Why the Boeing 787-9 (VIP) Fits Palm Beach
Nonstop from KDJT to Tokyo, Dubai or Doha. For a group this size that turns a two-flight itinerary with a night in Europe into one flight and one arrival.
Cabin pressure and humidity on the very long legs. With eighty people aboard for fourteen hours, the lower cabin altitude shows up in how the group feels at the far end, and it is the reason clients pay for a 787 over an older widebody.
Widebody charters run through KDJT, Fort Lauderdale or Miami. We settle the departure field and the ground plan first, then handle permits and authorizations for the international legs once the trip is booked.
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.
