For a Bahamas corporate group traveling several hours, a midsize cabin is usually the sensible minimum. The Learjet 60 is a practical fit for a small party crossing to the islands together.
Bombardier Aerospace introduced the Learjet 60 in 1993.

Why the Learjet 60 Fits the Bahamas
Most of the airports we use in the Bahamas accept it, though the smaller strips will not.
A stand-up cabin changes a three-hour sector completely, and this is the category where Bahamas trips from the northern US stop feeling long.
The published 2,405 nautical miles covers Toronto, Chicago, and Denver nonstop out of Nassau once you allow for winds and reserves. Treat it as a planning figure. The operator confirms what the aircraft will do on your date and load.

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; 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.
