CORRIDOR NOTES
The rail-vs-charter equation
ICE Berlin-Hamburg runs 1h 40m at €150 second class. Charter is 40-min block, 2h 30m door-to-door for around €10,000 Light Jet. Charter wins when: 20-min departure control matters, luggage exceeds carry-on, ICE is sold out (frequent Fri afternoons), or a same-day round-trip needs to include a 4-hour meeting window with reliable evening return.
HAM GAT operational profile
24 h, ILS Cat III, no security screening for Schengen. Signature Flight Support and ExecuJet are the two active Bizav handlers. Ground processing 6-min wing-to-car. Runway 05/23 is 3,666 m — unrestricted for every commercial jet.
Turboprop economics on 40-min legs
King Air 350 runs €5,500–€7,500 vs €9,500+ for a Light Jet, at 45-min block instead of 40. On a length this short the jet's cruise-speed advantage is negligible; the King Air is the cost-optimal 6–8 passenger option and often the cheapest way to move a full board across Germany.
