Private Jet Simpson Bay to Antalya

The route between Simpson Bay and Antalya spans roughly 4,945 nautical miles, a long transatlantic crossing that links the Dutch side of St Maarten with the Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. A sector of this length belongs to the ultra-long-range cabin, and aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650ER and the Bombardier Global 7500 are ideally matched to it. Both carry the range to complete the ocean crossing without a fuel stop and cruise at altitudes approaching 51,000 feet, above much of the weather and traffic below, while their cabins are arranged for the long hours involved, offering quiet interiors, effective humidity control and full-length rest for travellers who prefer to arrive composed. Departures are handled from Princess Juliana International Airport, whose private handling makes for an easy start to the journey from the Caribbean. Travellers arrive at Antalya Airport, the principal gateway to the Turkish Riviera. After the long flight, Antalya offers a memorable change of scene: the old town of Kaleiçi winding down to a sheltered harbour, the Roman landmark of Hadrian’s Gate and a coastline of clear turquoise water set against the Taurus Mountains. The resorts of Belek and Kemer, the beaches of Side and the ancient theatre at Aspendos all lie within an easy transfer, offering leisure and history in equal measure. This pairing suits discerning travellers moving between two warm-water destinations, whether for an extended holiday or private business, and it rewards those who value a single uninterrupted flight on which to rest. The ultra-long-range aircraft that serve the route make a considerable distance feel manageable, carrying passengers across the Atlantic in privacy and quiet and setting them down refreshed on the Mediterranean shore.
