Turbo Props
Turboprop aircraft combine the low-cost advantages
of the piston aircraft while sharing some of the performance and cabin comfort
advantages of light jets. With average cruising speeds over 300 mph and an
average nonstop range above 1,000 miles, a turboprop can travel further,
faster and offer more comfort then piston aircraft while keeping charter
costs below those of jet aircraft. Popular for short to mid-range flights,
turboprops can access runways that are often too short for jet aircraft.
Amenities often include: pressurized passenger cabins for added comfort,
safety and performance and a semi-private lavatory. Baggage capacity is limited.
Average Passenger Capacity: 4-8
Light Jets
Light jets are the entry-level jet class in the
charter industry. Light jets are the most economical choice for short to
mid-range trips. With average cruising speeds of 440 mph and an average nonstop
range of about 1,500 miles, a light jet can travel further and faster then
non-jet aircraft while operating in and out of airports not accessible by
the major airlines. Amenities often include; pressurized passenger cabins
for added comfort, safety and performance and a semi-private lavatory. Light
jets have limited baggage capacity and often cannot accommodate skis or large
golf bags.
Average Passenger Capacity: 4-8
Midsize Jets
Midsize Jet aircraft optimally blend comfort,
performance and economy for medium length flights. With average cruising
speeds over 500 mph and a nonstop range of about 2,100 miles, a midsize jet
can travel further, faster and with more comfort then light jets while operating
in and out of airports not accessible by the major airlines. Most of the
midsize jet aircraft have external baggage storage and can accommodate a
reasonable amount of baggage. However, some aircraft such as the Hawker line
of private jets only have internal baggage storage and can pose problems
for skis or other bulky items. Most midsize jets offer a private lavatory.
