Turks and Caicos Jet Charter arranges passenger charter to and from Turks and Caicos in every size of aircraft, from a turboprop for a short trip to Nassau or San Juan to a VIP airliner for a wedding party or a company group. The right category for your trip comes down to four things: how far you are going, how many people are traveling, how much baggage is coming, and the airports at both ends.
Aircraft Categories
- Helicopters, where the route and conditions suit one
- Piston aircraft for the shortest regional trips
- Turboprops for Nassau, San Juan and South Florida
- Very light jets for a small group on a shorter trip
- Light jets for South Florida, Atlanta and Washington
- Super light jets for a little more cabin and range
- Midsize jets for New York, Boston, Toronto and Chicago
- Super midsize jets for Denver and most of the mainland
- Heavy jets for larger groups, including from the West Coast
- Long range jets for London, Paris and other long trips
- VIP airliners for groups that outgrow a heavy jet
Each category page lists the aircraft we arrange in it, with cabin, range and seating for each type.
Choosing a Category for Your Trip
Most trips to Turks and Caicos are vacations, and the first question is where you are flying from. From South Florida a light jet is often enough, while New York, Boston, Toronto and Chicago usually call for a midsize jet or larger, and the West Coast or Europe calls for more range. Families and wedding groups are common, so tell us the passenger count and the baggage, including golf bags, dive gear and beach equipment, at the start.
Once the group runs past nineteen passengers, the trip calls for an airliner-size aircraft and no longer falls under FAR Part 135, the FAA’s rules for on-demand, for-hire charter. Those flights operate under FAR Part 121 or a foreign equivalent, which generally carries stricter crew and operating requirements than both Part 91 and Part 135.
The airport matters as well. Every flight from abroad lands first at Providenciales, Grand Turk or South Caicos to clear customs, and almost every private flight uses Providenciales, officially Howard Hamilton International Airport. North Caicos, Salt Cay and Pine Cay only take flights from within the territory, and Parrot Cay has no airstrip. Whether a particular aircraft can use a particular island 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.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
