Light Jets (5 – 7 seats)

The ‘light’ or ‘small’ jets are the entry-level jets for short to medium range trips, combining jet comfort and speed with affordable economics. Cabin sizes (and baggage capacity) are mostly well-appointed and adequate for trips of up to 3 or 4 hours flight time that light jets are constructed for. Typical seating is for 6 up to 8-9 passengers, with no stand-up capacity in the cabin.
