Every Small Plane Route from Miami

A Small plane is a single engine small plane widely used across the Bahamas and the Keys because it combines a useful cabin with short field performance. It carries a group and their luggage into strips that jets cannot use, tolerates rough and unpaved surfaces and is simple to support on remote islands.

High wings and large windows make it pleasant for sightseeing as well as transport. Our planners recommend it whenever the destination strip, the luggage or the group size rules out a jet.

Yes. The Bahamas is an international crossing, so every passenger needs a valid passport and any visa their nationality requires and children need their own documents. We file the inbound and outbound paperwork, confirm the port of entry and send a document checklist once the booking is confirmed. Guidance by nationality is set out on our travel documents page and the charter desk reviews your party before the day so nothing is discovered at the aircraft.

More than most people expect, which is usually why the aircraft is chosen, but the allowance is still planned rather than assumed. It depends on the passenger count, the fuel required for the leg, the field at each end and whether a cargo pod is fitted. Soft bags load best. Dive gear, fishing rods, golf clubs and pushchairs can normally be carried when declared at booking. We agree your allowance and will tell you early if the load plan needs adjusting.

Often yes and that is the point of the aircraft, but every field is assessed individually. Runway length, surface, obstacles, weight on the day and the operator's own limits all decide what is possible and some private strips need permission from the owner as well.

Our flight planners confirm the field before the day and brief an alternative. Where a strip cannot be used safely the flight goes to the nearest suitable field and we arrange the last part of the journey by car or boat.

Yes and mixed loads are common on island runs. The cabin can be configured for seats, for freight or for a combination and a cargo pod adds volume underneath. We handle manifests, customs paperwork and duty documentation and can arrange delivery to a dock, a site or a house at the far end. Dangerous goods, fuel and certain building materials have restrictions, so tell us what is moving early and we will confirm what can travel.

Yes, pets travel in the cabin with you. The one thing we ask is that you tell us at the enquiry, with the type of animal and its weight, so the seating and the load plan are right from the start.
