The Right Jet for Every Journey: Your Ultimate Guide to Aircraft Charter Options
Don't settle for a one-size-fits-all flight. A jet charter broker unlocks a world of aircraft. Discover the different types of private jets, from nimble turboprops to luxurious heavy jets, and find the perfect aircraft for your next journey with Jet Moxie.
You’re not just booking a flight; you’re crafting an experience. Whether it’s a multi-city business tour, a discreet family getaway, or a transatlantic board meeting, the aircraft you choose is the foundation of your entire journey.
Being tied to a single operator's fleet is like having a key to only one car in a city full of possibilities. Sometimes you need a nimble sports car, other times a luxury sedan, and occasionally, a spacious SUV.
This is the core value of a world-class jet charter broker. At Jet Moxie, we don't own the jets—we own the *access*. We provide an unbiased, global network of the finest aircraft, ensuring that for every unique mission, you have the absolute perfect tool for the job.
So, what are your options? Let's unlock the hangar doors and explore the world of aircraft available to you.
Turboprops: The Agile Regional Connector
Think of turboprops as the luxury SUVs of the sky. They are robust, versatile, and uniquely capable of accessing remote locations and smaller airfields with shorter runways that are off-limits to most jets. Combining efficiency with comfort, they represent an intelligent and economical choice for shorter trips.
* Typical Passengers: 6-9
* Common Examples: King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12
* Perfect For: Island hopping in the Caribbean, reaching exclusive ski resorts, or cost-effective regional business travel for your team.
Very Light Jets (VLJs): Your Personal Air Taxi
The entry point into the world of private jet travel, the VLJ is a marvel of efficiency and design. It offers a significant leap in speed and altitude over a turboprop, getting you to your destination faster and above the weather. It’s the smart, swift solution for individuals or small teams on the move.
- Typical Passengers: 4-5
- Common Examples: Embraer Phenom 100, HondaJet
- Perfect For: A quick flight from New York to Boston for a meeting or a last-minute weekend trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
Light Jets: The Versatile Business Tool
This is perhaps the most popular and versatile category in private aviation. Light jets strike an impeccable balance between speed, range, and cabin comfort. They are the workhorses of the corporate world, capable of whisking executives between multiple cities in a single day, all while providing a comfortable, productive environment.
- Typical Passengers: 6-8
- Common Examples: Cessna Citation CJ3, Bombardier Learjet 75, Embraer Phenom 300
- Perfect For: Same-day business meetings in three different states or a family getaway to a destination a few hours away.
Midsize Jets: The Transcontinental Bridge
Step inside a midsize jet and you’ll immediately feel the difference. With more cabin height (often allowing for standing room), greater luggage capacity, and enhanced amenities, this category is built for longer legs. They comfortably connect coasts and continents, making them a preferred choice for those who value space and comfort on longer journeys.
- Typical Passengers: 7-9
- Common Examples: Cessna Citation Latitude, Hawker 800XP, Gulfstream G150
- Perfect For: Flying coast-to-coast nonstop, international business trips, or families who desire more space to relax.
Super Midsize Jets: The Best of Both Worlds
Marrying the long-range capabilities of a heavy jet with the agility and efficiency of a midsize, the super midsize category is a masterclass in performance. These aircraft boast impressive speed, range, and a spacious, quiet cabin, often complete with a flight attendant to cater to your needs. They are designed for travelers who need to cross continents without compromise.
- Typical Passengers: 8-10
- Common Examples: Bombardier Challenger 350, Cessna Citation X+, Gulfstream G280
- Perfect For: A direct flight from Chicago to London or for executives requiring a true stand-up cabin and premium amenities for long-haul productivity.
Heavy Jets: The Pinnacle of Private Air Travel
This is the boardroom, the bedroom, and the dining room at 45,000 feet. Heavy jets represent the zenith of luxury, range, and capability. Designed for intercontinental travel, their expansive, multi-zone cabins can be configured with everything from private staterooms with lie-flat beds to full-service galleys and entertainment suites.
- Typical Passengers: 10-16+
- Common Examples: Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 6000, Dassault Falcon 8X
- Perfect For: International travel from the U.S. to Asia, large executive teams, or anyone for whom the journey is as important as the destination.
Airliners: Your Exclusive Group Shuttle
When you need to move a larger group without sacrificing privacy and luxury, chartering an airliner is the ultimate solution. From sports teams and corporate retreats to multi-generational family vacations, these aircraft offer unparalleled space and customization. Configurations range from standard airline seating to bespoke VIP layouts with master suites, lounges, and boardrooms.
- Typical Passengers: 20-100+
- Common Examples: Boeing Business Jet (BBJ), Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ)
