Longest Runway



Due to runway length and surface conditions at Gizo, operations are best suited to turboprops, light jets, and select midsize aircraft. Larger heavy jets may require repositioning to Honiara or alternate regional airports for maximum range.

Gizo operates a flexible scheduling system with no commercial slot constraints. However, all private jet movements must be pre-coordinated with Jettly’s operations team to secure landing permits and ensure priority ground handling.

While Gizo does not enforce formal noise curfews, all flight operations are limited to daylight hours due to runway lighting restrictions. Arrivals and departures must be scheduled between sunrise and sunset local time.
Private jet passengers at Gizo are personally welcomed by dedicated ground staff, who provide bespoke arrival and departure services. The on-site facilities are tailored for VIP handling and seamless transfers.
Gizo ground handlers offer personalized arrivals, shaded lounge areas, expedited customs and immigration clearance, secure luggage handling, and direct-to-resort boat transfers. Luxury ground and water transportation is arranged on request.
King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12, and Cessna Caravan are the ideal choices for short island hops and accessing airstrips with limited runway length. Perfect for reaching remote lodges, dive resorts, and neighboring islands.
Aircraft such as the Phenom 100 and Eclipse 550 are suitable for short-range missions with up to four passengers, delivering cost-efficient access to the Western Province and beyond.
The Citation CJ3+, Phenom 300, and Learjet 40XR are popular for flights from Australia, Papua New Guinea, and New Zealand, comfortably seating 6-7 guests and ensuring swift, direct arrivals in Gizo.
Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, and Learjet 60 offer expanded range and comfort for regional missions, accommodating 7-9 passengers and providing ample space for luggage and diving gear.
Challenger 350, Citation Sovereign, and Gulfstream G200 are available for longer-range trips, subject to operational limitations for Gizo’s runway, and are best for flights from key Pacific gateways.
Heavy jets such as the Gulfstream G450, Falcon 2000, and Challenger 604 may be able to operate with weight restrictions, but are generally better suited to Honiara for full range capability and larger groups.

While Gizo offers direct access to the Solomon Islands’ top luxury destinations, ultra-long-range aircraft are best accommodated at Honiara International (HIR) due to runway length and weight requirements. Jettly’s advisors will guide you to the most suitable departure and arrival points for your mission.
