Light Private Jet

If you’re traveling with a small group and you want an upscale charter flight experience, a light jet is the best way to go. Designed for shorter, regional flights, the luxury aircraft in this class provide a safe, comfortable ride for up to eight passengers. However, for ultimate enjoyment, it’s advisable to limit occupancy to five or six passengers. Please note: Light jets can accommodate a maximum of 6 passengers with 40 pounds of baggage per person.

Versatility and Comfort for Short-range Flights

While in-cabin movement can be somewhat restricted in light jet charters, many come with high-end business and entertainment amenities found in larger jet categories. All of them have either an enclosed or curtained lavatory. With an average range of about 1,700 miles and cruise speeds of around 400 knots, light jets are perfect for short hops between cities, as well as mid-range travel itineraries.

Corporate travelers appreciate the convenience and versatility of light jets, as they allow executives to conduct business on their schedule. Many modern light jets offer in-flight wifi to keep travelers connected on the go.

Jet-setting with the Family

Light jet charters are also the perfect size for families and small groups of leisure travelers heading away on vacation. Many makes and models come with enough baggage capacity to accommodate things like skis and golf clubs. Given their compact size and superb performance capabilities, light jet charters can often access smaller runways that larger classes of aircraft cannot. This provides passengers with the added convenience of arriving closer to their final destination, so you can enjoy your vacation to its fullest. And by opting for smaller, less hectic executive and regional airports, you avoid the chaos and congestion of larger international airports.

Decades of High-quality Performance

Light jets have been around for more than 50 years, and for good reason. They continue to be one of the most popular private jet charter options for discerning travelers who want to enjoy every step of the journey.
