Only specific midsize jets or larger can carry skis, and even then, not all midsize jets have the capacity to fit them onboard. However, there is an exception in the very light jet category.
The Citation Mustang, a four-seater aircraft, features a ski chute running down the center of the plane. This creates a “hump” between the two rear seats and on the floor, as the ski chute is integrated into the aircraft’s design.
It’s important to note that the Citation Mustang is the only aircraft outside of midsize jets that can carry skis. No other VLJ, light jet, or super light jet can accommodate skis. All super midsize jets and larger aircraft can handle skis.
Is there a limit to how many sets of skis can fit onboard?
Yes, but the limit depends on the aircraft and whether the skis come with boots and additional gear. The specific needs of the client will also affect this.
Often, people choose to rent skis from the resort or ship their skis ahead of their arrival. Rather than spending extra on a larger aircraft that can carry skis, it is usually more cost-effective to mail the skis in advance.
