Private Jet Punta Arenas to Krasnoyarsk

Punta Arenas to Krasnoyarsk is among the longest city pairs in commercial private aviation, a 10,228 nautical mile journey from the Strait of Magellan to central Siberia. Nothing in service covers such a distance nonstop, so the sector is flown as an executive airliner rotation with at least one and often two technical stops, planned according to season and winds. An Airbus ACJ350 or a Boeing BBJ 777 provides the range, payload and cabin the undertaking demands, with a bedroom, a private washroom with shower and a full dining room, and both hold a cabin altitude close to 6,000 feet at cruise, which matters enormously across a total flight time approaching twenty hours. Departures are made from Presidente Carlos Ibanez del Campo International Airport, the gateway to Chilean Patagonia and the staging point for Antarctic operations, where crews are used to planning around the strong and shifting winds of the far south. Arrivals are handled at Yemelyanovo International Airport, some twenty-seven kilometres from Krasnoyarsk. The city stands on the Yenisei at the point where the West Siberian plain meets the Sayan foothills, and it serves as the administrative capital of a krai that reaches from those mountains to the Arctic coast. Below the hydroelectric dam upstream the river runs ice-free through the winter, drawing wintering waterfowl to the embankments and generating the mist that hangs over the city on the coldest mornings. The route suits scientific and polar institutions, sovereign delegations and resource groups whose commitments span both extremes of the globe, and for whom scheduled travel would mean three connections and the better part of two days in the air.
