1526 nm great-circle between MVY and ANU, On request typical block time.
“Martha's Vineyard → Antigua prices off aircraft positioning on a On request sector — clients who can shift the window see the difference; clients who negotiate rarely do.”

BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Cessna Citation VII clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,526 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.

On Martha's Vineyard → Antigua, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Martha's Vineyard before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Antigua, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on MVY–ANU are set field by field — MVY and ANU each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,526 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on MVY–ANU, not the driver of the quote.
Martha's Vineyard → Antigua demand cycles pull the 1,526 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at ANU constrains the lift available for 1,526 nm inbounds from Martha's Vineyard — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices MVY–ANU beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,526 nm.
Slot coordination at ANU — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Martha's Vineyard departures and raises handling on MVY–ANU.
At 1,526 nm, MVY–ANU sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at ANU is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the MVY–ANU quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Martha's Vineyard → Antigua
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Martha's Vineyard-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near ANU can trim handling and slot pressure on MVY–ANU — see the airport comparison above.
MVY ↔ ANU (1,526 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 MVY drops handling and slot fees on the 1,526 nm run to ANU.
1,526 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on MVY–ANU cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Martha's Vineyard → Antigua operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 1,526 nm on MVY–ANU
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Runway
5,504 ft (shorter of MVY and ANU) favours midsize and super-midsize jets; heavy metal may need payload optimisation.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 1,526 nm; MVY–ANU is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Cold gourmet catering, coffee/espresso, single hot service typical.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from MVY clears the weekday slot peak and lands ANU before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€12,800 – €16,200
Midsize through Midsize over 1,526 nm MVY–ANU, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of MVY sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. MVY–ANU quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
MVY–ANU supply — thin
MVY — 12 archived movements (9 out / 3 in) from 5 operators. ANU — 1 archived movements (1 out / 0 in) from 1 operators. Most MVY–ANU lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Martha's Vineyard (MVY)
When the based fleet is committed, the next MVY–ANU lift comes from KPYM (31 nm, 1 aircraft), KWST (54 nm, 8 aircraft), KBOS (61 nm, 2 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Positioning into Antigua (ANU)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from TFFJ (76 nm, 2 aircraft), TISX (176 nm, 2 aircraft), TIST (196 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 1,526 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 1,526 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 MVY within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.

LEAD TIME
48–72 hours is comfortable — 12 hours is achievable when aircraft are in position.
BEST BOOKING WINDOW
Tuesday–Thursday midweek is typically the lowest-friction window on this pair.
FLEXIBLE DATES
A ±1-day window opens up meaningfully more empty-leg and repositioning options — worth signalling in the enquiry.
