Private aircraft guide
Compare aircraft by passenger capacity, range and guide rate. Your advisor confirms the right option for your itinerary.
Compare six categories, from regional piston twins to intercontinental jets. Available aircraft and cabin layouts vary by operator.
Specifications and hourly prices are indicative figures from the aircraft guide, not a live quote. Cabin configuration, payload, weather, routing, aircraft availability and additional charges affect your final itinerary and price.
Piston twins are the most cost-conscious private-aircraft solution for short sectors, island hops, and regional routes where access and budget matter more than jet speed.
A twin-piston aircraft for short regional flights and smaller-airport access. Discuss passenger numbers, baggage and the route with your advisor.
A compact pressurised cabin makes the 340 a strong step up from unpressurised pistons, giving small groups smoother higher-altitude cruise on regional leisure and business trips.
A larger-cabin piston twin originally developed from Beechcraft utility aircraft, useful for island networks, remote-strip operations, and cost-sensitive small groups carrying more bags.
Turboprops combine turbine reliability, efficient operating cost, and excellent runway flexibility. They are often the smartest choice for mountains, islands, ranches, and secondary airports.
The PC-12 NGX pairs a large executive cabin and cargo door with famous short-field capability. It is a favorite for remote luxury properties, medical missions, and efficient regional charter.
The King Air 350 is the benchmark twin turboprop: pressurised cabin, dependable dispatch reliability, strong baggage capacity, and practical performance from shorter runways.
A rugged high-wing workhorse for adventure travel, beach strips, short transfers, and commuter-style missions where durability and load-carrying ability are more important than speed.
Light jets bring true jet speed to efficient regional and short-haul missions, usually serving groups of up to seven passengers over two to four hours.
A proven light-jet platform with modern avionics, single-pilot capability where permitted, and excellent runway performance for fast city-pair travel.
One of the strongest performers in the light-jet class, the Phenom 300E offers high cruise speed, a refined cabin, generous baggage space, and strong runway performance.
A remanufactured Beechjet platform with new engines, updated avionics, and improved efficiency, giving light-jet operators near-midsize speed and cabin utility.
Midsize jets add enclosed lavatories, more baggage, better cabin height, and route flexibility for coast-to-coast domestic or shorter international flights.
A durable charter staple with a comfortable cabin, strong payload flexibility, and dependable coast-to-coast utility for executive groups.
A fast midsize jet with Learjet performance heritage, enclosed lavatory, strong climb, and efficient point-to-point speed for business travelers.
A modern fly-by-wire midsize aircraft with excellent range, low cabin altitude, active turbulence reduction, and premium connectivity for longer continental missions.
Super midsize jets offer wider cabins, full galleys, better baggage, and transcontinental or transatlantic capability without stepping into heavy-jet pricing.
A benchmark super-midsize cabin with strong runway performance, a wide cabin, flat-floor comfort, and reliable coast-to-coast range.
Built for speed, the Citation X family is known for very high cruise performance, making it ideal when schedule compression matters.
The Praetor 600 stretches super-midsize capability with 4,000+ nm range, fly-by-wire controls, active turbulence reduction, and a refined six-foot cabin.
Heavy and ultra-long-range jets deliver multi-zone cabins, crew-rest capability, global range, premium connectivity, and the comfort expected for intercontinental private travel.
A long-range Gulfstream standard bearer with intercontinental reach, high-altitude cruise, and a proven large-cabin layout for executive and family travel.
Gulfstream's flagship large-cabin aircraft, designed around multiple living areas, high-speed cruise, new-generation winglets, and ultra-long-range city pairs.
A four-zone ultra-long-range aircraft with exceptional cabin volume, smooth-ride wing technology, and nonstop reach for the most demanding global itineraries.
Global Private Jet Charter arranges flights through independent operators. Ask your advisor about the operator and supporting information for your proposed flight.
Confirm the operator responsible for the flight and the operating authority appropriate to your itinerary.
Ask which independent operator ratings apply to the proposed aircraft and whether they are current.
Discuss cabin configuration, crew arrangements and the information available for your proposed flight.
Airport access, weather, payload and operating conditions affect which aircraft can serve your itinerary.
Review the same 18 models side by side. A quoted itinerary confirms aircraft suitability and the complete trip price.
