Las Vegas Boeing 787-9 (VIP) Charter

When a Las Vegas trip involves a very large group and a long distance, a VIP airliner is usually the aircraft being priced.

Boeing introduced the 787-9 (VIP) in 2014. It seats 40 to 80 with a published range of 7,565 nautical miles and a cruise of Mach 0.85 (~488 knots). The aircraft has a service ceiling of 43,000 feet, 5,452 cubic feet of baggage volume and multiple lavatories.

Why the Boeing 787-9 (VIP) Fits Las Vegas

With 7,565 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Las Vegas to destinations such as Atlanta, Boston and Tokyo, allowing for reserves and routing. The Formula 1 weekend in November is one of the busiest of the year for private aircraft in Las Vegas, and parking reservations have been required at the main airports, so aircraft for those dates 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 Boeing 787-9 (VIP)

VIP airliners handle the Las Vegas groups that no business jet can take, such as convention delegations, sports teams, touring productions and big private parties. Once the group runs past nineteen passengers, the trip no longer falls under FAR Part 135, the FAA’s rules for on-demand, for-hire charter. Those flights operate under FAR Part 121 or a foreign equivalent, which generally carries stricter crew and operating requirements than both Part 91 and Part 135.

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.
