Light Jet Charter

Access is what you are buying

This class reaches runways that larger cabins cannot use, which often removes an hour of road transfer at each end. On a Paris to Luxembourg or a Geneva to Brussels sector, that hour saved on the ground is worth more than the difference in hourly rate.

The Pilatus PC-24 pushes the logic furthest, being certified for unpaved runways, a capability no other jet in our fleet offers. Range in this category runs two hours forty five to four and a half hours.

Where the limit is

A light jet carries a full cabin or full hold luggage, rarely both at maximum range. If your group travels with ski equipment, golf bags or trade show material, the honest answer is often a midsize jet, and we will say so.

For shorter sectors with four passengers, the very light jet costs less per hour. For unpaved or mountain strips, compare with the turboprop category.
