Private Jet Castries to Antalya

The pairing of Castries with Antalya covers close to 4,988 nautical miles, a long transatlantic sector reaching from the capital of St Lucia to the Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. A crossing of this magnitude belongs to the ultra-long-range cabin, and aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650ER and the Bombardier Global 7500 are the natural choice. Both carry the range to span the ocean without a technical stop and cruise as high as 51,000 feet, above much of the weather and congestion along the route, while their cabins are designed for the long hours involved, offering quiet, well-lit interiors, effective humidity control and full-length rest for travellers who prefer to arrive composed. Departures are handled from George F. L. Charles Airport, whose private handling makes for an easy and unhurried start to the journey from the Caribbean. Travellers arrive at Antalya Airport, the principal gateway to the Turkish Riviera. From the green volcanic slopes of St Lucia, Antalya offers a coast of a different character: the restored old quarter of Kaleiçi descending to its stone harbour, the Roman landmark of Hadrian’s Gate and a coastline of clear turquoise water set against the Taurus Mountains. Nearby lie the resorts of Belek and Kemer, the beaches of Side and the great ancient theatre at Aspendos, offering leisure and history in equal measure. This pairing suits discerning travellers moving between two celebrated warm-water destinations, whether for an extended holiday or private business, and it rewards those who value a single uninterrupted flight on which to rest. The ultra-long-range aircraft that serve the route make a formidable distance feel manageable, carrying passengers across the Atlantic in privacy and quiet and setting them down refreshed on the Mediterranean shore.
