Operational context
Chartering privately between Marseille Provence (LFML) and Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis (LGIR) removes connections entirely: 1,930 km non-stop in 2h33. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Heraklion Nikos Kazantzakis (2680 m runway). On this short sector a Falcon 2000LXS is the best cost / block-time compromise.
