ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,869 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €17,600
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,869 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 25 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €35,300

On Phoenix → Nassau, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Phoenix before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Nassau, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on PHX–NAS are set field by field — PHX and NAS each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,869 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on PHX–NAS, not the driver of the quote.
Phoenix → Nassau demand cycles pull the 1,869 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at NAS constrains the lift available for 1,869 nm inbounds from Phoenix — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices PHX–NAS beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,869 nm.
Slot coordination at NAS — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Phoenix departures and raises handling on PHX–NAS.
At 1,869 nm, PHX–NAS sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at NAS is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the PHX–NAS quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Phoenix → Nassau
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Phoenix-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near NAS can trim handling and slot pressure on PHX–NAS — see the airport comparison above.
PHX ↔ NAS (1,869 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 PHX drops handling and slot fees on the 1,869 nm run to NAS.
1,869 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on PHX–NAS cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

€15,700 – €36,100
Midsize through Heavy over 1,869 nm PHX–NAS, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of PHX sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. PHX–NAS quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
PHX–NAS supply — thin
NAS — 32 archived movements (14 out / 18 in) from 8 operators. Most PHX–NAS lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Phoenix (PHX)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KPHX (0 nm, 3 aircraft), KSDL (12 nm, 21 aircraft), KCHD (14 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.
Positioning into Nassau (NAS)
When the based fleet is committed, the next PHX–NAS lift comes from MYNN (0 nm, 9 aircraft), KFLL (158 nm, 15 aircraft), KMIA (160 nm, 8 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Nassau (NAS)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in July and August (97% of 32 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For PHX–NAS 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 1,869 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 1,869 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 PHX within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.

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