Midsize jets are among the aircraft Opa Locka Jet Charter arranges for trips to and from Opa-locka. The types we arrange seat 6 to 10 passengers, with published ranges from 1,810 to 2,950 nautical miles. Which one suits your trip depends on the passenger count, the baggage, the distance and the airports at both ends.
Typical Aircraft
The types we arrange in this category are Cessna Citation Excel, Cessna Citation III, Cessna Citation VII, Dassault Falcon 20, Embraer Legacy 450, Gulfstream G100 / G150, Hawker 700, Hawker 800 / 800XP, Hawker 900XP, Learjet 55 and Learjet 60.
When a Midsize Jet Fits an Opa-locka Trip
Midsize jets give a group a larger cabin for flights of a few hours. From Opa-locka, most of the types we arrange reach Panama City, Medellin, Bogota and Mexico City, the Caribbean, Texas, Chicago and the Northeast, and as far west as Denver. Most cannot fly to the West Coast without stopping, so for that trip your advisor will compare a super midsize jet or larger.
Cabin size, baggage space and range vary across these 11 types, so send us the details and we will narrow the list down for you.
The runway a particular aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and your advisor confirms it with the operator before anything is booked.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Opa-locka-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport is about ten miles north of downtown Miami and is the area’s main airport for private and business aviation, with no airline flights and US Customs on the field. It sits about four miles from Hard Rock Stadium and nine to ten miles from Aventura, Bal Harbour and Sunny Isles Beach, and Miami International, Miami Executive and Fort Lauderdale Executive are the other options, depending on where you are headed. South Florida’s rainy season brings afternoon thunderstorms through the summer, and the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th. The holidays, the winter season and the big event weekends book up first, so tell us your dates early.
