Private Jet Butte to Ankara

The route from Butte to Ankara runs to approximately 5,327 nautical miles, a long transatlantic crossing reaching from the mountains of Montana to the Anatolian plateau. A sector of this length is the natural territory of the ultra-long-range jet, and the Gulfstream G650ER and Bombardier Global 7500 are both built to fly it nonstop while retaining comfortable fuel reserves. Cruising as high as 47,000 feet, they lift passengers above the weather into a quiet and stable cabin, with a low cabin altitude and full-length berths that make genuine rest possible through the eastbound night. On a crossing of this magnitude such qualities are what separate arriving refreshed from arriving worn. Departures are handled at Bert Mooney Airport, a high-elevation general aviation field whose thin, clear mountain air and quiet apron make for an unhurried and private start. The aircraft arrives at Esenboğa Airport, some twenty-eight kilometres north-east of Ankara, with a short transfer into the centre. The Turkish capital rests on the central plateau at around 938 metres, a city shaped by its role as the seat of national government since 1923. Visitors are drawn to Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Atatürk, and to the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations, whose Hittite and Phrygian holdings are internationally renowned, while the old citadel above Ulus preserves the character of an older Ankara. Given its length, this route best serves travellers for whom a direct crossing carries real value: business owners, ranching and mining interests and private parties in Montana who prefer one long, comfortable flight to the delay and uncertainty of a European connection.
