Very light jets including the Phenom 100 and Eclipse 550 provide fast, efficient service for travelers with small groups or tight schedules, ideal for inter-island hops and regional connections.
Light jets such as the Citation CJ1+ and Learjet 40 deliver comfortable seating for 5-7 passengers, making them a popular choice for direct flights from Tahiti, Bora Bora, or other archipelago destinations.

Super midsize jets are typically not suitable for Fangatau’s runway, but Jettly can arrange for these aircraft to operate from nearby airports when greater range or capacity is required for your journey.
Heavy jets are not supported at Fangatau due to runway limitations. For long-haul, large group travel, Jettly coordinates departures from regional airports with longer runways and full-service facilities.

Due to runway length, ultra-long-range aircraft must operate from airports like Tahiti (PPT) or Rangiroa (RGI) for extended missions. Jettly’s team will ensure your aircraft and routing are perfectly matched to your destination and travel preferences.
