The Airbus A320 in charter configuration is the group aircraft for Palm Beach: 19 to 50 seats, 4,300 nautical miles of range and a cabin people can walk around in. It operates from KDJT, which takes airline traffic daily and has the ground handling to match.
The A320 is the standard-fuselage member of the Airbus narrow-body family, cruising at Mach 0.78 with 4,300 nautical miles of range in charter fit. VIP and corporate-shuttle layouts run from about 19 seats up to 50. Cabin width is the full A320 cross-section with overhead bins on both sides. Full specifications for the Airbus A320 are published by Airbus Corporate Jets.

Why the Airbus A320 Fits Palm Beach
Sports teams and large corporate groups. A roster with staff and equipment, or a company moving a department to a West Coast meeting, fits in one aircraft with hold space left over.
The December run into South Florida. Art Basel and the start of the winter social season pull large private groups down from New York and Chicago, and an A320 covers forty people with bags in one lift into KDJT.
Storm-season departures. Between June and November we arrange group movements out of South Florida at short notice, and an aircraft this size clears an entire household or office staff in a single flight.

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.
Charter Pricing Reference
Industry hourly rates for the Airbus A320 run $18,000 to $25,000 per hour as of 9/2026. Actual quotes vary by operator, routing, positioning, and date.
$18,000 to $25,000 per hour. Charters at this size are quoted per trip with positioning, crew and handling built in, so the hourly figure is where the conversation starts and not where it lands.
