A VIP airliner is how a whole team, a convention delegation or a wedding party gets into Orlando on one aircraft with a private cabin.
Boeing introduced the 787-9 (VIP) in 2014. It seats 40 to 80 with a published range of 7,565 nautical miles and a cruise of Mach 0.85 (~488 knots). The aircraft has a service ceiling of 43,000 feet, 5,452 cubic feet of baggage volume and multiple lavatories.

Why the Boeing 787-9 (VIP) Fits Orlando
With 7,565 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Orlando Executive and destinations such as Scottsdale, Seattle and Geneva, 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 Boeing 787-9 (VIP)
We most often quote an airliner out of Orlando for a sports team, a convention delegation or a company reward trip. Part 135 is the FAA’s set of rules for on-demand, for-hire charter. When your total passenger count outgrows a heavy jet and the group consists of more than nineteen passengers, the aircraft required would fall into regional airliner, or airliner-size. These trips would no longer fall under the FAR Part 135 standards but possibly operate under FAR Part 121 or foreign equivalent standards. Part 121 and equivalent generally carry stricter crew and operating requirements than FAR Part 91 and FAR Part 135.
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.
