Both aircraft will be based out of Planet 9’s Van
Nuys HQ in California. They offer a non-stop flying time of
nine hours, with a 4,200nm / 7,815km range and feature elegant cabins configured for 13 passengers in a
versatile layout to work, dine and relax. Up to six passengers can
be accommodated in lie flat sleeping.
Both aircraft have generous galleys for food
preparation, plus two lavatories and onboard Wi-Fi is provided by Gogo.
“We are pleased to be expanding with this popular
fleet type. This long-range aircraft is especially good to service
domestic travel requirements within the US,” said Planet 9
Cofounder and Director, Matt Walter.
Planet 9 has reported an increase in demand for North America
over the Easter and summer periods, especially for charter flights to Hawaii, Mexico, Florida and the
Caribbean.
