Illustrative, built from the block time above and a half-hour on the ground at each end. Shift the whole thing earlier or later and it still closes — the working window is set by flight time, not by the clock.
Government relations is attendance. The value is in being present for the session, the hearing, or the meeting — and there is no partial credit. On Southern New Hampshire to Harrisburg it works out to 290 nm each way, or about 6 h 21 m on the road.
Leave at 07 15, on site by 09 27, and the aircraft waits while you work. 6 h 51 m on the ground is a full session, and you are home by 18 30. The hotel night, the second working day, and the evening away all come off the cost of the trip — which is usually where the real money was.
Nobody is driving 6 h 21 m each way for a meeting, so the real comparison is the airline routing — and between Southern New Hampshire and Harrisburg that typically means a connection, a total block time well over half a day, and an arrival window you do not control. A single segment removes the misconnect risk rather than managing it.
Both Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and Harrisburg International Airport are straightforward fields for this aircraft with margin in hand, which matters more than it sounds: routine pairs are the ones that dispatch reliably, and reliability is most of what a business traveller is actually buying.
We are a broker with one airframe on the sheet. That narrowness is the product: we know the operators, the fields and the real performance rather than guessing across forty types. Every flight is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificate holder.

No hub, no connection
The scheduled routing between Southern New Hampshire and Harrisburg generally requires a connection. One segment removes the misconnect risk rather than managing it.
Sessions run on published dates
Hearings and agency meetings in Harrisburg do not accommodate a missed connection. Attendance is the whole value of the trip.
Ten minutes from car to aircraft
Private terminals at both ends. No screening queue, no gate, no boarding group — you park, walk out, and go.
Parachute and autoland, standard
The Vision Jet carries CAPS, a whole-airframe parachute, and Safe Return, a one-button emergency autoland. No other jet in production offers either, at any price.
The Fields

Questions
Chartering MHT to MDT
How long is the flight from Southern New Hampshire to Harrisburg by private jet?
About 1 h 12 m of block time in a Cirrus Vision Jet, covering 290 nautical miles from Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (KMHT) to Harrisburg International Airport (KMDT). That includes taxi, climb, and descent; actual time varies with winds and routing.
Can I fly MHT to MDT and back in the same day?
That is what the pair is for. Wheels up 07 45, on site in Harrisburg by 09 27, 6 h 51 m on the ground, and home by 18 30 — 11 h 15 m door to door with no overnight.
How many colleagues can travel to Harrisburg?
Four seats, every flight, with 32 cubic feet for bags, samples, and materials. The airframe is certified for more, but four is the load that works with fuel and luggage on a leg like this, so it is the number we quote against.
Can the Vision Jet use Harrisburg International Airport?
Yes, with margin. Harrisburg International Airport has 10,001 feet of runway, well inside the Vision Jet's requirements in any normal condition.
What does a MHT to MDT charter cost?
Pricing depends on date, direction, passenger count, and whether the aircraft is already positioned near Southern New Hampshire. Halcyon quotes one all-in figure — aircraft, crew, fees, taxes and the ramp at both ends — inside the hour. That is the figure that reaches accounts payable.
How much notice do you need for a Harrisburg trip?
Most legs can be arranged inside 24 hours when an aircraft is available, which is the point of the product for urgent site visits and escalations. You get a straight yes or no immediately rather than a request left open.
