ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Cessna Citation VII clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,480 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €14,100
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,480 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 20 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €27,900

On Miami → Denver, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Miami before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Denver, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on OPF–APA are set field by field — OPF and APA each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,480 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on OPF–APA, not the driver of the quote.
Miami → Denver demand cycles pull the 1,480 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at APA constrains the lift available for 1,480 nm inbounds from Miami — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices OPF–APA beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,480 nm.
Slot coordination at APA — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Miami departures and raises handling on OPF–APA.
At 1,480 nm, OPF–APA sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at APA is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the OPF–APA quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Miami → Denver
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Miami-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near APA can trim handling and slot pressure on OPF–APA — see the airport comparison above.
OPF ↔ APA (1,480 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 OPF drops handling and slot fees on the 1,480 nm run to APA.
1,480 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on OPF–APA cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 1,480 nm on OPF–APA
Typical routing
Direct OPF–APA routing, 1,480 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Runway
8,002 ft (shorter of OPF and APA) accommodates super-midsize and heavy jets on typical payloads.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 1,480 nm; OPF–APA is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 1,480 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from OPF clears the weekday slot peak and lands APA before midday handling pressure.

€12,500 – €28,600
Midsize through Heavy over 1,480 nm OPF–APA, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of OPF sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. OPF–APA quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
OPF–APA supply — workable
OPF — 91 archived movements (49 out / 42 in) from 11 operators. APA — 18 archived movements (7 out / 11 in) from 4 operators. The thinner end sets the price on OPF–APA: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Miami (OPF)
When the based fleet is committed, the next OPF–APA lift comes from KOPF (0 nm, 29 aircraft), KMIA (7 nm, 8 aircraft), KFLL (12 nm, 15 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 Denver (APA)
When the based fleet is committed, the next OPF–APA lift comes from KAPA (0 nm, 62 aircraft), KCFO (19 nm, 1 aircraft), KBJC (24 nm, 19 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Miami (OPF) — departing for APA
OPF departing for APA: PPR none.
Denver (APA)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in July and August (89% of 18 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For OPF–APA that means booking the peak weeks 2–3 weeks out: the based fleet sells out first, then ferried lift, then nothing, while September is where negotiation actually works.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 1,480 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 1,480 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.
Miami — real alternatives, and when we use them
Miami Executive (TMB), 25 km out — Closest GA option to Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. Trade-off: shorter runway. Fort Lauderdale (FLL), 40 km out — Overflow with strong FBO capacity.

Most of the spread between two quotes for Miami → Denver is positioning: ferry time in, ferry time out, and whether the aircraft has onward work at Denver.
Yes — Art Basel Miami Beach in early Dec materially compresses aircraft availability; book 4–8 weeks ahead for that window.
