A super light jet suits the Turks and Caicos trips where a light jet would be stretched on range, seats or baggage.

Why the IAI Westwind II Fits Turks and Caicos
With 2,560 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips between Providenciales and destinations such as Palm Beach, Philadelphia and Denver, allowing for reserves and routing. Providenciales is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time, and a later arrival can be arranged in advance, so tell us early if your group is leaving after work.
Turks and Caicos trips in this class usually arrive at Providenciales, officially Howard Hamilton International Airport, where private terminals clear you through customs away from the main airline hall. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, its weight and the day’s conditions, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.
How Turks and Caicos Clients Use the IAI Westwind II
If a light jet would need a fuel stop or cannot take all the bags, a super light jet usually solves both for the same small group.
Tell us where you are flying from, how many people are coming and what they are bringing, golf bags and dive gear included, and your advisor will say whether this aircraft suits the trip or suggest one that suits it better.
