What a light jet is for

Light jets are the workhorse of European private aviation. They pair genuine jet speed with low operating cost, so they make the most sense for trips of one to three and a half hours with a small group — a board meeting two countries away, a weekend in the islands, or a same-day return that a scheduled airline simply can't make work.

Inside, expect a comfortable club layout for four to seven, a refreshment centre and room for soft luggage and golf or ski bags. What you trade away versus a midsize jet is a full stand-up cabin and transcontinental range — rarely an issue on the routes light jets fly best.

Because they're short-field capable, light jets reach thousands of smaller airfields the airlines never touch, often landing you far closer to where you actually need to be.

Light jet FAQ

Good to know before you charter

How many passengers fit on a light jet?
Most light jets seat 4 to 8 passengers plus two crew, with modest luggage capacity. They're ideal for small parties and short trips where comfort and cost-efficiency matter more than a stand-up cabin.
How far can a light jet fly?
Typical light jets reach about 1,150–2,200 nautical miles, roughly up to 3.5 hours non-stop — comfortably covering legs such as Madrid–London, Geneva–Ibiza or London–Marrakech.
How much does it cost to charter a light jet?
Indicative pricing starts from around €2,400 per flight hour. The all-inclusive total depends on the route, aircraft positioning, airport and handling fees, and your dates. We return an all-inclusive quote within minutes.
When should I choose a light jet over a midsize jet?
Choose a light jet for short hops of a few hours with a small party, when cost-efficiency and access to smaller airfields matter. Step up to a midsize jet when you need a stand-up cabin, more luggage or longer transcontinental range.
Which airports can light jets use?
Light jets are short-field capable, so they can use smaller regional airports and airfields the airlines don't serve — often landing you closer to your final destination.
