Arriving at the Atlantic Aviation FBO at RYY
McCollum Field runs a single full-service FBO, Atlantic Aviation, on the west side of the field off Cobb International Boulevard. That simplicity is part of why north-metro flight departments like it: one lobby, one line crew, no terminal confusion.
- Chauffeur checks in at the Atlantic Aviation front desk before your aircraft is on final.
- Standard meet is in the FBO lobby; planeside loading when the line crew authorizes ramp access.
- Vehicle staged in the FBO lot, engine running and climate set, so there is no wait at the door.
- Late-night and pre-dawn arrivals covered, our team does not keep FBO hours.
Why North-Metro Clients Choose RYY Over PDK
If your destination is north or west of the Perimeter, RYY almost always beats PDK on ground time. A PDK arrival headed to Marietta or Kennesaw means crossing I-285 in whatever traffic the hour brings, routinely 30 to 50 minutes of driving that an RYY arrival simply skips.
McCollum Field is also the natural gateway for North Georgia. Lake Allatoona is under half an hour away, and the run up I-575 to Blue Ridge, Ellijay, and the mountain cabin corridor is a comfortable Sprinter ride rather than an endurance test in a sedan.
The tradeoff runs the other way for downtown and southside destinations, where PDK or FTY will usually be quicker. If you are choosing between fields, tell us your destination and we will tell you honestly which one lands you closer.
Which Vehicle Fits Your RYY Party
- 1–3 passengers with light bags, Suburban SUV for the fastest turn at the FBO door.
- 4–8 passengers, executive travel, Sprinter Executive with facing captain's chairs and worktable.
- 8–14 passengers, groups and family trips, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Limousine with full luggage capacity.
- North Georgia long-haul, Sprinter configuration with cargo space retained for skis, clubs, and cabin gear.

Not a Corporation. A Family.

Cobb County International Airport is approximately 35–45 minutes north of downtown Atlanta depending on traffic, and roughly 25 minutes from Buckhead.

Where does the chauffeur meet us at McCollum Field?
Atlantic Aviation's terminal is on the west side of the field off Cobb International Boulevard. Your chauffeur checks in at the front desk and stages in the FBO lot, then meets you in the lobby, or moves planeside when the line crew authorizes ramp access for your tail.
Is RYY a better choice than PDK for a north-metro destination?
Usually yes. If you are headed to Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, Cartersville, Lake Allatoona, or the North Georgia mountains, RYY saves you the I-285 crossing that a PDK arrival requires, often 30 minutes or more in afternoon traffic.
Can you handle a group arriving at RYY on multiple aircraft?
Yes. We stage vehicles against each tail number separately and hold the group in the FBO lounge until everyone is on the ground, then depart together.
Do you provide as-directed hourly service from RYY?
Yes. Hourly-as-directed is common for clients flying into McCollum Field for a day of site visits or meetings across Cobb and Bartow counties, with the chauffeur and vehicle staying with you between stops. Hourly service has a 4-hour minimum.
What if our flight into RYY diverts or arrives early?
We track the tail number rather than a scheduled time. An early arrival, a hold, or a diversion to PDK or FTY all reach your chauffeur automatically, and we reposition without you needing to call.
