Operational context
Chartering privately between Lanseria International (FALA) and Amílcar Cabral International (GVAC) removes connections entirely: 7,265 km non-stop in 8h20. The flight plan is filed once takeoff performance at Lanseria International (3000 m) and alternate fuel are validated. At this range a Gulfstream G650ER avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
