Private Jet Abacos to Paradise Valley

Abacos to Paradise Valley covers roughly 1,860 nautical miles, a sector well suited to a Mid-Size or Super Mid-Size Jet, with the Citation Latitude or Challenger 350 completing the crossing in around three and a half hours while cruising near 45,000 feet. Leonard M. Thompson International Airport serves the Abaco Islands, a favoured destination among sailors for its protected cruising grounds and pastel-painted settlements reflecting a strong Loyalist heritage. Arrival into Scottsdale Airport delivers passengers into Paradise Valley, trading the Abacos’ sheltered sailing waters and beach cottages for the desert resort spas and golf courses beneath the McDowell Mountains. At around three and a half hours, a comfortable Mid-Size cabin with full galley service makes the crossing an easy one, suited to travellers moving between two very different but equally relaxed environments. This route serves boat owners, second-home owners and repeat visitors to the Abacos, many of whom maintain interests in the American Southwest as well, a pairing that benefits considerably from direct charter given the limited scheduled service into this part of the Bahamas. The islands’ ongoing recovery and continued development following past storm damage has also brought a steady flow of business travellers connected to construction and hospitality projects, adding a further reason for reliable, flexible air access. Whichever the purpose, chartering removes the need for a connection through Nassau or a Florida gateway, allowing a direct transition between sailing in the Sea of Abaco and desert relaxation in Paradise Valley within a single afternoon. Marsh Harbour’s continued rebuilding has brought new marina facilities and restaurants online in recent seasons, giving returning visitors fresh reason to combine an Abacos stay with the onward flight to Paradise Valley.
