Miami to Nassau by private jet
At 155 nm this is the shortest international hop in mainstream charter, 35 minutes gate to gate, and the invoice is almost entirely minimums, fees, and international handling rather than flight time. Turboprops own this route on value; the PC-12 was practically designed for it.

When you fly matters
Winter weekends and US holiday breaks drive demand. Bahamian customs fees and overflight charges add a few hundred dollars that should be itemized, not discovered.

Aircraft that fit this mission
- Pilatus PC-12 NGX: The Swiss workhorse: single-engine economics, big cross-section, happy on gravel strips.
- Embraer Phenom 100EV: Airline-grade avionics in the smallest Embraer; brisk for the class.
- Embraer Phenom 300E: Best-selling light jet for over a decade, and the default answer under 2,000 nm.
