Heavy Jet Charter
Intercontinental range, family scale
Heavy jets—Gulfstream G550s and Bombardier Challenger 650s among them—fly intercontinental: flat-floor cabins standing six feet, berthing divans for twelve or more guests, and range that makes Chicago–London or Chicago–Paris a nonstop. A crew of three or four serves the crossing, and the cabin divides into working, dining, and sleeping zones that carry a family through an overnight ocean leg.
Alpha Travel arranges heavy jet charter for family holidays and small-group business moves alike, matching aircraft to headcount and luggage rather than defaulting to the largest cabin on the ramp. We coordinate slot times at Farnborough and Le Bourget, ground transfers on arrival, and the return leg's timing so the week ends as smoothly as it began.
Sample Charters
Sample charters we arrange through vetted operator partners—each flight below can be tailored to your dates, passenger count, and destination.
London family holidays
Chicago to London nonstop in about eight hours—a flat-floor cabin that berths the family overnight, lands at Farnborough, and never queues at Heathrow.
- Depart Chicago at dusk and land at Farnborough by London morning—the cabin converts to beds while the children sleep through the crossing.
- Farnborough's business aviation terminal moves a family of eight in minutes; Heathrow's immigration hall can take an hour on a bad morning.
- A week of theatre, Hyde Park mornings, and a Premier League Saturday before the same aircraft flies everyone home nonstop.
Paris spring weeks
Nonstop Chicago to Le Bourget—the historic business aviation field minutes from the Eight Arrondissement, timed to museum seasons rather than hub banks.
- Le Bourget lands you closer to central Paris than de Gaulle; the car reaches the Rue Saint-Honoré before the airlines' first bag drops.
- Seven-and-a-half-hour crossings run overnight or by day—cabin berthing lets either direction arrive rested.
- Spring weeks pair the Louvre's quieter galleries with Versailles and Giverny day trips Alpha Travel stages from the field.
Amalfi Coast summers
Nonstop to Naples for the Amalfi summer—Positano by afternoon, a week on the water, and no Rome connection to miss.
- Naples Capodichino clears general aviation in minutes; the drive to Positano runs under ninety minutes along the coast road.
- Twelve-plus seat cabins carry the extended family and a month of summer luggage in one aircraft, divans converting to beds for the overnight legs.
- Return legs depart Naples on your schedule—Sunday evening wheels-up, Monday morning back in Chicago.
