Why the Saab 340 Fits Las Vegas
With 785 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Las Vegas to destinations such as Orange County, Salt Lake City and Denver, allowing for reserves and routing. CES in January and the NBAA business aviation convention in October fill the Las Vegas ramps, so aircraft for those weeks are worth booking early.
Las Vegas trips in an aircraft this size usually start at Harry Reid International (KLAS), which is open around the clock and is the only airport in the Las Vegas area with customs. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date depends on its weight and that day’s temperature and wind. The operator works that out, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.
How Las Vegas Clients Use the Saab 340
Freight charters to and from Las Vegas cover urgent parts, show equipment and relief supplies that need their own aircraft. How the aircraft loads, through a large side door or the nose, matters as much as how much it can carry.
Tell us the weight, the dimensions and where the load is picked up and delivered, and your advisor will confirm whether this aircraft suits it or suggest one that does.
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.
