Private Charter Flights for Business
A business charter is planned around your meetings: you can visit several cities in one day and return the same evening. You can also land at an airport closer to your office than the main commercial hub, such as Teterboro Airport (TEB) for New York or Van Nuys Airport (VNY) for Los Angeles. Match the aircraft to the longest leg of your trip: light jets suit flights of up to about three hours, while coast-to-coast trips call for a midsize or super midsize jet that can fly nonstop. Wi-Fi and catering vary by aircraft, so list what you need in your request.
Top Aircraft for Business Charter Flights
- Cessna Citation CJ4: The Citation CJ4 is a light jet that seats up to 10 passengers and has a maximum range of 2,165 nm, according to Textron Aviation. It is a cost-effective choice for regional meetings, such as a day trip from New York to Chicago.
- Cessna Citation Latitude: The Citation Latitude has a flat-floor cabin with 6 ft of headroom, so you can stand up, move around, and work in comfort. Textron Aviation quotes a range of 2,700 nm with four passengers, enough to fly nonstop between Los Angeles and New York, with seating for up to nine.
- Gulfstream G280: The G280 is a super midsize jet with a range of 3,600 nm at Mach 0.80 with four passengers, according to Gulfstream. It covers coast-to-coast flights with ease and can fly from the US East Coast to Western Europe nonstop, which makes it a strong choice for longer business trips.
Private Charter Flights for Leisure
Holiday weeks, the ski season, and winter trips to the Caribbean are the busiest times for private flights, so request your quote early to have a wider choice of aircraft. Your destination also shapes the choice. Mountain airports such as Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE) restrict which aircraft can land, and the runway on St. Barts (SBH) is so short that only small turboprops can use it. Luggage matters too: skis, golf bags, and large suitcases all need room on board. Tell us where you’re going and what you’re bringing, and we’ll suggest aircraft that suit both.
Top Aircraft for Leisure Flights
- Pilatus PC-12: The PC-12 is a single-engine turboprop built for short runways: Pilatus quotes a takeoff distance of 2,485 ft for the latest PC-12 NGX. Its large rear cargo door, about 4 ft 5 in by 4 ft 4 in, makes it easy to load skis, bikes, and bulky luggage. Seating up to nine passengers, it’s a practical choice for island hops in the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
- Embraer Phenom 300: The Phenom 300 series has been the world’s best-selling light jet for 14 years in a row, according to Embraer. The latest Phenom 300E flies up to 2,010 nm with five people, enough for a family trip from New York to Miami or from Dallas to Aspen nonstop.
- Bombardier Challenger 650: For larger families or groups of friends, the Challenger 650 seats up to 12 passengers in what Bombardier describes as the widest cabin in its class. The baggage compartment is accessible in flight, and the aircraft can fly up to 4,000 nm with six passengers, enough for a transatlantic holiday.
Group Charter Flights
For a group charter flight, the number of passengers decides the aircraft: most business jets seat up to about 8 to 19 people, and larger groups need a regional jet or an airliner. Large aircraft are less available than business jets, so book group private flights well in advance. Send us the passenger count, the total baggage, and any fixed times, such as a game or conference start.
Top Aircraft for Group Charter Flights
- Embraer ERJ 145: The ERJ 145 is a 50-seat regional jet, a practical size for sports teams, corporate retreats, and conference groups. Embraer quotes a range of up to 1,550 nm with a full passenger load, which covers most domestic group trips.
- Gulfstream G550: The G550 seats up to 19 passengers, so a sports team or a corporate delegation can travel together on a single jet. With up to eight beds and a range of 6,750 nm with eight passengers, it also suits overnight large group charter flights to Europe or Asia.
- Embraer Legacy 650: The Legacy 650 carries up to 14 passengers in three separate cabin zones, so a group can set aside space for meetings, meals, and rest. According to Embraer, it has the largest in-flight accessible baggage compartment of any executive jet, which helps teams traveling with sports gear or event materials. It flies up to 3,800 nm with eight passengers.
International Charter Flights
International charter flights need more planning than domestic ones. Depending on the route, this can include overflight and landing permits, customs clearance at the first point of entry, and valid passports or visas for every passenger. Flights arriving in the United States from abroad must first land at an airport with US Customs and Border Protection services. For long trips, compare a nonstop ultra long range jet with a smaller aircraft that makes a fuel stop: the nonstop option saves hours, while the fuel stop can lower the price.
Top Aircraft for International Flights
- Gulfstream G650: According to Gulfstream, the G650 can fly 7,000 nm at Mach 0.85, connecting cities such as London and Los Angeles or Beijing and New York nonstop. It is also one of the fastest business jets, with a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925.
- Dassault Falcon 8X: The Falcon 8X flies up to 6,450 nm with eight passengers and seats 12 to 16, according to Dassault. Its three engines and steep-approach capability let it serve challenging airports such as London City.
- Bombardier Global 6000: The Global 6000 seats up to 17 passengers and has a range of 6,000 nm with eight passengers at Mach 0.85. Bombardier describes it as the largest business jet that can fly nonstop from Aspen to London City Airport, thanks to its steep-approach certification.
Multi-Leg and Complex Itineraries
Some trips include several cities, countries, or changes along the way: a roadshow with meetings in four cities, a tour that returns home by a different route, or a group that splits between destinations. We plan multi-leg itineraries as one trip, checking aircraft availability, crew duty limits, and airport operating hours for each leg.
If your plans change after booking, contact your private charter specialist. Changes to times or destinations depend on aircraft and crew availability and may affect the final price.

FAQs
Are pets allowed on all private charter flights?
Not always. Many operators allow pets to travel in the cabin with you, but the rules depend on the operator and the aircraft. For international trips, your pet also needs the health documents required by the destination country. Mention your pet’s size and breed when you request a private jet charter quote.
Can I fly to any airport?
Private charter flights can use many more airports than scheduled airlines, but each airport must suit the aircraft. Runway length, weight limits, operating hours, curfews, and customs availability all affect which aircraft can land there. Tell us where you want to land, and we’ll check these limits and suggest aircraft that can use that airport.
How much luggage can I bring on a private charter flight?
There is no fixed allowance as on an airline. How much you can bring depends on the aircraft’s baggage space and weight limits: light jets have the least room, while larger jets carry more, and some let you reach your bags during the flight. Tell us how many bags you plan to bring and mention bulky items such as skis, golf clubs, or strollers, and we’ll suggest an aircraft that fits them. Soft-sided bags are easier to fit into smaller baggage compartments.
