The fleet
Stand-up cabin. Three and a half hours in comfort.
The mid-size category is where a private aircraft stops being transport and starts being a place you can work. A stand-up or near stand-up cabin, a proper lavatory, real baggage volume, and enough range for most domestic business travel without a fuel stop.
What this category is genuinely good at
- Three to four hours in the air
- Six to eight passengers with luggage
- A cabin you can hold a meeting in
- The most-chartered category in North America — best availability
And where it stops
Genuine coast-to-coast nonstop is at the edge of the category. New York to Los Angeles against a winter headwind is a super-mid conversation.
- Typical capacity
- 7–8 passengers
- Planning range
- 1,700 nm
- Planning cruise
- 430 kt

Common questions
How many passengers does a mid jet carry?
A mid jet typically carries 7–8 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 mid jet fly?
Plan on around 1,700 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 mid jet best for?
The mid-size category is where a private aircraft stops being transport and starts being a place you can work. A stand-up or near stand-up cabin, a proper lavatory, real baggage volume, and enough range for most domestic business travel without a fuel stop.
What is the trade-off with a mid jet?
Genuine coast-to-coast nonstop is at the edge of the category. New York to Los Angeles against a winter headwind is a super-mid conversation.
