Private Jets for Charter Flights between Bakersfield & Sacramento
Turboprops
Turboprops take 15 to 20 minutes longer than light jets on this route. They can also fly out of Bakersfield Municipal, the closer field for anyone starting in south Bakersfield. The cabin is compact, so pack light.
Light Jets
A light jet is a good fit for two or three executives on a day trip to the Capitol. It uses Sacramento Executive’s runway without trouble. Baggage space is limited, and only some models have an enclosed lavatory.
Midsize Jets
Midsize jets land up to 10 minutes ahead of a light jet here. You get an enclosed lavatory as standard and a hold with room for document cases and overnight bags.
Super Midsize Jets
Super midsize jets are the quickest option on this route, landing up to 5 minutes before a midsize jet. They also have the most room, so they suit a larger delegation. Many models have a cabin tall enough to stand in, which helps when a team wants to go over talking points before a hearing.
