Cairns Aircraft Hire & Private Jet Hire

CAIRNS AIRCRAFT HIRE & AIRCRAFT CATEGORIES

Charter Aircraft can be broken down into three categories. Piston Engine, Turboprop and Jet Aircraft. Piston Engine aircraft are suitable for shorter flights are generally unpressurised (The Aircraft can fly to a maximum altitude of 10,000ft) and depending on the aircraft type can hold from 1 – 10 passengers. Turboprop Aircraft are much more capable, pressurised and can travel much further without the requirement of a fuel stop. A number of airlines utilise Turboprop aircraft such as the Dash 8, SAAB 340, ATR 72 and many more. Private Jets are the ultimate in Private Aviation. Private Jets are generally powered by two Jet Engines (some new generation light jets have one engine) and pressurised and depending on the type have a large range meaning they can travel long distances in extreme confort.

PISTON ENGINE AIRCRAFT

Piston Engine aircraft are great for small charter flight groups. Light piston aircraft and generally used for flight training, shorter distance charter flights and can land on most runways including grass and un-sealed runways.

TURBOPROP AIRCRAFT

Turbo Aircraft are perfect for small to medium groups. These aircraft are pressurised and can travel large distances without stopping. Turboprops are regularly used by regional Airlines and often for Fly In Fly Our services for landing on un-sealed and short mining strips.
