Frequently Asked Questions
A turboprop is the charter category best suited to short regional sectors and short or unpaved runways where a jet adds cost without saving meaningful time. SkyBridge Jets sources 3 models in this category, from the Daher TBM 960 upward.
Indicative hourly rates in this category start from around £1,650 and rise with cabin size and capability. Hourly rate is only part of the cost — positioning, airport fees, crew duty and taxes all move the final quote.
The longest-legged model we source in this category is the King Air 350i at 1,806 nm. Payload, winds and reserves reduce that in practice, so we range-check every sector before quoting.
Typical layouts in this category run up to 8–9 passengers on the King Air 350i. Seating is configuration-specific and confirmed per tail.
SkyBridge Jets is a broker, not an air carrier. Every turboprop we offer is operated by a vetted AOC holder, and the operator is named to you before you commit.
