Operational context
Chartering privately between Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas (LEMD) and Istanbul Atatürk (LTBA) removes connections entirely: 2,713 km non-stop in 3h27. Departure handling is provided by Executive Aviation Madrid; the 3000 m arrival runway at Istanbul Atatürk drives aircraft selection.
