The aircraft

What the heavy jet class is for

A heavy jet seats a full group in a wide cabin that often divides into zones for working, dining, and rest, and it reaches around four to five thousand miles. That covers transatlantic routes and long domestic trips nonstop.

This class is the choice when cabin space and ocean crossing range both matter. For the very longest intercontinental trips an ultra long range jet extends the reach further. Cabin and range vary by aircraft, so confirm the type at quote.

Per flight hour, varies with availability and routing

Charter is quoted by the trip rather than the hour. A firm quote reflects the actual routing, any repositioning of the aircraft, landing and handling fees, crew expenses, applicable taxes, and the specific aircraft offered on your dates. Treat the hourly band above as a planning guide only and confirm the all in price before you book.

Before you book

How to vet the flight

Ask whether you are dealing with the operator that holds the air operator certificate for the aircraft or with a broker arranging the flight on your behalf. Both can serve you well, but you should know which one you are talking to and who carries the operational responsibility.

Confirm the operator safety rating and insurance, the tail number, age and cabin configuration of the actual aircraft on offer, and exactly what the quote includes. A reputable partner will answer all of this in writing before you commit. Send us your dates and we will return a clear comparison.
