“Nantucket → Paris prices off aircraft positioning on a On request sector — clients who can shift the window see the difference; clients who negotiate rarely do.”

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Super Midsize
The Gulfstream G280 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 2,988 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €31,500
FASTEST
Heavy
On 2,988 nm the Gulfstream G350 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 19 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €56,400

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Nantucket → Paris, 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 Paris, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on ACK–LBG are set field by field — ACK and LBG each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 2,988 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on ACK–LBG, not the driver of the quote.
Nantucket → Paris demand cycles pull the 2,988 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at LBG constrains the lift available for 2,988 nm inbounds from Nantucket — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices ACK–LBG beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 2,988 nm.
Slot coordination at LBG — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Nantucket departures and raises handling on ACK–LBG.
At 2,988 nm, ACK–LBG sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at LBG is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the ACK–LBG quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Nantucket → Paris
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 LBG can trim handling and slot pressure on ACK–LBG — see the airport comparison above.
ACK ↔ LBG (2,988 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 2,988 nm run to LBG.
2,988 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on ACK–LBG cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Nantucket → Paris operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 2,988 nm on ACK–LBG
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Runway
6,303 ft (shorter of ACK and LBG) favours midsize and super-midsize jets; heavy metal may need payload optimisation.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 2,988 nm; ACK–LBG 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 LBG before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€28,200 – €57,800
Super Midsize through Heavy over 2,988 nm ACK–LBG, 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–LBG quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
ACK–LBG supply — workable
ACK — 23 archived movements (11 out / 12 in) from 8 operators. LBG — 399 archived movements (199 out / 200 in) from 25 operators. The thinner end sets the price on ACK–LBG: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Nantucket (ACK)
When the based fleet is committed, the next ACK–LBG 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 Paris (LBG)
When the based fleet is committed, the next ACK–LBG lift comes from LFPB (0 nm, 34 aircraft), LFPO (14 nm, 1 aircraft), LFPN (18 nm, 1 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Paris (LBG) — arriving from ACK
LBG arriving from ACK: Not slot-coordinated for GA; peak arrivals ahead of Salon du Bourget saturate the ramp.
Paris (LBG)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in July and August (86% of 399 recorded legs), and falls away in January and December. For ACK–LBG that means booking the peak weeks 2–3 weeks out: the based fleet sells out first, then ferried lift, then nothing, while January is where negotiation actually works.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 2,988 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.
Paris — real alternatives, and when we use them
Paris CDG (CDG), 15 km out — Weight-unrestricted; use when your aircraft or fuel load exceeds LBG's ramp/runway comfort or during Salon du Bourget week. Trade-off: slot scarcity. Paris Orly (ORY), 25 km out — Southern-Paris arrival when your meetings are La Défense-south. Trade-off: coordinated slots.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing ACK within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
