For international Bahamas travel with a full group and full baggage, a long range jet is usually the right size. The Gulfstream G650 / G6 is one of the larger cabins we put in front of Bahamas groups before the trip moves to airliner-size.
Gulfstream Aerospace introduced the Gulfstream G650 / G6 in 2012. More than one lavatory is fitted, which starts to matter when the cabin is full on a long sector. FAA certified September 2012.

Why the Gulfstream G650 / G6 Fits the Bahamas
Configuration varies widely between airframes, so cabin layout should be confirmed before booking.
It carries a full cabin and full baggage without trading one against the other.
At 7,000 nautical miles published, and allowing for reserves, a Bahamas departure reaches Denver, Los Angeles, and London without a stop. The operator will confirm the actual figures for your date and routing.

- 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; reports may be provided on request.
- 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.
