Operational context
Chartering privately between Istanbul Atatürk (LTBA) and Nice Côte d'Azur (LFMN) removes connections entirely: 1,795 km non-stop in 2h24. Departure handling is provided by TAV Private; the 2960 m arrival runway at Nice Côte d'Azur drives aircraft selection. On this short sector a Falcon 2000LXS is the best cost / block-time compromise.
