Aruba families flying from New York, Boston or Washington often settle on a midsize jet for the range and the extra cabin space.

Why the Hawker 900XP Fits Aruba
With 2,930 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips between Aruba and destinations such as Miami, Philadelphia and Chicago, allowing for reserves and routing. Every trip to Aruba is international, so each passenger needs a valid passport and completes Aruba’s online ED card before traveling.
Aruba trips in this class usually start in South Florida, the Southeast or the New York area, and they land at Queen Beatrix International in Oranjestad, which is closed to private flights between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and your advisor confirms it with the operator before the trip is booked.
How Aruba Clients Use the Hawker 900XP
Midsize jets bring families and groups of friends to Aruba from the Northeast, often without a fuel stop, in a cabin that stays comfortable for the whole flight. The bigger baggage hold matters on a week-long stay.
