HEAVY JET
|
|
|
|
Heavy jets are perfect for international journeys as well as transcontinental travel.
Heavy jets are configured to seat between nine and sixteen passengers and have an average
cabin height of six feet, classifying them as true "stand-up" cabins. Flight attendants
are standard in addition to a fully enclosed lavatory and a large capacity for luggage
(can accommodate 15 to 20 assorted-sized pieces).

SUPER MIDSIZE JET
|
|
|
|
Roomier cabins than standard midsize aircraft, super midsize jets
are ideal for cross-country or transatlantic journeys. These
aircraft offer many benefits of the heavy jets but at more
competitive rates: full standing headroom, fully enclosed
lavatory, and good luggage capacity. Seating varies from eight
passengers to up to thirteen passengers

MIDSIZE JET
|
|
|
|
Improved headroom, compared to light jets, and a separate lavatory define this
category. Mid-size jets are configured to seat six to eight passengers. However
even with a full load, all passengers can be seated in comfort and there is ample
room for luggage. Moving around the cabin is relatively easy, even though it is
not considered a full "stand-up" cabin. These jets have a range of approximately
four to five and a half hours.

LIGHT JET
|
|
|
|
Light jets are the smallest class of business jets and are designed for shorter, regional
journeys of approximately three to four and a half hours. Light jets are configured to seat
six to eight passengers and with a full passenger load, seating may get tight and baggage
space may get limited. Also, the lavatory configuration varies.

|
|
VERY LIGHT JET
|
|
|
|
Very light jets seat four to eight passengers, with a maximum take-off weight of under
10,000 pounds (4,540 kg). They are lighter than what is commonly termed business jets
and ideal for short-haul flights of up to two hours. Lavatory configuration varies.

|
|
TURBOPROP
|
|
|
|
TurboProps are an economic alternative to jets for short-haul flights with a duration of up to
two to four hours. These aircraft have pressurized cabins and seating configurations ranges
from four and up depending on aircraft. Lavatory configuration also varies.
