ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Cessna Citation VII clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,174 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €11,400
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,174 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 16 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €22,200

On Panama City → Orlando, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Panama City before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Orlando, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on PTY–ORL are set field by field — PTY and ORL each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,174 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on PTY–ORL, not the driver of the quote.
Panama City → Orlando demand cycles pull the 1,174 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at ORL constrains the lift available for 1,174 nm inbounds from Panama City — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices PTY–ORL beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,174 nm.
Slot coordination at ORL — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Panama City departures and raises handling on PTY–ORL.
At 1,174 nm, PTY–ORL sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at ORL is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the PTY–ORL quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Panama City → Orlando
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Panama City-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near ORL can trim handling and slot pressure on PTY–ORL — see the airport comparison above.
PTY ↔ ORL (1,174 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 PTY drops handling and slot fees on the 1,174 nm run to ORL.
1,174 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on PTY–ORL 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 1,174 nm on PTY–ORL
Typical routing
Direct PTY–ORL routing, 1,174 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Runway
6,004 ft (shorter of PTY and ORL) favours midsize and super-midsize jets; heavy metal may need payload optimisation.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 1,174 nm; PTY–ORL is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 1,174 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from PTY clears the weekday slot peak and lands ORL before midday handling pressure.

€9,900 – €22,700
Midsize through Heavy over 1,174 nm PTY–ORL, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of PTY sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. PTY–ORL quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
PTY–ORL supply — thin
PTY — 8 archived movements (5 out / 3 in) from 1 operators. ORL — 3 archived movements (1 out / 2 in) from 3 operators. Most PTY–ORL lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Orlando (ORL)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KORL (0 nm, 16 aircraft), KMCO (7 nm, 9 aircraft), KISM (16 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.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 1,174 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 PTY within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
