Explore Our Global Fleet: A Detailed Fleet Comparison

The cornerstone of an exceptional flight is boarding the right aircraft. We provide access to an extensive global network of over 50,000 aircraft, ensuring the perfect match for your itinerary, passenger count, and budget. Below is a high-level fleet comparison to guide your selection:

Light Jets & Very Light Jets (VLJs)

Ideal for short-haul journeys and regional air taxi routes, Light Jets typically accommodate 4 to 7 passengers. They are the most cost-effective solution for trips lasting under three hours. If you are looking for a nimble aircraft for a quick private jet Europe hop—such as London to Geneva or Paris to Milan—Light Jets offer incredible runway versatility, allowing you to land at smaller, more convenient regional airports.

Midsize & Super-Midsize Jets

Offering enhanced cabin space, stand-up headroom, and longer range capabilities, Midsize Jets perfectly balance comfort and performance. Seating 7 to 9 passengers, these aircraft are ideal for transcontinental flights, such as New York to Los Angeles or London to Athens. They feature enclosed lavatories, ample baggage capacity, and superior inflight amenities essential for extended luxury travel.

Heavy Jets & Ultra-Long-Range Jets

For ultimate luxury, international travel, and large parties, Heavy Jets are the gold standard. Accommodating up to 16 passengers, these magnificent aircraft boast multi-zone cabins, full galleys, dedicated flight attendants, and lay-flat sleeping arrangements. Capable of flying non-stop across oceans, ultra-long-range jets are your definitive solution for seamless global connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a private jet charter cost per hour?

The hourly cost varies significantly by aircraft type. Light jets typically cost between $2,500 and $4,000 per hour, midsize jets range from $4,500 to $7,000, and heavy jets can cost $8,000 to $12,000 or more per hour. The final price also includes airport landing fees, taxes, and fuel surcharges.

What are empty leg flights and how do they work?

Empty leg flights occur when an aircraft needs to reposition to another airport to pick up passengers or return to its home base empty. Because the aircraft must fly that route regardless, operators offer these empty sectors at significantly discounted rates—sometimes up to 75% off the standard charter price.

Can I book a last-minute private jet charter?

Yes, absolutely. With our 24/7 global operations team based in London, St. Petersburg FL, and Beirut, we can often source, secure, and dispatch an aircraft within just two to four hours of your initial request, subject to aircraft availability and international flight routing.

Is a private jet membership better than on-demand charter?

For most travelers, an on-demand charter is far more cost-effective and flexible. Private jet memberships and jet cards often require substantial upfront deposits and lock you into specific aircraft categories. On-demand charter allows you to choose the exact aircraft you need for each specific trip, paying only for the hours you fly without any long-term financial commitment.

Do private jets have luggage weight limits?

While private jets offer generous baggage capacities compared to commercial airlines, each aircraft type has specific physical and weight limits for safety and performance reasons. Light jets have tighter spatial restrictions, while heavy jets offer vast luggage compartments. Our team will always match you with an aircraft that easily accommodates your passenger count and specific baggage requirements.
