Light jets are the entry-level jet class in the charter industry.
Light jets are the most economical choice for short to mid-range trips,
with average cruising speeds of 440 mph and an average nonstop range of
about 1,500 miles. A light jet can travel further and faster than
non-jet aircraft, while operating in and out of airports not accessible
by the major airlines. Amenities include pressurized passenger cabins
for added comfort, safety and performance and a semi-private or a fully
private enclosed lavatory. Light jets have limited baggage capacity and
often cannot accommodate skis or large golf bags.
