Fleet
Seven categories. One right answer.
Range, passenger count, and airport access decide the aircraft — not preference. Start with the journey and the category follows.
Choose by mission
Each category exists because a particular kind of journey demands it.
Turboprop
Short regional sectors, and the only category that reliably operates into short, unpaved, and high-elevation strips.
$2,500 – $3,800/hrLight jet
Efficient point-to-point travel for small parties, with jet speed and access to thousands of airports commercial aviation does not serve.
$3,500 – $5,000/hrMidsize
Stand-up cabin, real baggage capacity, and the range to cross a continent without stopping.
$5,000 – $6,500/hrSuper midsize
A wider cabin and longer legs than midsize, without stepping up to heavy-jet operating costs.
$6,500 – $9,000/hrHeavy
Separate cabin zones, a full galley, and crew rest — the aircraft you want when the flight is long enough that the cabin matters more than the schedule.
$9,000 – $13,000/hrUltra long range
Chosen when a technical stop is unacceptable — for schedule, for security, or for protocol.
$13,000 – $20,000/hrVVIP airliner
Converted airliners for large delegations, touring parties, and cabins configured to a specific requirement.
