View Aircraft
The Aircraft Gallery provides a general description of the three aircraft types: Light Jet, Midsize Jet, and Heavy Jet. It also presents images and details on some of the more popular aircraft models within each category.
Important Note: Images and performance/specification details represent the various aircraft models but are not necessarily the actual aircraft used by our charter operators.
Light Jet
A light jet typically seats 5-7 passengers. The range is around 1,500 miles with a speed of approximately 440 - 480 mph. The hourly cost ranges from $1,700 to $2,000 per hour. One would use this plane when there are up to 6 passengers with minimal luggage, and the destination is less than 1,200 miles such Los Angeles to Aspen or Dallas to Santa Fe.

Midsize Jet
A midsize jet typically seats 6-8 passengers. The range is around 2,500 miles with a speed of approximately 450 - 500 mph. The hourly cost ranges from $2,500 to $3,000 per hour. One would use this plane when there are up to 6 passengers and the destination is in the 2,000-mile range such as Los Angeles to Chicago or New York to Santa Fe. The cabin is larger than a light jet cabin, therefore a little more comfortable for longer flights, and has an enclosed lavatory. One would choose a midsize jet over a light jet because of the larger cabin, the longer range (which eliminates the need to stop for fuel), and the additional speed.

Heavy Jet
A heavy jet typically seats 9-14 passengers. The range can be 3,000 miles to as much as 7,000 miles, although it is typically around 4,000 miles. The speed is approximately 500 - 550 mph. The hourly cost ranges from $4,000 to $5,500 per hour, but can run higher for the longer range models. One would use this plane when up to 10 people are traveling or the destination requires a range of 3,000 or more miles such as New York to Los Angeles or West Palm Beach to Sun Valley. The cabin is very spacious and comfortable with an enclosed lavatory.
