Private Jet Bakersfield to Chandler

Owners and executives connected to California’s Central Valley agricultural and energy businesses make up a fair share of the traffic between Bakersfield and Chandler, a sector of some 382 nautical miles that sits comfortably within the capabilities of the Embraer Phenom 300. With a range of around 2,010 nautical miles, the Phenom 300 covers this distance with plenty in reserve, allowing for flexible routing around weather without the range anxiety a shorter-legged aircraft might introduce on a busier day. Departures are made from Meadows Field Airport, a general aviation friendly field on Bakersfield’s northern edge that offers straightforward access for private travellers without the congestion of larger Californian airports. The flight itself takes well under an hour, carrying passengers east over the desert before descending into the Phoenix Valley, where Chandler sits in the Sonoran Desert to the south-east of Phoenix proper, framed by a backdrop of saguaro-studded terrain and the South Mountains rising to the north. That landscape, so different from the irrigated flatlands of the Central Valley, is part of the appeal for many travellers making this crossing, whether for business meetings tied to Arizona’s agricultural, logistics or manufacturing sectors, or simply for a change of scenery over a long weekend. The Phenom 300’s comfortable cabin and respectable speed make it a practical choice for both purposes, suiting a focused day trip as easily as a more relaxed family getaway. Given the limited scheduled commercial service between the two cities, private charter is by some distance the most efficient way to make this journey, and the Phenom 300’s combination of range, comfort and easy access to both regional airports keeps the whole experience simple from kerb to kerb for passengers travelling in twos, threes or small family groups.
