Operational context
Chartering privately between Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LFLL) and Biarritz Pays Basque (LFBZ) removes connections entirely: 580 km non-stop in 1h04. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Biarritz Pays Basque (2250 m runway). A helicopter connection to Saint-Jean-de-Luz / Hossegor can be added to the quote.
