Reading Regional (RDG) Airport Charter Bus Rental Service

Charter Bus Rental Service to and from Reading Regional (RDG) Airport

When a wedding party, sales team, or school group lands at Berks County's home airfield, the ride out of the terminal sets the tone for the whole trip. Our Pennsylvania airport charter bus service delivers Reading Regional (RDG) Airport Charter Bus Rental Service to groups arriving at Carl A. Spaatz Field by private jet, air charter, or corporate shuttle, with licensed drivers who know Bernville Road, Route 183, and the quickest routes into downtown Reading.

Union Limousine has moved travelers across the Northeast since 1997, and we bring that experience to Bern Township every day. Every quote is flat, every vehicle is inspected before dispatch, and every driver follows your arrival details so the coach is parked, cooled, or warmed before your group reaches the door. From a three person executive visit to a 56 passenger conference delegation, we match the right vehicle to the headcount and the luggage.

Group Travel Out of RDG Made Simple

Reading Regional sits three miles northwest of downtown Reading, which puts Wyomissing, West Reading, Sinking Spring, Leesport, and Shillington within a short drive. Executives from Penske, Quest Diagnostics, and other Berks County employers fly in regularly, and weekend traffic swells whenever the Mid Atlantic Air Museum hosts its June World War II Weekend. A single coach keeps a group together, saves the cost of several rental cars, and removes parking worries at hotels, venues, and campuses.

Groups We Carry from Carl A. Spaatz Field

• Corporate teams visiting Berks County offices, plants, and distribution centers, with onboard power and WiFi on select coaches.
• Wedding parties and guests moving between the airfield, Wyomissing hotels, and reception venues across the Oley Valley.
• Sports teams and fans traveling to Albright College, Alvernia University, Penn State Berks, or Kutztown University events.
• Air show visitors, aviation expo attendees, and museum tour groups arriving for events on the field.
• Leisure travelers returning from Florida charters who want one ride home to Reading, Lancaster, or the Lehigh Valley.
• Private jet passengers and flight crews who need an executive sedan or SUV waiting at the Reading Aviation ramp.

Fleet Options for Reading Regional Airport Groups

Union Limousine keeps a fleet that scales from a quiet sedan to a full size motorcoach. Choose the vehicle below that fits your headcount, bags, and schedule, and our dispatch team will confirm every detail before your flight.

Executive Sedans (1 to 3 Passengers)

Sedans seat up to three passengers with trunk space for two or three suitcases. They suit a solo executive stepping off a business jet, a couple heading to a Wyomissing hotel, or a client meeting at a Reading headquarters.

Luxury SUVs (4 to 6 Passengers)

SUVs carry up to six riders and fit golf bags, camera cases, and extra luggage with ease. Families returning from a charter, small leadership teams, and flight crews bound for an overnight hotel book them most often.

Stretch Limousines (8 to 20 Passengers)

Stretch limousines hold up to 20 guests for arrivals that call for style. Bridal parties, anniversary groups, and VIP guests flying in for a gala at the Santander Performing Arts Center enjoy leather seating, ambient lighting, and a chilled bar area.

Sprinter Vans (7 to 14 Passengers)

Sprinter vans move up to 14 passengers with tall ceilings, forward facing seats, and a rear luggage area. Wedding shuttles, golf outings around Berks County, and midsize corporate groups heading to off site meetings rely on them.

Party Buses (15 to 30 Passengers)

Party buses carry up to 30 riders with perimeter seating, premium sound, and LED lighting. Bachelor and bachelorette groups, milestone birthdays, and tasting tours along the Berks County Wine Trail make the most of the ride.

Mini Charter Buses (20 to 35 Passengers)

Mini charter buses seat up to 35 passengers with reclining seats and dedicated luggage space. Youth sports teams, church groups, and conference breakout groups traveling to Kutztown, Hamburg, or Lancaster County favor this size.

Full Size Charter Buses (36 to 56 Passengers)

Full size charter buses hold up to 56 passengers with undercarriage luggage bays, climate control, and restrooms on most coaches. School trips, marching bands, convention delegations, and large wedding guest lists travel together in one vehicle.

Reading Regional (RDG) Airport Information for Arriving Groups

 

History and Importance of RDG

Local leaders selected the Bern Township site in 1934, and the field was dedicated in October 1939 before a crowd of about 103,000 spectators. TWA started daily service in August 1941, and during World War II the government expanded the grounds into the Reading Army Air Base, where warplanes returning from overseas were serviced. The City of Reading took over operations in 1946, a new terminal and restaurant opened in 1961, and the Reading Air Shows of the 1970s ranked among the most famous aviation gatherings anywhere.

