Long range jets carry the longest trips we arrange out of Delaware, and the cabin matters as much as the range.
Bombardier introduced the Global Express in 1999. It is flown by a crew of 2. The type carries 13 to 19 passengers, cruises at Mach 0.85 (about 488 knots) knots, tops out at 51,000 feet, covers 6,700 nautical miles and holds 195 cubic feet of baggage.

Why the Global Express Fits Delaware
Long range departures from Delaware are arranged through New Castle (KILG), and international legs clear customs there.
A published range of 6,700 nautical miles brings Los Angeles, San Francisco, London and Paris within reach of Delaware, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.
Winds change the answer as well. A westbound leg into a headwind eats into range, so an aircraft that flies a route nonstop in one season may need a fuel stop in another.
On an international leg, New Castle and Delaware Coastal are both customs landing rights airports, so clearance is arranged and confirmed for your specific trip rather than assumed from a published schedule.
The runway required on the day is a performance calculation the operator makes for that aircraft, at that weight, in the conditions on your date, so we confirm it with them for your specific trip.

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; reports may be provided on request.
- 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.
