Private Jet Butte to Antalya

Reaching some 5,457 nautical miles, the route from Butte to Antalya carries travellers from the historic mining city of the Montana Rockies across the North Atlantic to the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. An ultra-long-range jet such as the Gulfstream G650ER or the Global 7500 is essential for a sector of this length, combining intercontinental reach with a cabin designed for genuine living aloft and completing the crossing non-stop in around ten and a half hours. Cruising at altitudes that can approach 51,000 feet, these aircraft travel above weather and traffic across a continent and an ocean, offering a passage of exceptional smoothness and quiet. Departures are handled from Bert Mooney Airport, a mile-high field in the Montana Rockies where private handling allows a calm and unhurried start to the long journey east. Antalya, at the far end, offers a complete change of world. The city spreads along a sunlit coast beneath the Taurus Mountains, its old town of Kaleici wrapped around a Roman harbour and its wider districts giving on to the long beaches of Konyaalti and Lara. Hadrian’s Gate recalls the emperor’s visit in 130 AD, while the ancient theatres of Aspendos and Perge await those inclined to explore. This route suits the seasoned long-haul traveller, the executive with business at opposite edges of the globe, and anyone drawn from the American Rockies to the Mediterranean sun. With full-length berths, a well-appointed galley and a cabin quiet enough to sleep the hours away, the ultra-long-range jet renders even this vast distance restful, setting passengers down on the Riviera in fine condition despite the journey behind them.
