Private Jet Albuquerque to Capri

Albuquerque International Sunport, serving New Mexico’s largest city beneath the Sandia Mountains, is the starting point for a 5,223 nautical mile transatlantic crossing to Capri, a distance suited to an ultra-long-range aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650ER or Global 7500, both able to fly the sector non-stop while cruising in the high 40,000s, above the majority of weather encountered on a North Atlantic routing. The cabin comfort of aircraft in this class becomes particularly noticeable on a crossing that typically runs close to ten hours in the air. Leaving the high desert of central New Mexico behind, travellers land by helicopter at Capri Heliport, arriving above a coastline built on limestone rather than the volcanic rock of the Rio Grande valley. The island’s lemon groves, tended in stepped terraces above Capri town, supply the limoncello served at nearly every café along the Piazzetta, the small square that remains the social heart of the island each evening. Marina Grande, the working harbour below, connects to the town by funicular and continues to receive the ferries that link Capri to Naples and the Amalfi coast. The Blue Grotto, reached by small rowing boat, remains the obligatory natural attraction, its interior lit an intense blue by sunlight bending beneath the cave’s low entrance. Anacapri, quieter and higher on the hillside, offers the Monte Solaro chairlift and expansive views over the Faraglioni rock formations below. This route suits Albuquerque-area travellers accustomed to dramatic high-desert scenery and seeking an equally striking Mediterranean counterpart, reached in a single unbroken sector aboard a purpose-built ultra-long-range cabin.
