Turboprops are among the aircraft Opa Locka Jet Charter arranges for trips to and from Opa-locka. The types we arrange seat 4 to 14 passengers, with published ranges from 840 to 1,806 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 Beechcraft Denali, Beechcraft King Air 100, Beechcraft King Air 250, Beechcraft King Air 260, Beechcraft King Air 360, Beechcraft King Air C90GTx, Cessna Grand Caravan 208B, Daher TBM 900, King Air 200, King Air 350, King Air 90, Piaggio Avanti II, Pilatus PC-12, Socata TBM 700 and Socata TBM 850.
When a Turboprop Fits an Opa-locka Trip
Turboprops suit trips around Florida and up the East Coast with a small group, and they reach smaller airports that jets do not use. From Opa-locka, most of the types we arrange reach Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Charlotte and Nashville, and many go as far as Texas, the Northeast and Chicago. Flights over water to the Bahamas are planned with the operator case by case.
Cabin size, baggage space and range vary across these 15 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.
