Types of business jet you can charter

If you are looking for on-demand business jets, there are lots of options that you can charter. The kind of business jet that you will choose will be dependent on factors such as capacity and range. For long distance flights, you will certainly need to use longer range aircraft to meet your travel needs.  Likewise, you can choose the capacity based on the number of passengers.  For example, some business jets are built to carry less than 10 people while others can carry as many as 70 passengers. The airliners can carry over 100 passengers. Here are the main types of business jets that you can charter to meet our corporate travel needs.

Executive turboprops

They come with lots of in-flight amenities such as snacks and mini-bars, pressurized cabins for great comfort and in some cases enclosed lavatory facilities. They are best suited for shorter flights if you are hopping from one city to another. Executive turboprops have cruising speeds ranging from 240 to 330 mph and for shorter flights of 2 to 4 hours.
