Range and speed are the manufacturer’s published figures under its stated conditions (passengers carried, reserves, cruise speed). Actual range varies with load, winds and routing. Passenger figures are manufacturer maximums; “By configuration” means seating depends on the cabin layout and no manufacturer maximum is shown for that type. Charter is quoted per trip.
What this category costs
Certified Jets’ estimate of the hourly charter range for this category, where one is shown. Ownership costs depend on the specific aircraft.
| Measure | USD |
|---|---|
| Estimate, per flight hour | $12,500–$17,500 |
Certified Jets market estimate based on published broker guides, 2025–2026. It is not a quote and not a Certified Jets price. Taxes, fees, positioning, crew overnights, daily minimums and de-icing may be added. We quote on-demand charter trip by trip; positioning, season and availability move the price.

When this category is right
Category is decided by the mission, not by preference.
Sectors that cannot stop
Where a fuel stop adds hours, exposes the movement, or creates a diplomatic or security complication.
Head-of-state and delegation travel
Protocol-sensitive movements where the aircraft is part of the arrangement rather than just transport.
Arriving able to work
Bedroom and shower configurations exist because a twelve-hour sector ending in a meeting is a different requirement from a holiday flight.
