- 1
Pick corporate or yacht sector
Istanbul uses airport-to-airport corporate routing; Bodrum uses yacht helideck and marina helipads.

Match aircraft to group and range
Long-sector legs (Istanbul–Bodrum) typically justify a medium twin for speed and payload.

Add cross-border handling if relevant
Legs into Greece or Cyprus trigger customs on both sides; the operator captures this in the quote.
