Private Jet Nassau to Canyon Point

Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport lies 2,025 nautical miles from Page Municipal Airport, a route generally flown in a mid-size or super mid-size jet, with the Challenger 350 offering comfortable range at a cruise altitude near 43,000 feet, well above the weather that can build over the Gulf of Mexico on the way west. Nassau’s airport handles a significant volume of private traffic with practised efficiency, and the flight from there tracks broadly across Florida and the Gulf states before crossing Texas and New Mexico into the canyon country of northern Arizona. The scenery could hardly change more completely: Nassau’s busy harbour and shallow banks give way to the empty, wind-sculpted mesas surrounding Page, where the Colorado River has carved a gorge a mile deep over millions of years. Lake Powell, held behind Glen Canyon Dam, opens out just beyond the airport into nearly two hundred miles of flooded canyon shoreline, and Antelope Canyon’s narrow, glowing sandstone corridors lie only a short drive away. Horseshoe Bend, where the river bends dramatically around a sandstone bluff, is an easy further stop, particularly rewarding in the early morning light. Travellers leaving Nassau’s resorts and casinos for this stretch of Arizona desert will find an altogether different, quieter kind of destination, built around geology and open water rather than nightlife. The route suits guests planning a Lake Powell houseboat charter, a photography-focused visit to the slot canyons, or a wider Southwestern tour continuing on to the Grand Canyon or Monument Valley, both within a few hours’ drive of Page.
