A helicopter to the Hamptons? A light-jet to San Francisco? Perhaps a VIP airline to Moscow? JetLife arranges business charter flights in the U.S. and worldwide. We work closely with our clients to ensure they can make the most of their time. Our team has been entrusted with arranging aircraft charters for some of the biggest companies in the world.
Helicopters
This is one of the quickest and most convenient methods of fast transit travel to multiple business destinations, private locations, and remote areas. The range of helicopters and their flexibility allow passengers to fulfill any short-haul journey effectively.
Helicopters have a full integration of speed, performance and maneuverability, as well as spacious cabins which consistently contain wide-open club seating, with exceptional comfort and visibility. Impeccably appointed, intelligently designed and highly adaptable to address a range of individual needs, their capabilities allow excellent connections into remote areas and city centers, with the ability to land at helipads, hotels and even private properties, where space allows. Helicopters also fit naturally into other market segments, including medical evacuations and search-and-rescue operations.
Piston Aircraft
When comparing specific ranges of similar piston and turboprop aircraft, the latter requires significantly more fuel to fly the same distance – they are, therefore, more expensive to run, yet significantly faster and much more operational at a multitude of altitudes and temperatures. Piston aircraft are ideal as low-cost air taxis, often to remote locations, using shorter runways, where other private jets are unable to land.
They are best suited for short-haul charters, with small passenger loads, to areas with restricted or limited jet access
Turboprops
Turboprop aircraft, although not as cost-effective as their piston-engine predecessors, offer a more reliable, faster and technologically advanced solution for short-haul trips. Turboprops can, however, take passengers further on less fuel, when compared with helicopters, while offering comfortable and spacious interiors.
Whether you are traveling to major airports, smaller provincial hubs or short and underdeveloped airstrips, the versatility of aircraft in this category shows why thousands of individuals, companies, and governments often choose them as their preferred method of travel.
Able to land at almost any airfield and perform flawlessly in all conditions, elegant interior touches make these light aircraft serious business and leisure solutions, with very strong amenities to match.
Very Light Jets (VLJs)
VLJS are a recent addition to private aviation, simply offering an alternative, lower-cost option for ultra-short-haul journeys. They offer lower operating costs than conventional private jets and are able to operate from runways as short as 3000 feet (914m), making them attractive either for personal use or as a point-to-point air taxi.
Light Jets
More often than not, executive travel fits within the two-three hour mark, making light jets one of the most commonly used categories of aircraft, offering an effective and comfortable solution for any short-haul journey. Capable of carrying up to eight passengers, this range of aircraft is often highly popular for the more time-conscious passenger. This is why they are often chosen by a multitude of businesses worldwide. Much more cost-effective than larger jets, over shorter trips, light jets offer a reliable and convenient method of private travel for a vast array of customers and clients.
Super-Light Jets
A relatively niche category of aircraft, super-light jets offer an extended range and increased speeds over their light jet counterparts. they are capable of up to four hours’ flight time, with the ability to connect a much larger network of cities. Interiors are predominantly larger than those of light jets, with seating for up to eight passengers. They offer more ample space in which to work, relax or dine, in addition to significantly larger internal and external baggage storage.
Mid-Size Jets
Capable of tackling many of the same missions more efficiently than the larger heavy jet market, mid-size jets offer innovative combinations of range, speed, and comfort, coupled with lower operating costs than their counterparts. Regarded as an efficient alternative to the larger heavy jets, these are capable of flying for up to six hours, with intercontinental ranges. The mid-size jets also commonly feature full stand-up cabins, as well as ample luggage compartments, enclosed bathrooms, fold-out divans and tabled seating areas.
Super-mid Size Jets
Positioned in between the mid-size and heavy category of jet, the super-mid-size jets can provide intercontinental ranges, in flexible and highly comfortable surroundings, without the added costs of the larger and more elaborate heavy jet market More and more manufacturers are recognizing this category as one for future development, with three core manufacturers currently with jets in production. The super-mid-size category is growing considerably, owing to its flexibility which allows extensive interiors, with all of the on-board amenities and excellent technological and performance capabilities.
Heavy Jets
Large spacious stand-up cabins, increased ranges, passenger and baggage capacities are some of the reasons why the heavy jet category is so sought after. Delicate interior touches, with the ability to contain fold-out beds and dedicated dining areas, allow heavy jets to cater for a larger number of passengers, in impressive surroundings. Heavy jets connect continents with ease, with cruise speeds, significantly higher than smaller, lighter jets, offering an experience to all passengers which is rarely rivaled.
Heavy Jets- Ultra Long Range
Ultra-long-range heavy jets dominate the top echelon of the air charter market – they are the gold standard. Always the flagship aircraft for their respective manufacturers, they include exceptional speed and power capabilities, with ultra-long ranges connecting them to virtually any city in the world. These aircraft contain extensive galleys, with the most impressive technological advancements and interior configurations, often including full-length wardrobes, stand-up showers, wider seats, larger windows, and increased aisle room, providing the utmost interior comfort.
VIP/Executive Airlines
Executive airliners can efficiently fly intercontinental routes with unbeatable comfort. They are well and truly in a class of their own, catering to the most eminent of clients. The robust characteristics of these commercially inspired aircraft are an excellent value proposition, when outfitted for the private market. With huge amounts of cabin floor area, there is an infinite number of interior configurations. This brings a new dimension to executive aviation, increasing comfort, productivity, privacy and security, offering the widest cross-sections and the most headroom With the ability to contain business and conference centers, lounge areas, fully equipped bedrooms, private suites and stand-up showers, the level of quality, functionality and luxury meets the most demanding requirements. Executive airliners consistently have cabins wide enough to allow for corridors around separated rooms – ensuring that private work and rest areas are, indeed, private.
