Why the Gulfstream G650 Fits Nashville
With 7,000 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Nashville to destinations such as Cabo San Lucas, St. Maarten and Paris, allowing for reserves and routing. Spring and early summer bring thunderstorms to Middle Tennessee, and a strong line of storms can hold departures until it passes.
Nashville trips in an aircraft this size usually start at Nashville International (BNA), which is staffed around the clock and is the only airport in the Nashville area with customs. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is a calculation the operator makes for that weight and that day’s weather, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.
How Nashville Clients Use the Gulfstream G650
For international trips out of Nashville, these aircraft are built for long hours, with cabins set up for sleeping as well as working. A return from abroad lands first at Nashville International, the only airport in the Nashville area with customs.
