Which jet works for you?
A field guide to the six categories of private aviation — the most-praised aircraft in each — and a short questionnaire that matches your mission to the jet that actually fits.
Six ways to fly private
Each category exists for a reason — range, cabin, runway, or cost. Here's the aircraft that defines each one.
01 · Light JetEmbraer Phenom 300E
Most-praised in Light Jet
2,010 NM
Up to 8
Mach 0.80
The most-praised light jet of the last decade. The Phenom 300E pairs transcontinental range with a stand-up cabin and the lowest operating cost in its class. It's the default choice for owners who want to fly a family of four nearly 2,000 miles without a fuel stop — and the most-requested light jet in charter.
02 · Midsize JetCessna Citation Latitude
Most-praised in Midsize Jet
2,700 NM
Up to 9
Mach 0.80
The Latitude is the best-selling midsize jet in the world for a reason: a flat-floor cabin wider than anything in its class, true coast-to-coast range, and dispatch reliability that rivals airliners. For six to eight passengers who need transcontinental capability without heavy-jet costs, it's the benchmark.
03 · Super MidsizeBombardier Challenger 350
Most-praised in Super Midsize
3,100 NM
Up to 9
Mach 0.83
The Challenger 350 is the super-midsize gold standard — a flat-floor transcontinental cabin, a full galley, and class-leading range that comfortably links New York to London or Los Angeles to Honolulu. The most-requested super-midsize in charter and the most-recommended upgrade from a midsize.
04 · Heavy JetGulfstream G450
Most-praised in Heavy Jet
4,350 NM
Up to 16
Mach 0.88
The heavy-jet class is where range and cabin space stop being a compromise. The G450 offers a three-zone cabin, a full stand-up galley, a dedicated lavatory, and transatlantic range at near-airliner speeds. For buyers who fly internationally with a team, this is the entry point to long-range comfort.
05 · Ultra Long RangeGulfstream G650 / Global 7500
Most-praised in Ultra Long Range
7,000+ NM
Up to 19
Mach 0.925
The ultra-long-range class connects any two cities on earth nonstop. The G650 and Global 7500 are the category's most-praised aircraft — four-zone cabins, dedicated crew rest, and near-supersonic cruise. For principals who fly intercontinental legs with family and staff, there is no substitute.
06 · TurbopropPilatus PC-12
Most-praised in Turboprop
1,800 NM
Up to 9
320 ktas
The PC-12 is the most revered turboprop ever built — a single-engine workhorse with a cargo door, short-field capability, and operating costs a fraction of a jet. For missions that include unimproved strips, island hops, or frequent short sectors with heavy loads, it outperforms every jet in its price bracket.
