Private Jet Savannah to Antalya

The route between Savannah and Antalya measures about 5,179 nautical miles, a long transatlantic passage linking the Georgia coast with the Mediterranean shore of southern Turkey. The distance can be flown non-stop by an ultra-long-range jet such as the Gulfstream G650ER, or by a capable heavy jet like the Gulfstream G550. The G650ER covers the sector with ease, cruising at altitudes approaching 51,000 feet where the smoother air and low cabin altitude help passengers arrive rested. Both types offer quiet, spacious cabins in which to work, dine and sleep across the many hours aloft. Departures use Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, whose private handling and position near the historic coast make for a convenient and efficient start to the long north-easterly track towards Europe and the Mediterranean. Antalya is among the most rewarding destinations on the Turkish Riviera. The city gathers around the old quarter of Kaleici, where lanes of restored timber houses descend to a Roman harbour now filled with yachts. The second-century Hadrian’s Gate marks the historic entrance, while the Taurus Mountains rise behind the coast, their peaks holding snow into spring. Konyaalti and Lara beaches stretch along the shore, and the great theatre of Aspendos lies a short drive inland for those with an appetite for the classical past. With a choice of heavy jet or ultra-long-range aircraft, this route adapts well to parties of varying size travelling from the American south-east to the eastern Mediterranean. It suits couples seeking a discreet, restful crossing as readily as smaller groups for whom cabin space across the many hours aloft is the deciding factor in how the journey to Antalya should be flown.
