busiest general aviation fields in the country.
The City of Phoenix owns the field, and it sees hundreds of thousands of takeoffs and landings a year, almost none of it airline traffic. Private jets, corporate aircraft, and a steady stream of student pilots make up the bulk of it. The longer of the two runways clears 8,000 feet, so it handles anything from a trainer to a mid-size business jet without much trouble. One thing catches people off guard, though: there's no Customs office on site. Fly in internationally, and you'll clear at a different airport first.
The main one, 07R/25L, stretches past 8,000 feet. The other, 07L/25R, is shorter and mostly used for training flights and lighter traffic.
A few of the busiest flight schools in the country operate right here, which explains a lot about why the airspace never really slows down.
International flights can't clear here. You'll need to land at a designated port of entry before continuing on to Deer Valley.
It sits inside Phoenix city limits, close to Anthem and Norterra, about 17 miles north of Sky Harbor.
Deer Valley sees a mix of passengers that a typical airport transfer service is not really set up to handle.
Your chauffeur meets you directly at the FBO ramp after your aircraft parks, no terminal walk required.
A single charter often brings in a full team, so vehicles are sized to move everyone at once.
Students, instructors, and visiting pilots book rides to and from the flight schools based here.
Executives flying in for a same-day meeting keep a chauffeur on standby for the return leg.
Empire Limos lists these vehicle categories for DVT transfers. Availability depends on your date and group size.
Fits a solo passenger or a pair heading straight from the ramp to a meeting or hotel in north Phoenix.
Handles a small group with more luggage, common for a flight crew or a family arriving together.
Moves a full charter group or corporate team from the ramp in a single vehicle instead of several cars.
Available for arrivals tied to a wedding, anniversary, or other event where the ride itself is part of the day.
Since there is no gate or flight number to track here, the process leans on a few different details instead.
Send your tail number, FBO, and estimated arrival or departure time.
A sedan, SUV, or Sprinter is set aside based on your group size.
Your driver arrives early and confirms the correct FBO before you land.
No terminal walk. Your chauffeur meets you where the aircraft parks.
Bags loaded, route confirmed, and you're on your way through Phoenix.
A few other Empire Limos pages worth a look if your travel touches these markets. Landing at Deer Valley for a private trip doesn't rule out a leg through Sky Harbor, or a drive on to Sedona, Flagstaff, or Yuma once you're on the ground.
Answers to what people usually ask before booking a ride to or from DVT.
Deer Valley Airport handles general and business aviation rather than scheduled airline flights. Private jets, corporate aircraft, and flight training traffic make up most of what lands there, which is exactly why Empire Limos built a Deer Valley Airport transfer around FBO pickup instead of a passenger terminal curb.
No, they are two different airports. Sky Harbor handles commercial airline traffic downtown, while Deer Valley Airport sits about 17 miles north and serves private jets, charters, and flight schools. Empire Limos runs transfers to both, but the pickup process at Deer Valley looks nothing like a terminal curb.
Yes. Chauffeurs meet private jet passengers on the ramp at Cutter Aviation or Swift Aviation, Deer Valley Airport's two FBOs, rather than waiting at a shared curb. Your driver tracks the tail number so pickup lines up with your arrival time, not an airline schedule that does not apply.
Empire Limos coordinates pickups and drop-offs at both Fixed Base Operators on the field, Cutter Aviation and Swift Aviation. Each handles ramp access differently, so your chauffeur confirms which FBO your aircraft is using before arrival and positions the vehicle ahead of time for a Deer Valley Airport transfer.
Deer Valley Airport sits roughly 17 miles north of Phoenix Sky Harbor, inside Phoenix city limits near the Anthem and Norterra area. That distance puts most north Phoenix hotels, offices, and homes within a reasonably short drive, though your chauffeur still times departure around traffic on the I-17 corridor.
Yes. Deer Valley Airport is home to some of the busiest flight schools in the country, so Empire Limos books rides for students, instructors, and visiting pilots heading to training there. Just share your pickup address, arrival time, and how many people are traveling when you reserve the ride.
Flight tracking works a little differently at Deer Valley than at a commercial airport. Since most arrivals are private aircraft rather than scheduled airlines, your chauffeur tracks the tail number and coordinates with the FBO handling your flight, adjusting pickup timing around ramp arrival instead of a gate time.
Deer Valley Airport transfers use an executive sedan for a single passenger or small team, a Cadillac Escalade or similar luxury SUV for groups with luggage, or a Sprinter van when a flight crew or larger group needs to move together after landing at either FBO on the field.
Deer Valley Airport runs air traffic control from early morning into midnight, but general aviation and FBO activity can happen outside those hours. Empire Limos keeps chauffeurs available around the clock, so a late charter arrival or an early departure still gets a driver waiting at the right FBO.
It can. A single charter flight into Deer Valley Airport might bring in a corporate team or a group headed to an event, and one Sprinter van or a pair of SUVs covers it. Let us know your passenger count and luggage so the vehicles are on the ramp.
