Ultra long range is the segment that removes the technical stop. Europe to Asia, the Gulf or the American West Coast in a single sector, with a genuine sleeping cabin and a crew rest area.
One point our clients rarely hear stated plainly: a published range is a comparison format, not a flight plan. Manufacturer figures rest on the NBAA IFR reserve and on assumptions of four passengers, long range cruise speed and average winds.
A full cabin with hold luggage, a headwind, or a departure airfield at altitude all change the picture. Range in this class runs ten to fifteen hours on our published figures, and the real answer for your route is calculated route by route, not read off a brochure.
Ultra long range charter runs from EUR 9,000 to 12,000 per hour, the widest bracket we publish, because the segment spans a Falcon 6X and an ACJ319. Aircraft, crew, fuel, ground handling and navigation charges are included. De-icing, additional passengers, special catering, wi-fi and airport opening outside published hours are charged separately.
See our full pricing guide for the hourly brackets of every category.
On a sector under nine hours, a heavy jet does the same job for less. The ultra long range earns its rate when the technical stop it removes would have cost you a night, a connection, or a slot at a coordinated airport.
Two references compared in detail in our guide: Falcon 7X versus Falcon 8X.
From EUR 9,000 to 12,000 per hour. The bracket is wide because the category spans aircraft as different as a Falcon 6X and an Airbus ACJ319.
On most Europe to Asia city pairs, yes. But a published range assumes four passengers, long range cruise and average winds under the NBAA IFR reserve. A full cabin or a headwind can reintroduce a technical stop, so we verify each route before confirming.
Range and cabin. A heavy jet flies six to nine hours; an ultra long range jet flies ten to fifteen and adds a genuine sleeping cabin and a crew rest area. Under nine hours, the heavy jet is usually the better value.
