Operational context
Chartering privately between Sangster International (MKJS) and Jacarepaguá Roberto Marinho (SBJR) removes connections entirely: 5,946 km non-stop in 7h01. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Jacarepaguá Roberto Marinho (900 m runway). At this range a Falcon 8X avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
