ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,790 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €16,900
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,790 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 €33,800
BEST FOR SKI TRIPS
Super Midsize
Ski bags need external hold space and the Bombardier Challenger 300 has it — plus the runway performance to operate cleanly into the alpine airports typically used for Jackson Hole.
Indicative all-in €19,300

On Nantucket → Jackson Hole, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Nantucket before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Jackson Hole, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on ACK–JAC are set field by field — ACK and JAC each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,790 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on ACK–JAC, not the driver of the quote.
Nantucket → Jackson Hole demand cycles pull the 1,790 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at JAC constrains the lift available for 1,790 nm inbounds from Nantucket — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices ACK–JAC beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,790 nm.
Slot coordination at JAC — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Nantucket departures and raises handling on ACK–JAC.
At 1,790 nm, ACK–JAC sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at JAC is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the ACK–JAC quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Nantucket → Jackson Hole
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Nantucket-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near JAC can trim handling and slot pressure on ACK–JAC — see the airport comparison above.
ACK ↔ JAC (1,790 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 ACK drops handling and slot fees on the 1,790 nm run to JAC.
1,790 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on ACK–JAC cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Nantucket → Jackson Hole operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 1,790 nm on ACK–JAC
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Mountain airport
Terrain-critical approach at Jackson Hole — expect a curved / visual segment. Weather minima are stricter than at flatland fields.
Runway
6,300 ft (shorter of ACK and JAC) favours midsize and super-midsize jets; heavy metal may need payload optimisation.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 1,790 nm; ACK–JAC 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 ACK clears the weekday slot peak and lands JAC before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€15,100 – €34,600
Midsize through Heavy over 1,790 nm ACK–JAC, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of ACK sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. ACK–JAC quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
ACK–JAC supply — workable
ACK — 23 archived movements (11 out / 12 in) from 8 operators. JAC — 22 archived movements (10 out / 12 in) from 9 operators. The thinner end sets the price on ACK–JAC: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Nantucket (ACK)
When the based fleet is committed, the next ACK–JAC lift comes from KPYM (50 nm, 1 aircraft), KWST (79 nm, 8 aircraft), KBOS (79 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 Jackson Hole (JAC)
When the based fleet is committed, the next ACK–JAC lift comes from KDIJ (18 nm, 1 aircraft), KPIH (91 nm, 4 aircraft), KCOD (92 nm, 4 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 1,790 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 1,790 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 ACK 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.

Indicative one-way pricing on this pair is €15,000–€35,000 one-way, all-in, depending on aircraft class and season. Empty legs run 25–75% below these ranges.
Dassault Falcon 50EX (Heavy) is our standing pick — On 1,790 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.
Yes on midsize and larger aircraft with external baggage (Bombardier Learjet 60XR and up). Board bags and ski cases fit the hold on Dassault Falcon 50EX.
Alpine access is the constraint — see the airport comparison below.
Snow, low ceilings and crosswinds can force diversion to a valley alternate. Aircraft type-rating and current alternate briefings materially reduce the risk.
Christmas / New Year and February half-term are the hardest weeks — book 4–8 weeks ahead for those.
Yes — Nantucket July 4 and August peak in Jul–Aug materially compresses aircraft availability; book 4–8 weeks ahead for that window.
Observed pricing
On a 1,790 nm sector our fixed-price model quotes €17,500 for a midsize and €25,600 for a heavy in standard season — 3 cabin classes clear the range and runway test here.
