The Greenwich to Nassau corridor is served by private charter through Limitless Sky. This page consolidates the airport options, aircraft classes and pricing context for the route, plus availability of empty legs and concierge ground arrangements at both ends.
980 nm great-circle between HPN and NAS, 2h 50m typical block time.
“Aircraft positioning sets the Greenwich–Nassau number on a 2h 50m sector; flexing around it beats negotiating on rate.”

WHAT TO DO NEXT · AIRCRAFT CHOICE DECIDES THIS SECTOR
Aircraft choice matters more than usual here because the limiting field removes classes that otherwise have the range for the sector — the runway, not the distance, sets the short-list.
ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Embraer Phenom 100EV clears both runways and has range headroom on the 980 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €7,700
MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Greenwich–Nassau — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.
Indicative all-in €9,800
FASTEST
Super Midsize
On 980 nm the Bombardier Challenger 300 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 18 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €11,200

11,353ft
HPN publishes 6,549 ft of runway, which accepts super-midsize aircraft and below at full performance.
NAS publishes 11,353 ft, accepting ultra-long-range aircraft and below.
The 980 nm sector is inside the usable range of light jet, midsize, super-midsize, heavy jet and ultra-long-range metal after IFR reserves.
Runway length at HPN (Greenwich) — not range — removes heavy jet and ultra-long-range from this pair; Super-midsize is the practical ceiling into the field.
Nonstop and runway-legal on this pair: light jet, midsize and super-midsize.
Payload or fuel trade-offs apply where the published runway sits under the preferred length (heavy jet 7,500 ft preferred; ultra-long-range 8,000 ft preferred).
ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Greenwich → Nassau, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Greenwich before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Nassau, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on HPN–NAS are set field by field — HPN and NAS each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 980 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on HPN–NAS, not the driver of the quote.
Greenwich → Nassau demand cycles pull the 980 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at NAS constrains the lift available for 980 nm inbounds from Greenwich — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices HPN–NAS beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 980 nm.
Slot coordination at NAS — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Greenwich departures and raises handling on HPN–NAS.
At 980 nm, HPN–NAS sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at NAS is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the HPN–NAS quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Greenwich → Nassau
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Greenwich-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near NAS can trim handling and slot pressure on HPN–NAS — see the airport comparison above.
HPN ↔ NAS (980 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 HPN drops handling and slot fees on the 980 nm run to NAS.
980 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on HPN–NAS cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Greenwich → Nassau operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 980 nm on HPN–NAS
Typical routing
Direct HPN–NAS routing, 980 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Noise / curfew
Night curfew at Greenwich (23:00–07:00 restricted).
Runway
6,549 ft (shorter of HPN and NAS) favours midsize and super-midsize jets; heavy metal may need payload optimisation.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 980 nm; HPN–NAS is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 980 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from HPN clears the weekday slot peak and lands NAS before midday handling pressure.

ASK A QUESTIONAirborne time is approximately 2h 50m on the 980 nm great-circle sector in a light jet, or about 3h 05m block to block once taxi at HPN and NAS is counted. Across the 3 classes that clear both runways nonstop, block time runs from 2h 50m in a super-midsize to 3h 05m in a light jet. Runway length at HPN — not range — keeps heavy jet and ultra-long-range off the pair, so these times assume super-midsize or smaller. Figures are indicative great-circle estimates; actual times move with routing, winds and ATC on the day.
Over the 980 nm sector our desk models light jet charter from €6,600 one-way, midsize from €8,300 and super-midsize from €9,600. Neither field length nor sector range removes a cabin category here, so the spread between light jet and super-midsize reflects cabin choice rather than an operating restriction on the pair. These are modelled charter estimates for this pair — not live quotes, not observed transactions — and the final figure moves with aircraft positioning and availability on the date.
Cessna Citation VII (Midsize) is our standing pick — Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Greenwich–Nassau — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.
Runway constraints dominate — Cessna Citation VII is currently the sweet-spot answer.
Depends on the specific airport — some Caribbean fields are STOL-only. See the airport comparison.
Dec–Apr high season; hurricane risk pushes cost and cancellation risk Aug–Oct.
NAS is 20 min to Paradise Island and central Nassau; family-island hops by small-cabin. Paradise Island and the Exumas onward.
Observed pricing
On a 980 nm sector our fixed-price model quotes €8,300 for a light jet and €20,000 for an ultra long range in standard season — 5 cabin classes clear the range and runway test here.
