Private Jet Exeter to Almaty

Charter flights arranged from Exeter reach Almaty after a journey of some 3,163 nautical miles, a sector of around six hours that calls for a heavy business jet with genuine long-range capability. The Gulfstream G550 and Bombardier Global 6000 both suit the route well, cruising at altitudes up to 45,000 feet and carrying enough fuel reserve to manage the crossing without a technical stop. Exeter sits at the heart of Devon, a short drive from the Jurassic Coast’s fossil-studded cliffs and the wild moorland of Dartmoor National Park, its own Norman cathedral and compact historic centre giving the city a character quite distinct from its larger neighbours further north. Almaty could hardly present a more different climate on arrival: where Devon’s weather stays mild and maritime through much of the year, Almaty experiences a properly continental pattern of cold, dry winters suited to skiing at nearby Shymbulak and hot, largely rainless summers that keep the city’s parks and boulevards busy well into the evening. The route suits travellers based in England’s South West with interests across Kazakhstan’s mining, energy or agricultural sectors, as well as those simply curious to trade Devon’s gentle coastal scenery for the drama of the Tian Shan foothills. A heavy jet’s cabin, with private lavatory and stand-up headroom, keeps small groups comfortable over the six-hour flight, allowing passengers to arrive in Almaty ready for meetings or eager to explore the mountains rising just beyond the city, whatever the season of their visit. Those extending their stay in Kazakhstan often pair a night or two in the city with a drive out to Charyn Canyon, a dramatic red-rock formation that offers a striking counterpoint to the West Country’s own rolling green landscape.
