Seating is the typical charter layout, not the certified maximum. Range and speed are published figures for a typical mission and change with passengers, fuel and weather.
Best for
- Short regional trips where a smaller airport is closer to where you are going.
- Small groups who want to reach places jets cannot easily use.
Not ideal for
- Long sectors, where the slower speed adds hours.
- Passengers who want a standing-height cabin or a lavatory-free cabin to feel roomy.
Nonstop routes from India
Based on the same distance rule as our Range Explorer: the route plus a 10% reserve must fit inside the published range. Weather, passenger load, airspace closures and airport limits can still mean a fuel stop, and we check all of that before quoting.
