We use several approved IFR routed for our Trans-Atlantic missions. The use of route depends on the time of year, weather conditions, aircraft range, fuel consumption, oil consumption, flight restrictions (TFRs), and general aircraft equipment.
Two main Trans-Atlantic routes may be defined as following: |
Winter Trans-Atlantic Route: If your aircraft's MTW (max. take off weight) allowes, we will fly via Santa Maria (Azores) when en route between Cascais (Portugal) to St. John (Newfoundland, Canada) as it lets us ferry airplanes all year around and not just during the summer months (via Greenland). The distance is 786 NM and 1,496 NM, respectively. |
Summer Trans-Atlantic Route: Additional Summer Transatlantic route lays via Greenland. We fly from Goose Bay, (Labrador, Canada) to Tasiilaq (Greenland) to Reykjavik (Iceland) and to Kirkwall (UK). Distances are: 626NM, 407NM and 622NM, respectively.
Other routes are taylored to the requirements and conditions available. |