The field honors General Carl A. Spaatz, a Berks County native who became the first Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force. Today the authority manages roughly 665 acres with a stated goal of becoming the leading regional airport in Pennsylvania for economic impact, and a PennDOT study placed its local impact near $77 million.

Airlines and Charter Service at RDG

RDG has not hosted a scheduled airline since US Airways Express flights operated by Air Midwest ended on September 3, 2004. The field now supports business aviation, private air charter, flight training, and seasonal leisure charters arranged through Boscov's Travel, which have included Florida getaways to Orlando. Airport leaders have discussed bringing commercial flights back, so confirm any new route with the airport before planning around it.

Domestic Destinations and Nearby Scheduled Flights

With no scheduled nonstop routes at RDG, most Berks County flyers connect through larger airports nearby. Lehigh Valley International sits roughly 45 miles northeast, Harrisburg International about 55 miles west, and Philadelphia International around 70 miles southeast. Groups flying commercial into Allentown can reserve ABE airport charter bus rental for that leg and still reach Reading in about an hour.

Terminal and Field Facilities

RDG operates from a single terminal building beside the passenger lot, home to Klinger's restaurant, a car rental service, and a departure lounge for charter passengers. Reading Aviation, the authority owned FBO formed after the purchase of Reading Jet Center and Millennium Aviation, runs an 18,000 square foot building with passenger and pilot lounges, a conference room, and over 70,000 square feet of hangar space. Two grooved runways of 6,350 and 5,151 feet stay open around the clock under a staffed control tower, NetJets began operating a maintenance facility on the field in June 2026, and the Mid Atlantic Air Museum displays restored military aircraft and classic airliners.

Passenger Traffic and Airfield Activity

Because RDG focuses on private and charter flying, its activity is best measured by aircraft operations. The field logs roughly 38,000 operations a year, and itinerant business traffic has climbed to around 22,000 movements, up from about 12,000 before the pandemic. FAA records show 9,288 passenger boardings in 2004, the final year of airline service, and Quest Diagnostics bases a fleet of 24 aircraft at RDG to carry medical specimens.

Parking at Reading Regional Airport

The passenger lot sits right beside the terminal, and the airport offers free parking for charter passengers, restaurant guests, rental customers, and authority patrons. Vehicles without an approved purpose may be ticketed at the owner's expense, so a planned pickup works better for groups than leaving cars behind.

Pick Up and Drop Off Guidance

Private jet travelers usually meet their driver at Reading Aviation, where ramp access is coordinated with the FBO. Charter and terminal passengers meet at the front curb of the terminal building. Share your tail number, charter operator, or arrival time when booking, and your driver will stage nearby and pull forward once your group has bags in hand.

Coach Staging Notes

Full size coaches need extra turning room, so our dispatchers coordinate staging spots with airport staff for large groups and busy event days such as the June World War II Weekend and the October Reading Aviation Expo, when traffic on the access roads rises sharply.

Ground Transportation Options at RDG

Travelers leaving the field can pick from several ways to reach Reading and the wider region:

• Rental cars arranged through the airport's car rental service near the terminal.
• Taxis dispatched from Reading, which can involve a wait on late evenings and weekends.
• Rideshare apps, where driver supply around Bern Township can be thin outside peak hours.
• BARTA local bus routes covering the city and nearby boroughs, so confirm the closest stop before you land.
• Hotel shuttles, which some Reading and Wyomissing hotels provide on request.
• Prearranged sedans, SUVs, vans, and charter buses from our team, waiting at the terminal curb or the FBO.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Tell us if you will exit through the terminal or the Reading Aviation FBO, since pickup points differ.
• Text your driver after touchdown so the vehicle can move from staging to the door.
• Check Berks County weather before departure, since winter snow and summer storms can slow roads into Reading.
• Allow extra time on event weekends at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum, when the field draws big crowds.
• Keep the airport phone number, +1 610 372 4666, handy for questions about the field.

Private Jet and Charter Arrivals

Business aviation schedules shift often. We track your tail number or charter schedule and adjust the pickup time as your aircraft moves, so nobody waits in an empty lobby.

Luggage and Equipment Planning

Tell us about golf bags, band instruments, trade show crates, or wheelchairs ahead of time, and we will send a vehicle with the right storage space and a lift equipped coach when one is required.

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Service Wins Over Taxis and Rideshare?

A general aviation airport has no taxi line waiting outside the doors. Booking ahead with Union Limousine means your ride is confirmed before takeoff, and the benefits add up quickly:

• Guaranteed availability, with no waiting for an app driver to accept a trip in a quiet suburb.
• Flat, upfront pricing with no surge rates after concerts, ballgames, or storms.
• Room for every guest and every bag in one vehicle, even for groups of 56.
• Licensed, insured, background checked drivers who greet your group by name.
• Flight monitoring that shifts pickup times when schedules change.
