A direct flight is not automatic

An ultra-long-range aircraft such as the Global 7500 can be assessed. Published range is based on reference conditions, however, and does not guarantee that a particular aircraft can complete your requested mission non-stop.

The operator calculates payload, fuel, reserves, wind and the selected runway. If a stop is required, its time and formalities are additional; the location is chosen for the actual flight.

In New York: check departure weight

Teterboro is one option to compare with other airports in the area. The airport operator applies a 100,000-pound actual weight limit unless prior permission is granted. For a long crossing, fuel and baggage can affect that decision. The flight operator checks aircraft compatibility and required documents.

Arrive in Cape Town and continue your stay

Our Cape Town airport guide and destination article help prepare arrival. The transfer depends on your address and formalities; an extension elsewhere in southern Africa is planned as a separate leg.

South African and US entry requirements depend on each passenger's nationality and documents. Our team coordinates the checks with the operator; private aviation does not remove these procedures.

Your quote: compare both directions and the stay

Availability of an ultra-long-range aircraft, positioning, any stop and the return all affect price. The quote sets out services and terms for your programme rather than applying a uniform published fare.
