Why the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 Fits Long Island
With 1,275 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Long Island to destinations such as Montreal, Nashville and Nassau, allowing for reserves and routing. In summer, Thursday and Friday evenings out to the Hamptons and the trips back on Sunday and Monday fill first, so book those dates early.
For an aircraft in this class, we pick the Long Island airport closest to where you are going, whether that is Republic, MacArthur, Gabreski or East Hampton. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is up to the operator for that aircraft, its weight and the conditions that day, and your advisor confirms it before anything is booked.

- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
