Private Jet Exumas to Santa Clarita

Exuma’s turquoise shallows and the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay have made this Bahamian chain a familiar name well beyond the islands themselves, and Exuma Airport serves as the departure point for the 2,660 mile route north-west to Santa Clarita, a distance of about 2,312 nautical miles. A Mid-Size Jet is the natural fit for this sector, with the Cessna Citation Latitude and Citation XLS+ both offering enough range and cabin space to make the crossing without a fuel stop for most routings. Cruising around 43,000 feet, these aircraft climb above the weather typical of the Gulf and Southwestern approach, and their cabins allow passengers to work or rest properly rather than simply sit out the hours. Santa Clarita Station Heliport receives arrivals into a valley set in the hills north of central Los Angeles, close to the studio and production facilities that give the area its industry nickname, and not far from the trailheads leading into the Angeles National Forest. For travellers accustomed to Exuma’s slower pace, be it sailing the cays or diving the blue holes, the contrast on arrival is considerable, and a well-appointed Mid-Size cabin helps ease that transition rather than compound it. This route suits families returning from a Bahamian holiday to school or business schedules in California, or production executives who scout locations across both regions. The Latitude’s flat-floor cabin in particular makes it a popular choice for groups travelling with younger children or additional luggage, a practical consideration on a sector spanning this much open water and desert terrain before Los Angeles comes into view on the horizon.
