Private Jet Revelstoke to Ankara

The route from Revelstoke to Ankara runs to approximately 5,144 nautical miles, a long transatlantic crossing from the mountains of British Columbia to the Turkish capital. A sector of this length falls to the heavy and ultra-long-range classes, and aircraft such as the Gulfstream G550 and the Bombardier Global 6000 fly it comfortably nonstop, carrying the fuel for the distance and its reserves. Cruising near 45,000 feet, they offer a quiet, pressurised cabin above the weather, with space to work, dine and rest across the eastbound night. The range of these types is what makes a single-leg crossing practical from a mountain airfield of this kind. Departures are handled at Revelstoke Airport, a small mountain field serving one of Canada’s finest ski regions, whose quiet setting allows an unusually private and unhurried start. The aircraft arrives at Esenboğa Airport, some twenty-eight kilometres north-east of Ankara, a short transfer from the centre. Set on the central Anatolian plateau at around 938 metres, the Turkish capital carries the composed character of a seat of government. Its landmarks include Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Atatürk, the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations with its celebrated Hittite collection, and the ancient citadel that crowns the Ulus district above the modern city. This route suits resort residents, business owners and private parties in interior British Columbia who prefer the assurance of a direct flight to the friction of a European stop. For those departing the mountains of Revelstoke, a single nonstop crossing to Ankara offers reach, comfort and a welcome simplicity.
