Heavy jets bring larger groups into and out of Orlando, such as an extended family heading for the parks or a company team flying to the West Coast.

Why the Bombardier Challenger 650 Fits Orlando
With 4,000 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Orlando Executive and destinations such as New York, Mexico City and Seattle, allowing for reserves and routing. The holidays, spring break in March and the big convention weeks are the busiest times for private flights into Orlando, so it pays to call early.
Aircraft this size usually fly from Orlando International, which takes the largest aircraft, and the operator plans the routing and the fuel for the day. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator ahead of the trip.
How Orlando Clients Use the Bombardier Challenger 650
A heavy jet usually seats ten to sixteen, which suits three generations of a family going to the parks, a wedding party or a company offsite.

- 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.
