Turboprop: 

• Best for: Short regional trips and access to smaller airports
• Capacity: ~6 to 8 passengers
• Range: 2-3 hours

Example Aircraft: Pilatus PC-12, King Air 350

‍

Turboprops are an efficient and versatile option for short-haul travel, especially to airports with shorter runways that jets can't access. They offer lower operating costs, while still providing a comfortable and reliable flight experience. Turboprops are ideal for travelers who need flexibility and efficiency on short regional routes, while carrying more passengers than a Light Jet.

‍

Light Jet:

• Best for: Small groups, regional business travel
• Capacity: ~6 passengers
• Range: 3 hours or less

Example Jets: Hawker 400, Cessna Citation CJ3, Phenom 300

‍

Light jets are comfortable and efficient for short-to-medium distances. They are popular among executives and small groups with a trip time under 3 hours. These aircraft balance speed, affordability, and convenience, making them an excellent choice for quick business trips or leisure travel.

‍

Midsize Jet:

• Best for: Medium-range travel with added comfort
• Capacity: ~8 passengers
• Range: 3-4 hours

Example Jets: Hawker 800XP, Gulfstream G150, Cessna Citation XL

‍

Midsize jets offer a spacious cabin, enclosed lavatory, and improved performance over light jets. They are ideal for flights up to 3-4 hours, making them a great choice for regional and some transcontinental routes. These jets strike a balance between efficiency and comfort, catering to both business and leisure travelers who need more space without upgrading to a larger aircraft.

‍

Super-Midsize Jet:

• Best for: Coast-to-coast travel with premium comfort
• Capacity: 8 to 12 passengers
• Range: 5-6 hours
• Example Jets: Bombardier Challenger 350, Gulfstream G280, Cessna Citation X

‍

Super midsize jets offer greater range, cabin space, and performance than midsize jets, making them ideal for coast-to-coast travel or long-distance domestic flights. With stand-up cabins and higher speeds, they provide a more comfortable and efficient experience for business and leisure travelers who need to cover long distances without fuel stops.

‍

Heavy Jet:

• Best for: International travel and large groups in ultimate comfort
• Capacity: ~10 to 16 passengers
• Range: 8+ hours

Example Jets: Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 6000

‍

Heavy/Large cabin jets offer superior luxury, long-range capability, and spacious interiors designed for extended flights. With full-standing cabins, lie-flat seating, dedicated sleeping areas, and advanced entertainment systems, they are perfect for international travel and VIP experiences. These jets provide non-stop global reach, making them a favorite for corporate executives, celebrities, and high-net-worth travelers.
