Operational context
Chartering privately between Nice Côte d'Azur (LFMN) and Faro Algarve (LPFR) removes connections entirely: 1,481 km non-stop in 2h09. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Faro Algarve (2490 m runway). On this short sector a Citation XLS+ is the best cost / block-time compromise.
