Private Jet Krasnodar to Ankara

The short route between Krasnodar and Ankara covers only about 417 nautical miles, linking the prosperous capital of Russia’s southern Kuban region with the Turkish capital on the Anatolian plateau. A distance of this kind is ideally suited to a light jet or a very light jet, and aircraft such as the Phenom 300, the Citation CJ4 or the compact Phenom 100 complete the sector in little more than an hour with grace and economy. There is no need to seek the highest flight levels for so brief a leg, yet even at a moderate cruise the cabin remains quiet and the ride smooth across the Black Sea. Departures are handled from Krasnodar International Airport, which serves the city a short distance from the centre and offers executive handling for a swift and private start. The efficiency of the departure is keenly valued on a route where the flight itself is so short. Ankara rises on the high Anatolian steppe at close to 900 metres, a city of government, learning and deep antiquity. Travellers come for the solemn grandeur of Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Ataturk, for the acclaimed Museum of Anatolian Civilisations, and for the old citadel quarter whose Ottoman houses look out over the plateau. Esenboga Airport lies to the north of the city, a short transfer from the centre. The pairing suits business travellers and private parties shuttling between southern Russia and Turkey who value speed, privacy and the freedom to depart on their own schedule. For a swift, civilised connection across the Black Sea, Krasnodar to Ankara is difficult to better in comfort or convenience.
