Why the Hawker 900XP Fits Kentucky
With 2,930 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Kentucky to destinations such as Orlando, Nassau and Los Angeles, allowing for reserves and routing. Plenty of Kentucky families spend part of the winter in Florida, and the weeks around the holidays are busy for flights south, so book 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 Hawker 900XP
Midsize jets take Kentucky families and business groups to Florida, the Northeast and Texas in a cabin that stays comfortable for three hours or more. The extra seats and the larger baggage hold make a real difference on a family trip.
