Private Jet Santa Ana to Ankara

The route connecting Santa Ana with Ankara stretches to approximately 6,100 nautical miles, among the longer crossings a private aircraft can undertake and a true test of intercontinental reach. A sector of this length is best served by an executive airliner such as the Airbus ACJ320neo or a large ultra-long-range jet like the Bombardier Global 7500, each able to complete the journey nonstop while offering generous cabin space. Cruising in the mid-forties, these aircraft ride above the weather in near silence, giving passengers the room to work, dine and sleep as the long eastbound hours pass. On a flight of this scale the size of the cabin and the range of the aircraft matter more than almost anything else. Departures are handled at John Wayne Airport, the principal gateway to Orange County, whose private aviation facilities allow a quick and discreet start to the journey. The aircraft arrives at Esenboğa Airport, some twenty-eight kilometres north-east of Ankara, a short transfer from the centre. The Turkish capital sits on the central Anatolian plateau at around 938 metres, a city of ministries and quiet cultural depth. Visitors are drawn to Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Atatürk, and to the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations, while the old citadel above Ulus and the Roman Temple of Augustus mark the city’s far older past. Given its length, this route best suits corporate executives, investors and private parties in southern California who place a premium on arriving rested and unhurried after a single, uninterrupted flight to central Turkey rather than a connection through a European hub.
