Operational context
Chartering privately between Santorini National (LGSR) and Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LFLL) removes connections entirely: 1,992 km non-stop in 2h37. Departure handling is provided by GoldAir Handling Santorini; the 4000 m arrival runway at Lyon Saint-Exupéry drives aircraft selection. On this short sector a Falcon 2000LXS is the best cost / block-time compromise.
