The Airbus A340-600 is the longest aircraft Airbus has built, and out of South Florida it is chartered for the largest long-haul group movements: 50 to 100 passengers, 7,800 nautical miles nonstop. Departures run from KDJT or Miami.
The A340-600 stretches the A340 fuselage and uses four Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines, cruising at Mach 0.82 with 7,800 nautical miles of range. Charter layouts run 50 to 100 seats, often mixed, with a private forward cabin ahead of the main group seating. The aircraft was designed for routes of twelve hours and more. Full specifications for the Airbus A340-600 are published by Airbus Corporate Jets.

Why the Airbus A340-600 Fits Palm Beach
Whole-organization movements. A hundred people from South Florida to Europe or Asia on one aircraft, with the forward cabin held for principals and the rest of the group behind it.
Tours and production groups. Teams and crews moving with cases and equipment use the widebody belly hold, which takes freight a narrow-body simply cannot accept.
Very few A340-600s are available for charter anywhere, and none are based in Florida. Every trip starts with a positioning leg, and we tell you what that leg costs before you commit to anything.
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.
