The figures below summarize the performance and dimensions that matter most when you are matching an aircraft to a trip. They reflect typical configurations; exact numbers vary with weight, weather, and how a given aircraft is equipped.

With a range of approximately 1,750 nautical miles, the An-38 is ideal for regional journeys, connecting city pairs such as Miami to San Juan, Anchorage to Seattle, or Paris to Casablanca without the need for fuel stops. This endurance makes it a dependable choice for remote operations and multi-segment itineraries. | Short-field performance is one of the An-38’s hallmarks, requiring less than 3,300 feet for takeoff and about 3,050 feet for landing. This allows access to small airports and airstrips that are often out of reach for traditional jets. Cruise speeds up to 380 mph and a service ceiling of 27,000 feet ensure efficient flight times and smooth travel above inclement weather. | Twin Honeywell engines provide reliable power and redundancy, ensuring peace of mind for passengers and operators alike. Combined with low operating costs, the An-38 is a superb solution for group charters that require flexibility and reach.

The An-38’s cabin is designed for comfort and practicality on regional flights. Passengers enjoy a spacious, well-lit environment with comfortable, upright seating and generous aisle space, making it easy to move throughout the aircraft during flight. | A maximum seating configuration of 27 is available, while many charters opt for 25 for improved comfort and luggage allowance. Overhead bins and dedicated baggage areas provide ample storage for group travel needs. | The cabin includes large windows for natural light, optional air conditioning, and a compact rear lavatory for convenience. For business or adventure travel, the An-38’s straightforward design ensures a reliable, enjoyable journey even on the most remote routes.




The An-38 is less suited for ultra-long-range or luxury intercontinental travel, where larger jets are required, and may be overkill for solo passengers or couples on short routes. However, for groups, cargo, or specialized missions needing flexible access and reliability, it is unmatched for its value and capability.
