Light jets are the workhorses of private aviation. They offer the perfect balance of speed, efficiency, and cost for short to medium-range flights. Ideal for flights under 2 hours, light jets seat 6-8 passengers comfortably with a compact but well-appointed cabin. Most feature a rear lavatory, refreshment center, and enough baggage space for weekend trips.

Midsize Jets

Midsize Jets

$7,000 – $10,000/hr

Midsize jets deliver a significant step up in cabin space, range, and comfort. With stand-up cabins and full enclosed lavatories, these aircraft handle coast-to-coast flights with ease. The extended range means you can fly nonstop between most major US city pairs, and the larger cabin accommodates larger groups or extended business meetings at altitude.
