The Eclipse 500 jet charter broke new ground in 2006 when it created an entirely new class of private plane: the world’s first ‘very light jet.’

Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW610F turbofan engines, this aircraft has an maximum cruise speed of 430 mph and a 1,125nm range, allowing it to hold its own against class competitors.

It’s well suited for charter flights from Boca Raton, Florida to Dallas, Texas. In fact, you could use it to visit several cities in one-day, and still be home in time for dinner.
