Aircraft
Turboprop
Up to 8 seats · about 1,000 nm nonstop
Propeller-driven and efficient on short trips. Turboprops like the King Air and PC-12 use shorter runways than most jets, which opens up smaller towns and mountain strips.
Examples: King Air 250, King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12
Very Light Jet
Up to 4 seats · about 1,000 nm nonstop
The smallest jets are quick and efficient, and often the lowest-cost jet for one to three people on a short trip.
Examples: HondaJet, Embraer Phenom 100, Citation M2
Light Cabin
Up to 7 seats · about 1,500 nm nonstop
The workhorse of regional trips. Light jets like the Citation CJ3 and CJ4 cruise above most weather and fit into smaller airports.
Examples: Citation CJ3, Citation CJ4, Hawker 400XP
Super Light Jet
Up to 6 seats · about 1,800 nm nonstop
More speed, range, and cabin than a light jet. The Phenom 300 and Pilatus PC-24 are typical of the class.
Examples: Embraer Phenom 300, Pilatus PC-24, Learjet 75
Midsize Cabin
Up to 8 seats · about 2,000 nm nonstop
A cabin you can nearly stand in, room to work, and an enclosed lavatory. The Citation XLS and Latitude are a comfortable choice for flights of three hours or more.
Examples: Citation XLS, Citation Latitude, Hawker 800XP
Super-Mid Cabin
Up to 9 seats · about 3,000 nm nonstop
Coast to coast nonstop for most groups, in a cabin you can walk around. The Challenger 350 and Gulfstream G280 are typical of the class.
Examples: Challenger 350, Gulfstream G280, Challenger 300
Large Cabin
Up to 12 seats · about 4,000 nm nonstop
Room to move between seating areas over a long day. Challengers, Falcons, and Gulfstreams like the G450 seat up to 12.
Examples: Challenger 650, Falcon 2000LXS, Gulfstream G450
Ultra Long Range
Up to 14 seats · about 6,500 nm nonstop
The Gulfstream G650 and Global 7500 fly from the U.S. to Europe or Asia without a stop.
Examples: Gulfstream G650, Global 7500, Gulfstream G550
Seats and range are typical for each class and vary by aircraft, passengers, bags, and weather.
