Light jets such as the Citation CJ3 and Phenom 300 offer comfortable seating for 6-7 guests, easily handling routes to Liberia, Panama City, or regional Caribbean destinations in under two hours.

Heavy jets are not able to operate from Pandora due to runway length and field limitations. For transcontinental or intercontinental charters, clients are routed via Limón International or San José.
