If you are need of a private jet for international or long-distance travel, a heavy jet charter is common choice for fliers who demand the best of luxury, comfort, seamlesness and speed. Heavy jets are designed for journeys of around 6,000 miles, or up to about 8 hours of nonstop flight time. Heavy jet aircraft offer range capabilities that are comparable to many commercial passenger airliners. Sometimes referred to as ‘bizliners,’ these spacious jets can accommodate anywhere from 1-29 passengers in a variety of cabin configurations.
Compared to light private jet charter, many heavy jets feature wider cabins and ample headroom. This allows passengers the freedom the move about while flying, which greatly enhances the overall comfort on longer journeys.
Many heavy jets are purposely designed for business travel. They’re a popular group air travel option for busy executives who frequently fly between international offices. Many come equipped with all of the business amenities you’d expect to find in your typical office, including: wireless internet, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, dedicated meeting areas and workspaces and charging ports for personal electronic devices. That way, passengers can conduct research, hold meetings or connect with the office while in the air.
For leisure travellers, or when the workday is done, many heavy jets also offer extraordinary cabin comfort in the form of lounge areas, private washrooms with showers and separate bedrooms. This ensures passengers will arrive feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready for whatever the day holds in store. Most of these aircraft are also outfitted with full galleys, meaning you can enjoy an endless assortment of catering options. Contact Executive Fliteways at 1.800.533.3363 to rent a heavy jet.
A light jet is a category of small jets seating anywhere from from four to eight people (depending on configuration) and often with a maximum takeoff weight of under 10,000 pounds. Light jets are considered the lightest business jets and are approved for single-pilot operation. Light jets are ideal for shorter trips for business meetings or family getaways.
Midsize jets – also referred to as mid-size jets, are great for long distance travel such as transcontinental flights or trips requiring larger passenger capacity (depending on configuration). Unlike a light jet rental, midsize private jets are incredibly versatile private aircraft, combining the comfort and space of larger personal planes, with the speed and agility of small private jets. Private jet speeds help the aircraft travel a range of over 5,000 nautical miles and typically seats 7 to 10 passengers.
Super midsized jets are designed to comfortably accommodate from 8 to 16 passengers (depending on configuration) - with substantial baggage space. Super mids can be chartered for international, non-stop transcontinental or mid-range travel with an average flight range of up to nine hours of flight time - or 4,500 miles - in optimum conditions.
Large cabin jets have a cabin height of over six feet. Cabin width varies from nearly seven to over eight feet, while cabin length can range from 28 feet to nearly 50 feet. With endurance of 8 to 10 hours, many large cabin jets - like the Falcon 900 - are also designed for longer-range flights such as New York to Paris. Large cabin jet cabin amenities can include WiFi, private lavatory, PlayStation video games, satellite phone, cabin attendant and a full galley.
What sets turbo props apart is their versatility. Unlike other private jets, planes with a turbo prop engine don’t need a full runway for landing and take off; a short grass airstrip is more than enough. Which makes them perfect for taking the route less travelled. Made for short to medium journeys, turbo prop planes can land on grass airstrips and short runways. Turboprops are an economical way to fly, with room for eight to ten passengers.
While there are many reasons to take a chartered helicopter flight - the fact that for most it is a once in a lifetime experience is probably the most prominent. Helicopter flight in itself is an adventure that most find to be thrilling. Making use of helicopter flights is a great way to mark a special occasion and create memories that will make a special day all the more special.
