Private Jet Seattle to Spokane

Seattle and Spokane are separated by a mere 200 nautical miles, among the shortest sectors flown anywhere on the network, and the hop is easily handled by a turboprop such as the Pilatus PC-12 or a very light jet like the Embraer Phenom 100, either in the air for barely thirty minutes at a modest cruise altitude before beginning the descent into the Inland Northwest. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s private aviation facilities are efficient, though the field’s overall congestion means a charter departure can still save considerable time compared with taxiing among the commercial traffic that dominates the ramp. Spokane sits on the drier, sunnier side of the Cascades from Seattle, a contrast Washington State residents know well: wheat fields and pine forest replace the coastal rain, and downtown centres on the falls of the Spokane River at Riverfront Park, a legacy of the 1974 World’s Fair, with Gonzaga University supplying much of the area’s collegiate energy. This short east-west link is used constantly by executives with operations spanning both sides of the state, by families splitting time between the two cities, and by anyone simply looking to avoid the four-hour drive across the mountain passes, particularly in winter when snow can complicate the highway route considerably. For a family relocating between the two cities, or a business with a genuine presence in both, the short flight time makes this one of the more routine and cost-effective charters in the entire Pacific Northwest network, flown at almost any hour without much advance notice. Few sectors on the network offer as much practical convenience for so little flight time.
