Bora Bora’s runway supports turboprops, very light jets, light jets, and select midsize jets, but is not suitable for larger heavy or ultra-long-range aircraft due to runway length and performance requirements.

Landing and takeoff slots must be coordinated in advance, with priority given to private and charter aircraft. Jettly’s operations team manages all permissions and slot requests, ensuring a flawless arrival and departure for your party.

Nighttime operations are restricted at Bora Bora Airport, with no scheduled flights permitted between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM. All private jet activity is planned to comply with these curfews, maintaining the serene environment for guests and residents.

Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, and Learjet 60XR extend your range across the Pacific and Australasia, with seating for 7-9 guests and generous baggage capacity for extended stays.
Challenger 350 and Gulfstream G280 can accommodate select missions to Bora Bora, typically requiring fuel stops or repositioning, but deliver full-size cabin comfort and non-stop capability from key Pacific hubs.
Due to runway limitations, heavy jets such as Gulfstream G550 and Falcon 2000 generally operate into Tahiti (PPT) with onward transfers to Bora Bora via smaller aircraft or yacht.

Bora Bora’s runway length and operational limits mean ultra-long-range and heavy jets must use Tahiti (PPT) as the arrival point. Jettly’s advisors will recommend the optimal routing and aircraft for your itinerary.
