Private Jet Punta Arenas to Costa Navarino

Punta Arenas, close to the southern tip of the South American continent, lies 7,221 nautical miles from Kalamata International Airport, a distance at the outer edge of nonstop range for the longest-legged business jets currently in service, such as the Gulfstream G650ER or Bombardier Global 7500. Both types can complete the sector without a technical stop given favourable winds, cruising near 45,000 feet for a flight that typically runs close to twelve and a half hours, with a cabin built around genuine long-haul comfort, including a private sleeping suite, that makes a crossing of this length considerably more manageable than it might otherwise sound. Departing from Presidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo International Airport, passengers leave behind a city known as a gateway to Antarctica and Patagonia’s dramatic fjords. Arrival is into Kalamata International Airport at the southern end of the Peloponnese, a short drive from a city whose olives have carried its name into kitchens across the world for generations. Costa Navarino itself lies along Navarino Bay, its two resort hotels and championship golf courses set among pine-covered hills above beaches that include the dune-backed lagoon at Voidokilia. History surrounds the resort throughout Messinia, from the classical remains of Ancient Messene to the Bronze Age palace complex at Pylos, both offering a considerable contrast to Patagonia’s own wild, glacier-carved terrain. For travellers accustomed to some of the most remote and dramatic scenery on the planet, the shift to Messinia’s ancient olive groves and warm Mediterranean coastline makes for a genuinely different, gentler kind of beauty, reached in real comfort despite the exceptional distance covered.
