Private Jet Simpson Bay to Alexandria

Princess Juliana International Airport in Simpson Bay, famous the world over for the low approach that passes directly above Maho Beach, is the departure point for a long transatlantic crossing to Alexandria covering roughly 5,006 nautical miles. Given the distance, this is firmly ultra-long-range territory, and a Gulfstream G650ER or Global 6000 is the natural pairing, cruising efficiently at altitudes approaching 45,000 feet through a flight of around nine and a half hours. St Maarten’s dual Dutch and French character, its lively marina scene and its reputation as a sailing and superyacht hub give the departure its own distinct flavour before the aircraft settles into a long, quiet cruise across the Atlantic and southern Europe. Landing at Borg El Arab International Airport brings passengers within a short transfer of Alexandria, a Mediterranean port city whose harbour has welcomed traders since antiquity. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern reinterpretation of the ancient world’s most famous library, anchors the seafront, while the Qaitbay Citadel stands watch over the harbour entrance on the ground once occupied by the legendary Pharos lighthouse. Beyond the headline monuments, Alexandria’s downtown carries a faded, Belle Époque elegance, its tram network and fish markets giving the city a working rhythm distinct from Cairo’s intensity. Given the length of the crossing, cabin comfort and connectivity matter as much as raw performance, and both recommended aircraft types provide berthable seating, full galleys and quiet cabins built for genuine rest. This pairing tends to suit Caribbean-based owners and charter groups whose business or leisure interests extend into Egypt and the wider eastern Mediterranean, where a single uninterrupted sector remains preferable to routing through a connecting hub.
