Private Jet Abilene to Antalya

The route from Abilene to Antalya runs to about 5,805 nautical miles, a long intercontinental crossing joining west-central Texas with the Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. The distance calls for an ultra-long-range jet such as the Gulfstream G650ER, or, for larger parties, an executive airliner like the Boeing Business Jet. The G650ER handles the sector with ease, cruising at altitudes near 51,000 feet and covering the crossing non-stop while its low cabin altitude helps passengers arrive rested rather than drained after so many hours aloft. Departures are handled from Abilene Regional Airport, whose private facilities and uncongested setting allow a swift and efficient start to the long north-easterly routing towards Europe and the Mediterranean. Antalya sits at the heart of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast and rewards the length of the journey. The old quarter of Kaleici descends through narrow lanes of restored houses to a Roman harbour now home to yachts, while the second-century Hadrian’s Gate still marks the historic entrance. The Taurus Mountains rise behind the shore, and the classical theatres of Aspendos and Perge lie within a short drive for those keen to explore the ancient world. Konyaalti and Lara beaches provide the warm Mediterranean waters for which the coast is prized. With a choice of ultra-long-range jet or executive airliner, this route flexes to accommodate parties large and small travelling from west-central Texas to the eastern Mediterranean. It suits business travellers wanting a productive, non-stop crossing as readily as families seeking a spacious cabin in which to pass the many hours between the plains and the Turkish Riviera.
