Private Jet Hammond to Tempe

Hammond to Tempe spans about 1,112 nautical miles, a distance suited to a mid-size jet such as the Bombardier Challenger 350 or a light jet like the Citation CJ4, cruising near 43,000 feet for a flight time of just over two hours. Departures leave Hammond Northshore Regional Airport, north of Lake Pontchartrain and a quieter alternative to the busier fields around New Orleans, before the aircraft tracks west across Texas and New Mexico toward Arizona. Arrival into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport brings passengers into Tempe, where the Mill Avenue district’s restaurants and the shaded paths around Tempe Town Lake offer a dry counterpoint to Louisiana’s humidity. Arizona State University’s campus and the surrounding Sonoran Desert, framed by Papago Park’s distinctive buttes, give the city a markedly different feel from the bayous and pine forests of the Northshore. This sector serves Louisiana’s energy, maritime and logistics executives with business interests in the Southwest, as well as leisure travellers drawn to the desert’s dry climate as a change from the Gulf Coast’s heat and humidity. A mid-size jet’s cabin comfort suits the crossing well, giving passengers room to work or rest over the two-hour flight, while avoiding the inconvenience of routing through one of New Orleans’s larger commercial terminals before connecting onward toward Phoenix. The Northshore’s proximity to major petrochemical refining and shipping operations also means this route carries a steady stream of specialist contractors and consultants, for whom a direct charter departure avoids the lengthy security and connection delays typical of the larger New Orleans airports nearby.
