Private Jet St Louis to Ankara

The route between St Louis and Ankara is a demanding one, spanning some 5,153 nautical miles from the great city on the Mississippi to the Turkish capital on the Anatolian plateau. A crossing of this length calls for an ultra-long-range aircraft, and types such as the Gulfstream G650ER or the Bombardier Global 7500 are purpose-built for it, offering the range to complete the flight nonstop and a cabin designed for sleep, work and dining across a full day aloft. At altitudes reaching 51,000 feet, passengers travel serenely above the weather and the North Atlantic traffic below. Departures are handled from St. Louis Lambert International Airport, whose executive facilities provide swift, private handling and ready ramp access a short distance from the city. The efficiency of the departure sets a composed tone for the long journey ahead. Ankara rises on the high Anatolian steppe at close to 900 metres, a city of government, learning and deep antiquity. Travellers come for the solemn grandeur of Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Ataturk, for the acclaimed Museum of Anatolian Civilisations, and for the ancient citadel quarter whose Ottoman houses look out over the plateau. Esenboga Airport lies to the north of the city, a convenient transfer from the centre. The pairing suits globally mobile private travellers and executives whose commitments span the American Midwest and Turkey, and who value a single unbroken flight over the fatigue of several connections. For those who require true intercontinental range, a cabin in which to rest fully and the discretion of executive handling at each end, St Louis to Ankara stands among the more ambitious routes that only the finest aircraft can accomplish with real composure.
