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.
Savannah runs 1 hour ahead of Memphis; the clock times below are local at each end.
Certification and quality work has to be witnessed. There is no remote version of a first-article inspection or a source-inspection visit. For the Memphis to Savannah version, the gap is 472 nm — far enough to cost a day, close enough that losing one feels absurd.
At 472 nm this is a longer day: 1 h 48 m each way, 3 h 36 m of flying. It still closes. On site by 11 03, 5 h 39 m on the ground, home by 18 30. Whether that beats an overnight depends on how long the meeting runs, and we will say so plainly rather than selling the version that bills more hours.
Nobody is driving 10 h 21 m each way for a meeting, so the real comparison is the airline routing — and between Memphis and Savannah 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.
Memphis International Airport and Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport are both business-aviation fields with private terminals, so the ten-minutes-before-departure arrival holds at each end.
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.

Why this route works
5 h 39 m on the ground, home by 18 30
Wheels up 07 45, on site 11 03, back on the ramp at MEM by 18 00. 3 h 36 m of flying in total, and nobody's second working day spent in transit.
No hub, no connection
The scheduled routing between Memphis and Savannah generally requires a connection. One segment removes the misconnect risk rather than managing it.
Source inspection and AOG
First-article and source-inspection work has to be witnessed, and AOG response is measured in hours. Both reward a departure you can call on the day.
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
Both ends of this leg
Private terminals at each end. No screening queue, no gate, and a walk from the car to the aircraft measured in yards.

Questions
Chartering MEM to SAV
How long is the flight from Memphis to Savannah by private jet?
About 1 h 48 m of block time in a Cirrus Vision Jet, covering 472 nautical miles from Memphis International Airport (KMEM) to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (KSAV). That includes taxi, climb, and descent; actual time varies with winds and routing.
Can I fly MEM to SAV and back in the same day?
That is what the pair is for. Wheels up 07 45, on site in Savannah by 11 03, 5 h 39 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 Savannah?
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 Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport?
Yes, with margin. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport has 9,351 feet of runway, well inside the Vision Jet's requirements in any normal condition.
What does a MEM to SAV charter cost?
Pricing depends on date, direction, passenger count, and whether the aircraft is already positioned near Memphis. 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 Savannah 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.
