Our number one priority at Jet Charter Costa Rica is the safety of you and your loved ones. It is our mission to provide services that meet your needs during both times of health, and in times of difficulty. Many clients that are in a wheelchair full-time wishing to vacation or needing to charter a private medical flight may have special transportation requirements in regards to their wheelchair accessibility. Most private aircraft are not equipped with the capabilities to accommodate these needs, and providers do not have the resources to assist with the demand.
See the lift in action
Jet Charter Costa Rica can help with your travel needs. We have direct access to a beautiful Challenger 604 long-range jet which has been fitted with a state-of-the-art titanium hydraulic lift system for passengers with these needs.
Passengers must be transferred from their current wheelchair into an aisle wheelchair that is used to board. The high-tech wheelchair lift system can support passengers weighing up to 400 pounds, and passengers may be able to store their wheelchair on board depending on the make, model and dimensions.
The Challenger 604 wheelchair accessible private jet provides a new level of ease and comfort to those who need it most. We can cater to passengers that are moving to another state, traveling between facilities or hospitals, attending a family get-together, or going on an exotic vacation, chartering this aircraft will create a more convenient travel experience.
Offering unparalleled comfort and reliability for our private jet charter clientele, this Challenger 604 has the largest cabin of any aircraft in its class, and comfortable seating for up to 12 passengers. The wide cabin of this jet also provides passengers with options regarding seating arrangements with four separate, adjacently-positioned plush captain chairs and fold out coffee tables in between.
For entertainment, this hydraulic-lift equipped Bombardier Challenger also features an Airshow 400 system with Dual DVD players and viewing screens, and you can stay connected during your flight with a built-in WiFi connection. A flight range of over 4,000 statute miles will allow this long-range jet to fly clients privately from coast-to-coast or between continents quickly and comfortably.

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.
- 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.
Costa Rica-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
A private flight from abroad lands first at one of Costa Rica’s international airports, most often Juan Santamaría International near San José or Guanacaste Airport in Liberia, which is the closer of the two to the Guanacaste beaches and is not open overnight. The flight on to a smaller beach or rainforest airstrip, such as Tamarindo, Nosara or Quepos, is a separate leg in a smaller aircraft, usually flown by a Costa Rican operator, and your advisor will tell you how that leg works for your trip. The busy season runs from Thanksgiving to April, when ramp space for private aircraft is limited, and the holidays, spring break and Semana Santa book up first. The dry season on the Pacific side runs from late November to April, and from May to November afternoon rain is common.
