HEAVY JET AND LONG RANGE

PRIVATE JETS

Our heavy jet fleet or long range private jets as they are sometimes known offer transcontinental ranges for up to 22 passengers in various configurations including sleeper cabins designed to allow you to fly distances of up to 12 hours over night and still arrive refreshed and ready for your day all be it on the other side of the world.

Heavy jet and long-range private jets are designed for luxury air travel, with specific capabilities in terms of range, speed, and comfort. Here’s a breakdown of both:

Heavy Jets

Heavy jets are large, long-range business jets that can accommodate more passengers and have extended flight ranges. These jets are typically used for long-distance travel, international flights, and are often equipped with amenities like private cabins, conference rooms, and full-size bathrooms.

Key Features of Heavy Jets:

• Passenger Capacity: 8-16 passengers, depending on the model and configuration.
• Range: Generally, between 4,000 to 7,000 nautical miles (7,400 – 13,000 km), enabling non-stop intercontinental flights.
• Speed: Cruise speeds of around Mach 0.80 to Mach 0.85 (about 500-560 mph).
• Comfort & Amenities: Full-sized cabins, sleeping areas, full galleys, and bathrooms.
• Typical Aircraft:
  • Bombardier Global 7500 (Range: 7,700 nautical miles)
  • Gulfstream G650ER (Range: 7,500 nautical miles)
  • Dassault Falcon 8X (Range: 6,450 nautical miles)
  • Embraer Lineage 1000E (Range: 4,600 nautical miles)

Long-Range Private Jets

Long-range jets are a subcategory of heavy jets and are specifically designed to travel long distances without refueling. These jets are often used for international travel, with some capable of flying across oceans and continents.

Key Features of Long-Range Jets:

• Passenger Capacity: Can range from small to large, but typically 8-16 passengers for ultra-long-range models.
• Range: Generally starts from 4,500 nautical miles and can exceed 8,000 nautical miles on some models.
• Speed: Similar to heavy jets, cruising speeds of Mach 0.80 to Mach 0.85.
• Luxury Features: Extended range, maximum comfort for long flights, and often custom-tailored interiors.
• Typical Aircraft:
  • Gulfstream G700 (Range: 7,500 nautical miles)
  • Bombardier Global 8000 (Range: 7,900 nautical miles)
  • Dassault Falcon 10X (Range: 7,500 nautical miles)
  • Airbus ACJ319neo (Range: 6,000 nautical miles, but larger cabin)

Differences Between Heavy Jets and Long-Range Jets:

• Range: While both types of jets have long ranges, long-range jets are specifically designed for the longest non-stop flights. Some heavy jets might have a more moderate range but excel in other areas like passenger capacity and comfort.
• Comfort & Design: Long-range jets tend to have more space and luxury features for extended trips, including larger sleeping areas and more cabin customization options.
• Cost & Operations: Heavy jets and long-range jets can be very expensive, both in terms of initial purchase and operating costs. Long-range jets, due to their ultra-long capabilities and larger size, tend to come with a higher price tag.
