Private Jet Bella Coola to Ankara

The route from Bella Coola to Ankara measures close to 5,170 nautical miles, a long transatlantic crossing from the remote central coast of British Columbia to the Turkish capital. A sector of this length is the province of the heavy and ultra-long-range classes, and aircraft such as the Gulfstream G550 and the Bombardier Global 6000 fly it comfortably nonstop, carrying ample fuel for the distance and its reserves. Cruising near 45,000 feet, they offer a quiet, pressurised cabin above the weather, with space to work, dine and rest across the eastbound night. The range of these types is what makes a single-leg crossing possible from so remote a departure point. Departures are handled at Bella Coola Airport, a small field set among the fjords and mountains of the British Columbia coast, whose seclusion makes for an exceptionally quiet and private start to the journey. The aircraft arrives at Esenboğa Airport, some twenty-eight kilometres north-east of Ankara, a short transfer from the centre. Set on the central Anatolian plateau at around 938 metres, the Turkish capital offers a composed, historically layered contrast to the wilderness of the coast. Travellers are drawn to Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Atatürk, and to the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations, while the old citadel above Ulus rewards those who seek out its narrow streets. This route suits lodge owners, business travellers and private parties on the British Columbia coast who value a direct crossing over the long chain of connections a scheduled journey would demand. For them, a single nonstop flight to Ankara is both a comfort and a convenience.
