ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Cessna Citation VII clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,327 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €12,800
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,327 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX 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 €25,000

On Mexico City → Charleston, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Mexico City before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Charleston, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on TLC–CHS are set field by field — TLC and CHS each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,327 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on TLC–CHS, not the driver of the quote.
Mexico City → Charleston demand cycles pull the 1,327 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at CHS constrains the lift available for 1,327 nm inbounds from Mexico City — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices TLC–CHS beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,327 nm.
Slot coordination at CHS — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Mexico City departures and raises handling on TLC–CHS.
At 1,327 nm, TLC–CHS sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at CHS is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the TLC–CHS quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Mexico City → Charleston
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Mexico City-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near CHS can trim handling and slot pressure on TLC–CHS — see the airport comparison above.
TLC ↔ CHS (1,327 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 TLC drops handling and slot fees on the 1,327 nm run to CHS.
1,327 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on TLC–CHS cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

€11,200 – €25,700
Midsize through Heavy over 1,327 nm TLC–CHS, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of TLC sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. TLC–CHS quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
TLC–CHS supply — thin
CHS — 2 archived movements (1 out / 1 in) from 2 operators. Most TLC–CHS lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Mexico City (TLC)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from MMTO (0 nm, 21 aircraft), MMVR (192 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 Charleston (CHS)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KCHS (0 nm, 1 aircraft), KLRO (13 nm, 2 aircraft), KCAE (83 nm, 2 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 1,327 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 1,327 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 TLC within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
