There is no formal noise curfew in place at Guanaja, but all operations are subject to daytime operating hours and local authority guidelines. Night operations may be restricted and should be coordinated in advance to ensure compliance.
Guanaja’s private jet guests are welcomed by dedicated handlers who provide VIP arrival and departure services, customs assistance, and personalized ground support. The available FBO is:

Pilatus PC-12, King Air 350, and Cessna Grand Caravan are ideal for short island hops, resort transfers, and regional flights throughout Honduras and the Caribbean.
Phenom 100 and Eclipse 550 provide cost-effective, efficient travel for 3-4 passengers on direct routes from Central America and nearby islands.
Popular models such as the Citation CJ3+, Phenom 300, and Learjet 40XR are perfect for quick flights to Miami, Belize, or Roatan, comfortably seating 6-7 guests.
Citation XLS+ and Hawker 800XP deliver greater range, baggage capacity, and cabin comfort for flights connecting Guanaja to Houston, Panama City, or Mexico City.
Challenger 350 and Gulfstream G280 can operate into Guanaja with weight restrictions, providing premium comfort for longer missions throughout the region.
Heavy jets such as the Falcon 2000 or Challenger 604 may be able to operate at reduced weights, but are best suited for arrivals into Roatan due to Guanaja’s runway length.

Due to Guanaja’s runway limitations, ultra-long-range and heavy jets are best routed to Roatan or mainland Honduras for unrestricted operations. Jettly’s team will always confirm the most suitable airport for your aircraft and itinerary.
