Private Jet Malé to Antalya

Male to Antalya is a substantial crossing of around 3,068 nautical miles, close to six hours in the air, joining the atolls of the Maldives with the Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. A sector of this length calls for a heavy or ultra long range jet, and aircraft such as the Gulfstream G550 or the Bombardier Global 6000 are ideally suited, offering the range to fly it nonstop along with the cabin comfort essential on a longer flight. These aircraft cruise at altitudes up to around 51,000 feet, climbing above the weather of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Peninsula to give passengers a serene passage, with full stand up cabins, sleeping arrangements and generous space to work or dine. Departures are handled from Velana International Airport near Male, where private handling allows guests to board directly and in comfort after a stay in the islands. Antalya makes a rewarding landfall at the far end. The Turkish Riviera stretches beneath the Taurus Mountains, its old quarter of Kaleici wrapped around a historic harbour and its coastline lined with resorts, marinas and turquoise bays. The classical sites of Aspendos and Perge lie within easy reach, adding depth to a destination celebrated for its beaches and mild climate. This route suits discerning travellers moving between two of the world’s most sought after coastlines, whether continuing a Maldivian holiday towards the Mediterranean or connecting for business across the two regions. The spacious cabin of a heavy or ultra long range jet transforms the six hour flight into restful, private time aloft, allowing guests to arrive on the Turkish coast composed and unhurried, having crossed a great distance without any of the strain of commercial travel.
