Why the Gulfstream G500 Fits Orlando
With 5,300 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Orlando Executive and destinations such as Mexico City, San Francisco and Geneva, allowing for reserves and routing. From June to September, afternoon thunderstorms build over Central Florida most days, so morning departures tend to run closest to plan.
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 Gulfstream G500
Long range jets are the class for Orlando to Europe, and your advisor checks the published range of each type on the quote against the winds and the load for your date.
Tell us where you are flying from, how many are coming and what they are bringing, strollers and golf bags included, and we will measure this aircraft against the trip before offering alternatives.

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.
