Where it can actually go
A super-midsize jet typically needs around 5,500 ft of runway at mid weights. Measured against the 135 airports we hold real runway data for: 113 can take it, 22 cannot. Out of reach on this list: Annecy-Haute-Savoie-Mont Blanc Airport (NCY, 5,348 ft), Siegerland Airport (SGE, 5,315 ft), Augsburg Airport (AGB, 5,230 ft). That is the constraint most spec sheets leave out.

Good to know
Typical US charter rates run $5,800–$7,400 per flight hour, so a two-hour leg lands around $11,600–$14,800 before positioning. These are market estimates, not quotes — the fixed all-in number depends on your dates, positioning and airport fees, and dispatch sends it within about 30 minutes.
9 in the normal charter layout and up to 12 in a high-density configuration. Baggage is the usual real constraint: 155 cubic feet, roughly 38 large cases with soft bags on top.
4,018 nautical miles (4,624 statute miles) at a 466 kt cruise. Real range drops with headwind, full seats and hot high airports, so we plan the fuel stop rather than discover it.
As a super-midsize jet it typically needs about 5,500 ft of runway at mid weights. Across the 135 airports we hold runway data for, 113 are long enough and 22 are not — dispatch checks the actual field against your date, temperature and payload before confirming.
