The Airbus A340-300 is a four-engine widebody, and when it is chartered out of Palm Beach it is for a long-haul group movement: 30 to 60 passengers, 7,400 nautical miles, no fuel stop. From KDJT that reaches Europe, the Gulf and most of South America directly.
The A340-300 carries four CFM56 engines and cruises at Mach 0.82 with 7,400 nautical miles of range. In VIP and group-charter fit it seats 30 to 60 in lie-flat or executive seating with full galleys. The four-engine layout was built for long routes over water and remote terrain. Full specifications for the Airbus A340-300 are published by Airbus Corporate Jets.

Why the Airbus A340-300 Fits Palm Beach
Palm Beach to Europe or the Gulf nonstop for a corporate or family group. Trips like this get set weeks ahead, and landing permits and authorizations are applied for once the trip is booked and the aircraft is confirmed on the schedule.
Conference and leadership travel. An A340-300 in a 50-seat layout moves a whole management group from South Florida to a European meeting with beds and a working cabin on the way over.
Widebody departures in this market run from KDJT, Fort Lauderdale or Miami. Nothing north of West Palm Beach in the county will take an aircraft this size, so the ground plan starts with which of those three fields suits your group.

- 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.
