Operational context
Chartering privately between Hosea Kutako International (FYWH) and Amílcar Cabral International (GVAC) removes connections entirely: 6,194 km non-stop in 7h18. The constraint here is rarely range but slot and parking availability at Amílcar Cabral International (3270 m runway). At this range a Falcon 8X avoids a tech stop and preserves cabin comfort.
