The Airbus A340-600 is the largest and longest-ranged VIP aircraft on this site, carrying fifty to a hundred passengers 7,800 nautical miles out of Los Angeles. It is the stretched version of the aircraft above.
Airbus stretched the A340-300 to create the -600, at the time the longest airliner in the world. VIP conversions typically seat fifty to a hundred against an airline density of well over three hundred. Cruise is around Mach 0.82 and range is 7,800 nautical miles. Full specifications for the Airbus A340-600 are published by Airbus Corporate Jets.

Why the Airbus A340-600 Fits Los Angeles
A hundred passengers nonstop from Los Angeles to Asia, the Middle East or Europe is the outer edge of what private charter does. Full organizational movements, large delegations and major touring productions are the work.
The seat figures here reflect VIP and executive configurations rather than airline density, and every one of these aircraft is completed individually. We confirm the actual layout and capacity for the specific airframe before quoting.
Wide-body operations need long runways and the associated ground handling, so Los Angeles International and Ontario are the practical departure fields. Ontario runs 24 hours with no curfew, which matters for a late heavy departure.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
