When a Martha’s Vineyard group needs to arrive rested after a long leg, the heavy jet is the category that makes that realistic.
Gulfstream Aerospace introduced the Gulfstream G350 in 2005. It is flown by a crew of 2. The type carries 8 to 14 passengers, cruises at 488 knots, tops out at 45,000 feet, covers 3,800 nautical miles and holds 169 cubic feet of baggage.

Why the Gulfstream G350 Fits Martha’s Vineyard
Heavy jet departures use Martha’s Vineyard Airport (KMVY), and anything international clears customs at Cape Cod Gateway (KHYA) before it goes further.
A published range of 3,800 nautical miles brings Los Angeles, San Francisco, London and Paris within reach of Martha’s Vineyard, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.
The tower keeps two sets of hours. From the middle of May to the end of October it runs from six in the morning until ten at night, and from the first of November to the middle of May it closes at five in the afternoon. A winter itinerary is worth checking against that before anything is booked.
There is no customs on Martha’s Vineyard, so an international trip clears on the mainland. Cape Cod Gateway Airport at Hyannis is the nearest customs landing rights airport, about twenty-two nautical miles away, and Nantucket has none either.
Aircraft with more than nine passenger seats need twenty-four hours’ prior permission at Martha’s Vineyard Airport, which covers most aircraft in this class. Your advisor makes that call, and it is the reason we ask for your dates as early as you can give them. The same rule at Nantucket asks for two hours, so if you are booking late and either island would do, that difference usually decides it.
The runway required on the day is a performance calculation the operator makes for that aircraft, at that weight, in the conditions on your date, so we confirm it with them for your specific trip.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
