Heavy jets are among the aircraft Jet Charter Colombia arranges for trips to and from Colombia. The types we arrange seat 8 to 19 passengers, with published ranges from 2,800 to 4,750 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 Bombardier Challenger 600, Bombardier Challenger 601, Bombardier Challenger 604, Bombardier Challenger 605, Bombardier Challenger 650, Cessna Citation Hemisphere, Dassault Falcon 2000, Dassault Falcon 2000LXS, Dassault Falcon 2000S, Dassault Falcon 900, Dassault Falcon 900EX, Dassault Falcon 900LX, Embraer Legacy 600, Gulfstream G350, Gulfstream II / IIB, Gulfstream III and Gulfstream IV / IV-SP / G400.
When a Heavy Jet Fits a Colombia Trip
Heavy jets carry larger groups between Colombia and the United States in one leg, depending on the load, such as a wedding party flying in from New York or a company team heading to Washington, DC, with room for everyone’s luggage. Most of the types we arrange also reach Mexico City and Sao Paulo from Bogota. For Europe, your advisor will compare a long range jet.
Cabin size, baggage space and range vary across these 17 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.
Colombia-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Most international private flights into Colombia arrive at Bogota’s El Dorado International or Medellin’s Jose Maria Cordova International in Rionegro, and Cartagena also takes international flights. Flights between two Colombian cities are flown by Colombian charter operators certified by the Aerocivil, Colombia’s civil aviation authority. Bogota and Medellin sit high in the Andes, so the operator plans the aircraft and the load with the altitude in mind. October and November usually bring the heaviest rain to the Andes, the hurricane season from June through November can affect San Andres and the Caribbean coast, and the weeks from early December to mid-January and Semana Santa book up first. The routing and any fuel stop on a long trip are confirmed with the operator before you book.
