Delaware Turbo-Prop Charter

Turboprops do a great deal of the regional flying out of Delaware, because they operate comfortably from the shorter runways that jets cannot use.

Turboprops We Arrange from Delaware

Every aircraft in this category has its own page with cabin, range, seating and a charter pricing reference. 15 are listed below.

When Turboprops Fit the Delaware Trip

This is the category for reaching the smaller fields along the coast and across the Mid-Atlantic that scheduled services do not serve. If you give us the destination rather than the nearest airline airport, we will work out which field gets you closest.

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 rather than working from a general figure.

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.

Delaware Patterns We Plan Around

Delaware has three public airports and only one of them has a control tower. New Castle Airport (KILG), four miles south of Wilmington, carries almost all of the state’s jet traffic and is a customs landing rights airport. Delaware Coastal Airport (KGED) near Georgetown is a customs landing rights airport too, but it has no tower and is attended from eight in the morning until six in the evening, with the field unattended on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Summit Airport (KEVY) north of Middletown is privately owned and also uncontrolled.

That shapes the timing of a trip more than the aircraft does. Through the summer the Sussex County beaches at Rehoboth, Bethany and Lewes drive demand toward Delaware Coastal, which is the airport with the shortest attended day, so we ask for your preferred departure and arrival times as early as you can give them.

Delaware has no scheduled passenger airline service, so there is no commercial fallback if a plan changes late. If you give us the address you are starting from rather than the city, we can work out which of the three fields gets you closest.
