Super-Midsize Jet Charter

The class

Why charter a super-midsize jet

Super-midsize jets bridge the gap between midsize cabins and heavy iron. You get a true stand-up cabin, transcontinental nonstop range, and a flat-floor or near-flat aisle - without stepping up to the operating cost of a heavy jet. For a group of executives, a family, or a small leadership team, it is one of the most versatile categories in private aviation.

Cabin comfort and baggage

The super-midsize cabin is where this class earns its reputation. You can stand and move freely, hold a face-to-face meeting around a club layout, and stretch out for a five-hour leg. Most aircraft offer an enclosed lavatory, a refreshment galley, and in-flight connectivity. Externally accessible baggage holds in the 100-130 cubic foot range easily swallow a group's luggage plus golf clubs or ski gear - a meaningful upgrade over light and many midsize jets.

Is a super-midsize jet right for my trip?

A super-midsize jet is ideal when you want a stand-up cabin, transcontinental nonstop range, and generous luggage capacity for a group of up to 9. For shorter regional hops a midsize or light jet may cost less, while for long-haul international flights a heavy or ultra-long-range jet is the better fit.
