Heavy jets were built for transcontinental or long-range travel. These aircraft combine long-range travel with superior comfort, convenience and speed. With eight hours, or up to 6,000 miles, of non-stop travel, a heavy jet keeps the world easily accessible for its passengers.
If you’re wondering which private heavy jet offers the longest range, there are a few factors to consider. Things like the amount of cargo, the number of passengers aboard, and the weather conditions will all affect how far a jet can travel without refuelling.
To help our clients make informed buying decisions, we’ve compiled the table below to cover off all of these factors and more.

Heavy jet charters are often referred to as ‘bizliners,’ and that’s because they can accommodate up to 16 passengers and offer all the amenities of a modern-day boardroom. They’re also really popular among busy executives that spend a lot of time flying between international offices.
The cabin space in a heavy jet airliner is exceptional. These large cabins give passengers the ability to stand-up inflight and move around in an unobstructed space. Oftentimes, the cabins are configured in ways that create dedicated meeting areas, workspaces, lounge areas, or separate bedrooms. Each bizliner also features washrooms complete with showers.
These aircraft are designed to provide the most comfortable and productive space while traveling from one point to another. When passengers touch down, they’ll arrive at their final destination feeling relaxed, refreshed, and ready for the day.
At Stratos Jet Charters, we strive to provide our clients with the highest standard of service and value each and every time they arrange a private jet charter with one of our agents.
To deliver exceptional service every time, we do things a little differently than our competitors.
It all starts with our operational framework. From the minute a client calls until the completion of their intended mission, we continue to work. Unlike the competition that’s more focused on making multiple sales, we provide our clients with a full-service experience that extends beyond the flight.
To achieve this, we’ve created two departments – one for coordinating the flight and one for handling the details. We’re confident that our dedicated Trip Support team will ensure your expectations are consistently exceeded.
We’ve also set the bar for safety extremely high. Every time you arrange a private jet rental, there is a slight element of risk involved. Stratos mitigates that risk by championing a culture of air charter safety throughout our entire organization. Not only does this ensure the safest charter in the skies, it also allows us to expand our margin of safety with every scheduled mission.
