ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Super Midsize
The Hawker 4000 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 2,747 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €29,000
FASTEST
Heavy
On 2,747 nm the Embraer Legacy 600 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 17 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €51,800

On Nantucket → Lisbon, 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 Lisbon, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on ACK–LIS are set field by field — ACK and LIS each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 2,747 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on ACK–LIS, not the driver of the quote.
Nantucket → Lisbon demand cycles pull the 2,747 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at LIS constrains the lift available for 2,747 nm inbounds from Nantucket — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices ACK–LIS beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 2,747 nm.
Slot coordination at LIS — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Nantucket departures and raises handling on ACK–LIS.
At 2,747 nm, ACK–LIS sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at LIS is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the ACK–LIS quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Nantucket → Lisbon
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 LIS can trim handling and slot pressure on ACK–LIS — see the airport comparison above.
ACK ↔ LIS (2,747 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 2,747 nm run to LIS.
2,747 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on ACK–LIS cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Nantucket → Lisbon operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 2,747 nm on ACK–LIS
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Runway
6,303 ft (shorter of ACK and LIS) favours midsize and super-midsize jets; heavy metal may need payload optimisation.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 2,747 nm; ACK–LIS 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 LIS before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€25,900 – €53,100
Super Midsize through Heavy over 2,747 nm ACK–LIS, 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–LIS quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
ACK–LIS supply — workable
ACK — 23 archived movements (11 out / 12 in) from 8 operators. LIS — 36 archived movements (13 out / 23 in) from 5 operators. The thinner end sets the price on ACK–LIS: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Nantucket (ACK)
When the based fleet is committed, the next ACK–LIS 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 Lisbon (LIS)
When the based fleet is committed, the next ACK–LIS lift comes from LEST (249 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.
Lisbon (LIS)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in November and July (58% of 36 recorded legs), and falls away in August and September. For ACK–LIS that means booking the peak weeks 2–3 weeks out: the based fleet sells out first, then ferried lift, then nothing, while August is where negotiation actually works.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 2,747 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.
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.

FLEXIBLE DATES
A ±1-day window opens up meaningfully more empty-leg and repositioning options — worth signalling in the enquiry.
