The fleet
The efficient two-to-three hour aircraft.
Light jets are the right answer more often than most people expect. For four to six passengers on a two- or three-hour leg — Boca Raton to Teterboro, Chicago to Aspen, Dallas to Los Angeles with a stop — they are quick, they get into short runways the bigger aircraft cannot use, and they are simply the right size for the mission.
What this category is genuinely good at
- Two to three hours in the air
- Four to six passengers traveling light
- Short or high-elevation runways — Aspen, Naples, Sun Valley
- Getting maximum value from every card hour
And where it stops
You stoop to move about the cabin, and baggage is the real constraint before seats are. Four passengers with ski or golf equipment is a Phenom 300 or a size up.

The light jets we fly
Every figure below is verified against manufacturer publication or a recognized industry reference, and range is stated with the conditions it assumes.
Cessna Citation CJ3+
The efficient light jet for four to six passengers on two-and-a-half to four-hour domestic legs, with short-runway access to airports a mid-size aircraft cannot use.
- Seats
- 6
- Range
- 1,374 nm
- Cruise
- 416 kt
Embraer Phenom 300E
The workhorse light jet — six or seven passengers, the fastest cruise and the largest baggage hold in the class, which makes it the default for ski and golf groups.
- Seats
- 7
- Range
- 1,600 nm
- Cruise
- 453 kt
Cessna Citation CJ4
The longest-legged light jet in the fleet — near mid-size speed and reach on light-jet operating economics.
- Seats
- 7
- Range
- 1,600 nm
- Cruise
- 451 kt
Common questions
How many passengers does a light jet carry?
A light jet typically carries 4–7 passengers in comfort. Maximum certified capacity is usually higher, but the comfortable number is the one worth planning around — and baggage is often the real constraint before seats are.
How far can a light jet fly?
Plan on around 1,350 nautical miles with a full cabin. Manufacturer headline figures are higher because they assume a lightly loaded aircraft at long-range cruise — we publish both and quote against the realistic one.
What is a light jet best for?
Light jets are the right answer more often than most people expect. For four to six passengers on a two- or three-hour leg — Boca Raton to Teterboro, Chicago to Aspen, Dallas to Los Angeles with a stop — they are quick, they get into short runways the bigger aircraft cannot use, and they are simply the right size for the mission.
What is the trade-off with a light jet?
You stoop to move about the cabin, and baggage is the real constraint before seats are. Four passengers with ski or golf equipment is a Phenom 300 or a size up.
