Business travel out of Permian Basin runs into the same problem everywhere in the country: the meeting is three hours away by road and a connection away by air, so a two-hour conversation costs a day and a half. The hotel, the evening away, and the second day of someone's time are the real expense — the airfare rarely is.
Departures use Midland International Air and Space Port, a general-aviation field with private terminals and no screening queue. Fifteen minutes from car to wheels-up. Everything inside 569 nautical miles is a same-day round trip, which is the entire reason the network is capped where it is rather than extended to the aircraft's book range.
Halcyon is a charter broker: we place the leg with a Part 135 operator we already know on this type, in an aircraft carrying a whole-airframe parachute and a certified emergency autoland. For a company putting four employees on one aircraft, that combination is the part of the specification sheet that matters.

Questions
Chartering in Permian Basin
Where do private jets depart from in Permian Basin?
Departures use Midland International Air and Space Port (MAF / KMAF) in Midland, TX. The operational centre of the Permian Basin, and a long way from anywhere by road. There is no security screening and no main terminal — you arrive about fifteen minutes before departure and walk to the aircraft.
Which business markets can I reach nonstop from Permian Basin?
13 markets sit inside the short-hop band we publish, from San Antonio at 241 nm out to Kansas City at 569 nm. All of them are same-day round trips; the network is capped at 600 nm precisely so that stays true.
Can I do a same-day round trip from Permian Basin?
That is what the aircraft is for. A San Antonio round trip is about 2 h 05 m of total flying, which leaves the working day essentially intact. Longer pairs make for an early start and a late finish but still avoid the hotel and the second day.
How many colleagues can travel from Permian Basin?
Four seats and 30 lb of baggage a head, on every aircraft in the fleet. That is the same on all three airframes, which is what lets us substitute one for another without changing your booking or your price.
What does private jet charter from Permian Basin cost?
It depends on distance, date, and whether an aircraft is already positioned near MAF. Because the Vision Jet has one engine rather than two, hourly cost sits well below a comparable twin — which is what makes a same-day round trip defensible as a business expense. We quote one all-in figure covering aircraft, crew, fees, taxes and the ramp at both ends.
