Turboprops

A turboprop is an aircraft powered by a gas-turbine engine that drives a propeller. Though they may resemble older propeller aircraft, modern turboprops are sophisticated, fast, reliable and economical. In private aviation, turboprops sit just below light jets and are chosen for their ability to operate from short runways, reach remote destinations and deliver significantly lower operating costs. For regional travel across Asia, turboprop and prop plane charter is one of the most cost-effective ways to fly privately.

Why Charter a Turboprop?

Turboprops can access airports that jets often cannot, including remote, short or less-developed runways. That capability can dramatically reduce total travel time by delivering passengers much closer to their final destination – to island resorts, regional towns and offshore sites that larger jets simply cannot reach. With lower charter pricing than light jets, a turboprop is ideal for short missions where value and runway flexibility matter most. Turboprops are also widely used for medical evacuation and air ambulance missions.

ASA arranges turboprop and prop plane charter, as well as wider private aircraft hire, across Asian routes from hubs such as Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. Browse our full charter fleet to compare categories.

Is a Turboprop Charter Right for You?

A turboprop is the smart choice for short regional missions, short or unpaved runways, and routes where keeping costs down matters most. If your destination is served by a longer runway and you prioritise speed or a quieter, higher-altitude ride, a light jet may suit you better; for very short city-to-city or island transfers, consider a helicopter.
