Private Jet Kortrijk to Huntington Beach

Kortrijk-Wevelgem Airport, serving the Belgian textile city of Kortrijk near the French border, is the departure point for a substantial 4,866 nautical mile route to Huntington Beach, one that calls for a heavy business jet such as the Gulfstream G550 or Bombardier Global 6000. Cruising near 45,000 feet for much of the roughly nine-hour crossing, these aircraft carry the range margin needed to handle the Atlantic crossing and the full breadth of the North American continent in a single sector. Kortrijk’s own history as a centre of flax and linen production, visible in its restored Broel Towers and medieval core, gives departing passengers a distinctly European send-off before a long westward flight that ends in an entirely different kind of coastal town. The route crosses the Atlantic before threading across eastern Canada or the northern United States and the full width of the continent, arriving on the Pacific side of Orange County. Huntington Beach greets passengers with its landmark pier, broad sandy beaches and a surf culture reinforced each year by the US Open of Surfing, a competition that draws the sport’s leading names. The Bolsa Chica wetlands to the north offer a quieter stretch of coastline, while Disneyland and the Anaheim resort district lie a short drive inland for travellers extending their stay. This route tends to suit Belgian and northern French executives and property owners with Southern California interests, as well as anyone for whom a single long private sector, free of the connections a scheduled itinerary would require, justifies the choice of a heavy jet over a multi-stop commercial alternative.
