Private Jet Gustavia to Maafaru

The flight from Gustavia on Saint Barthélemy to Maafaru in the Maldives covers about 9,040 miles and takes around 15 hours and 15 minutes. That distance is beyond the reach of the longest-range business jets, so the journey will need a fuel stop rather than a non-stop flight, and an executive airliner is the category suited to this trip. Gustavia is the island’s harbour town, known for sailing, yachts, beaches and French-influenced cafés and shops. Maafaru lies in the Maldives, an Indian Ocean nation of low-lying coral atolls famed for clear lagoons, white sand and diving. Travellers come for relaxation, snorkelling and time on the water, setting a Caribbean island stay against one of the world’s most celebrated island escapes.
