VIP airliners carry the Las Vegas groups that are too big for any business jet, such as convention teams, touring productions and large private parties.
Airbus introduced the A340-600 in 2002. It seats 50 to 100 with a published range of 7,800 nautical miles and a cruise of Mach 0.82 (~470 knots). The aircraft has a service ceiling of 41,450 feet, 6,426 cubic feet of baggage volume and multiple lavatories.

Why the Airbus A340-600 Fits Las Vegas
With 7,800 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Las Vegas to destinations such as Cancun, Boston and Tokyo, 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 Airbus A340-600
When a Las Vegas group outgrows a heavy jet, this is the next step. The cabin is an airliner fitted out privately, and fewer of these aircraft are available, so they usually need more notice than a business jet.
Tell us the route, how many people are flying and what they are bringing, and your advisor will confirm whether this aircraft suits the trip 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.
