Operational context
Chartering privately between Maputo International (FQMA) and Amílcar Cabral International (GVAC) removes connections entirely: 7,650 km non-stop in 8h46. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Amílcar Cabral International (3270 m runway). At this range a Gulfstream G650ER avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
