Bahamas charter reaches for super midsize aircraft when a fuel stop would cost more than the aircraft upgrade. The Hawker 1000 suits a full working group or a family traveling together rather than a couple of passengers.
British Aerospace / Raytheon introduced the Hawker 1000 in 1991. It is used out of the Bahamas partly because it can cross an ocean nonstop. Range varies 2970-3520 across sources. Every Hawker 1000 we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Hawker 1000 Fits the Bahamas
It suits the trip where range is the constraint and the group is still under ten.
It is often the best value per passenger mile on a long sector with a mid-sized group.
Published range is 3,170 nautical miles, which puts Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles within a single sector of the Bahamas once reserves are allowed for. That is a planning number rather than a promise, and the operator will confirm it against your routing.

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.
