Charter Aircraft Types

Our comprehensive fleet gives you the flexibility to choose the perfect aircraft for any mission.

TURBOPROP

Turboprop aircraft are the most economical choice for short to mid-range trips. While operating in and out of regional airports with short runways, propeller aircraft can cruise at speeds of 300 knots and non-stop ranges of about 1,500 miles, with an average flight duration of approximately 3 hours.

LIGHT JET

Light jets are the perfect choice for short to mid-range city hops. With average cruising speeds of 400 knots and non-stop ranges of approximately 1700 miles, light jets can travel farther and faster than turboprop aircraft while maintaining high efficiency levels.

MIDSIZE JET

 Midsize jets are the most popular category of private jets and provide a cost-effective option for flights of up to 4 hours for up to 8 passengers.

SUPER MIDSIZE JET

Super Midsize Jet aircraft offer space, comfort, and performance for medium to long range flights and groups of up to 8 passengers.

HEAVY JET

Heavy Jets range from large cabin jets seating up to 13 passengers to ultra-long range jets and—at the very top of the category—converted VIP airliners.

VIP AIRLINER

VIP Airliners can be chartered for private use, eliminating the hassle of transporting large numbers of clients and employees through public airport terminals.

Lease

Leases work well for pilots and non-pilots alike. Lessees may select from several air lease usage plans to fit their individual travel needs. With lease, you will share access to one or more aircraft and have operational control for each flight you make. If you are an interested and qualified pilot you can do the flying, or simply hire a pilot to take you where you want to go.
