Turboprops are among the aircraft Jet Charter NYC arranges for trips to and from New York. 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 a New York Trip
Turboprops are a natural fit for New York trips to the Hamptons, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and smaller airports across New England, where the runway is short and the flight is brief. They cost less per hour than a jet, and on a short leg the time difference is small.
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.
Whether a particular aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, its weight and the day’s weather, and your advisor will confirm it 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.
New York-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
New York has more airports to choose from than almost any other city, and the right one depends on where you are starting from on the ground. Teterboro, about eight miles from Midtown, is usually the closest to Manhattan and has a 100,000 lb operating-weight limit, Westchester County Airport in White Plains suits Westchester and Greenwich, and Republic and MacArthur serve Long Island. LaGuardia, JFK and Newark take private flights too, but each needs a reservation or approval under an FAA order, so we usually start elsewhere. Several of these airports can clear a flight arriving from abroad. Air traffic control delays reach the business-aviation airports as well as the airline ones, and from roughly November through March, de-icing can add time to a departure.
