Why the Gulfstream G100 / G150 Fits Kentucky
With 2,950 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Kentucky to destinations such as Orlando, Nassau and Los Angeles, allowing for reserves and routing. Derby week in Louisville and the Keeneland meets in Lexington are the busiest times for private flights in Kentucky, so book those dates early.
Kentucky trips in this class usually depart from Louisville Muhammad Ali International or Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, and from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International for the north of the state. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator before anything is booked.
How Kentucky Clients Use the Gulfstream G100 / G150
Kentucky clients book midsize jets for winter trips to Florida with a full set of bags, and for owners and buyers traveling between the horse sales in Lexington and the farms in Ocala.
Give us the route, who is flying and what they are bringing, golf clubs included, and your advisor will tell you whether this aircraft is right or suggest one that suits the trip better.

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- 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.
