Why the Airbus ACJ318 Fits Nashville

With 4,200 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Nashville to destinations such as Denver, Scottsdale and St. Maarten, allowing for reserves and routing. Ramp space at Nashville International gets tight on Titans home game weekends in the fall, so a departure on those dates is worth planning early.

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 Airbus ACJ318

VIP airliners handle the Nashville groups that no business jet can take, such as large corporate trips, touring parties and big family travel. Once the group runs past nineteen passengers, the trip no longer falls under FAR Part 135, the FAA’s rules for on-demand, for-hire charter. Those flights operate under FAR Part 121 or a foreign equivalent, which generally carries stricter crew and operating requirements than both Part 91 and Part 135.

Tell us the route, the passenger count and what is traveling with you, and your advisor will confirm whether this aircraft is the right fit or suggest a better one.

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.
