ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,801 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €17,000
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,801 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 24 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €34,000

On Boston → Aruba, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Boston before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Aruba, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on BED–AUA are set field by field — BED and AUA each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,801 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on BED–AUA, not the driver of the quote.
Boston → Aruba demand cycles pull the 1,801 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at AUA constrains the lift available for 1,801 nm inbounds from Boston — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices BED–AUA beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,801 nm.
Slot coordination at AUA — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Boston departures and raises handling on BED–AUA.
At 1,801 nm, BED–AUA sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at AUA is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the BED–AUA quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Boston → Aruba
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Boston-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near AUA can trim handling and slot pressure on BED–AUA — see the airport comparison above.
BED ↔ AUA (1,801 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at BED drops handling and slot fees on the 1,801 nm run to AUA.
1,801 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on BED–AUA cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

€15,200 – €34,800
Midsize through Heavy over 1,801 nm BED–AUA, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of BED sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. BED–AUA quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
BED–AUA supply — thin
BED — 11 archived movements (5 out / 6 in) from 4 operators. Most BED–AUA lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Boston (BED)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KBED (0 nm, 10 aircraft), KBOS (14 nm, 2 aircraft), KFIT (21 nm, 1 aircraft). A 30–60 minute positioning sector is normal and is already inside the quotes above — beware anyone showing a price that ignores it.
Positioning into Aruba (AUA)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from SVMI (211 nm, 1 aircraft). A 30–60 minute positioning sector is normal and is already inside the quotes above — beware anyone showing a price that ignores it.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 1,801 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 1,801 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing BED within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
