The Aircraft

About the Merlin IIIA

The Merlin IIIA offers a composed turboprop charter experience for clients who value direct routing, efficient scheduling, and a quieter sense of discretion. It is well suited to point-to-point business travel, leisure escapes, and itineraries where time on the ground matters as much as time in the air.

With a maximum range of 2,670 NM, the Merlin IIIA can connect many high-demand city pairs nonstop, reducing the need for intermediate stops on regional and longer domestic missions. Its 274 kt cruise speed supports purposeful travel while preserving the practical advantages clients expect from a turboprop aircraft.

A service ceiling of 31,000 ft gives flight crews useful altitude flexibility, while the TPE331-3U-304G engine supports the aircraft’s mission profile with dependable turboprop power. For private charter, the result is a capable, understated aircraft for clients who prefer efficient access over excess.

Charter fit

Business itineraries requiring direct access between major private aviation airports.
