778 km is the classic short island-hop. A Phenom 300E or Citation CJ4 flies it in about 1h 30m for six passengers, which is the sweet spot on both cost and airport suitability. Midsize aircraft add fuselage width for larger groups. The route is most often booked as a positioning leg after an international arrival at CMB, when a client wants to skip the two-hour commercial transfer to a resort.
