Types of Aircraft For Private Flying
When you charter a private jet, you can experience many aircraft types.
Each jet provides a comfortable space, a unique layout, and luxurious amenities. Moreover, each comes with its own set of specs, such as how fast and far it can fly. It’s safe to say that there is a jet that is perfect for every air travel need.
To help you prepare for your next flight, this article explores the types of aircraft for private flying.
What Types of Aircraft Are Available?
With so many different aircraft available, knowing which one will give you everything you need can be challenging. Which one has room for your passengers? Which private jet can go the distance?
Below are a few types of aircraft you may want to consider when flying private.
Very Light Jets
Very light jets are some of the most miniature private aircraft in the sky. However, don’t be misled — they are not that small, and they don’t lack in performance. Instead, they are very efficient and cost-effective.
Very Light jets can travel between 1,000 and 1,500 miles and usually comfortably carry 4 to 5 passengers. They also come equipped with amenities to make your trip more enjoyable. Because they are often used for short trips, these jets may or may not have a lavatory and galley.
As part of a charter fleet, the following are commonly sought very light jets:
Eclipse 500
Cessna Citation Mustang
Embraer
Each offers all the perks of flying private in a fast, high-performing manner.
Light Jets
Light jets are slightly bigger, offering room for more passengers and a greater traveling distance. You will find more amenities onboard this aircraft, as you can be in flight longer, traveling from about 1,400 to 2,500 miles.
The interior of light jets will vary from one to the next, but you can expect comfort and luxury for an average of 8 passengers. There will be plenty of room to kick back and relax.
A few examples of light jets you won’t want to miss include:
Beechjet 400A
Hawker 400XP
Citation I
Citation II
Citation Encore
Falcon 10
Lear 35
Lear 40
Midsize Jets
Another type of aircraft is a midsize jet. These are among the most commonly used by travelers as they give you the perfect combination of range, size, and luxury. They can get you from one destination to the next without stopping for fuel — within about 2,000 to 3,000 miles.
Midsize jets are perfect for quick trips and trips a bit further away. They are often very spacious, with room for nine or so passengers to move about the cabin freely. You can always count on these jets' inflight entertainment, refreshments, and amenities.
So, what type of midsize jets should you look for? Don’t miss out on a flight on these:
Astra SP and SPX
Cessna Citation III
Cessna Citation VII
Falcon 20
Gulfstream G150
Hawker 800
Lear 45, 55. And 60
Did we mention midsize jets often have a significant amount of baggage capacity?
Super Mids
As their name suggests, super mids are like midsize jets — but better. They come with many features and amenities that make your travel experience luxurious.
There is room for about 9 to 12 passengers, though this always depends on the specific jet. The jet can travel an average of 3,000 to 4,000 miles, which means it can cross the continent without stopping to refuel. This is great for those going the distance.
These jets are just as popular as midsize, if not more. You will always find the most comfortable seating that can often be transformed into nighttime configurations perfect for sleeping. There will be inflight entertainment and connectivity, too.
Some super mids you should look for include:
Citation X
Falcon 2000
Falcon 50EX
Gulfstream 200
Challenger 300
Citation Sovereign
Hawker 1000

Heavy Jets
Heavy jets, sometimes called business jets, are one of the most glamorous jets you can charter. They are substantial, with average room to hold 15 or more passengers, and travel distances beyond 5,000 miles.
Heavy jets are perfect for international travel as you can sleep, dine, and enjoy inflight entertainment. You can even stay in touch with those on the ground, thanks to inflight connectivity.
Check out these heavy jets:
Challenger 601 and 604
Falcon 900
