VIP Airliner Charter



A VIP airliner charter gives you the cabin space of a private residence with the range of a commercial jet. These are airliners converted for private use, seating fifteen to fifty or more passengers across bedrooms, lounges, dining areas, offices, and bathrooms with showers. Aircraft like the Boeing BBJ and Airbus ACJ turn a 737 or A319 airframe into a flying home or headquarters, flying intercontinental routes such as London to Los Angeles, New York to Dubai, or Hong Kong to London non-stop. Larger widebody conversions extend that reach to the longest routes flown privately.

Specifications

Passenger capacity 15 to 50+
Range 5,000 to 8,000 nautical miles
Cruise speed Up to 540 mph
Typical missions Global travel for heads of state, corporations, and large delegations
Example aircraft Boeing BBJ 737, Airbus ACJ319

 

 

When to choose a VIP airliner



Large groups travelling together

Fifteen to fifty or more passengers, with full luggage, travel as a single group rather than splitting across several aircraft. Corporate teams, government delegations, sports squads, and extended families all fly together on one aircraft.

A flying office or residence

Separate bedrooms, boardrooms, lounges, and dining areas let passengers work, meet, rest, and dine in private zones on the same flight. The cabin is configured to the mission rather than to a fixed seat map.

Intercontinental range with airliner space

A range of 5,000 to 8,000 nautical miles covers the world's longest routes with cabin space no purpose-built business jet can match. Narrowbody BBJ and ACJ aircraft reach around 6,000 nautical miles, while widebody conversions fly further still.

Head of state and security requirements

Secure communications, discretion, and fully bespoke configuration make VIP airliners the standard choice for heads of state, royal households, and government delegations travelling with an entourage.

FAQs

What's the difference between a VIP airliner and an ultra long range jet?
Cabin size and passenger capacity.
A VIP airliner is a commercial airframe, such as a Boeing 737 or Airbus A319, converted for private use and seating fifteen to fifty or more passengers. An ultra long range jet is a purpose-built business jet seating up to nineteen. Choose an airliner when you need a flying residence or space for a large group.
How many passengers can a VIP airliner carry?
Fifteen to fifty or more.
VIP configurations prioritise space, with bedrooms and lounges reducing the seat count. Higher-density corporate and government layouts seat more passengers, and the largest widebody conversions carry a hundred or more.
What's the difference between a Boeing BBJ and an Airbus ACJ?
The airframe.
The BBJ is based on the Boeing 737, and the ACJ on the Airbus A319 or A320. The ACJ has a slightly wider and taller cabin, while the BBJ has a large global fleet and support network. Range and comfort across the two are broadly comparable.
Are there real bedrooms and showers on board?
Yes.
Master bedrooms with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms with showers, boardrooms, and dining areas are standard in VIP airliner configurations. The layout is built to your requirements.
Can a VIP airliner fly non-stop between continents?
Yes.
Narrowbody aircraft such as the Boeing BBJ and Airbus ACJ fly around 6,000 nautical miles non-stop, covering routes like London to Los Angeles or New York to Dubai. Widebody VVIP aircraft exceed 8,000 nautical miles.
Can a VIP airliner use smaller airports?
Within limits.
Narrowbody BBJ and ACJ aircraft access many airports and can board passengers using their own airstairs, without ground equipment. The largest widebody VVIP aircraft need major hubs with long runways and strong pavement.

Heavy Jet Charter



A heavy jet charter gives you a full stand-up cabin, transcontinental range, and the space to travel as a group across continents in a single flight. These are large-cabin business jets that seat 10 to 16 passengers, with separate cabin zones, an enclosed lavatory, a full galley, and generous baggage capacity. Routes like London to New York, London to Dubai, and coast-to-coast across the United States fly nonstop, making the heavy jet the workhorse of long-haul private travel for most trips that do not require the very longest ultra-long-range legs.

Specifications

Passenger capacity 10 to 16
Range 4,000 to 6,000 nautical miles
Cruise speed Up to 590 mph
Typical missions Transcontinental and intercontinental flights (e.g. London to New York)
Example aircraft Bombardier Challenger 650, Gulfstream G450

 

 

When to choose a heavy jet



Transcontinental and intercontinental range

Heavy jets fly routes such as London to New York, Geneva to New York, and Los Angeles to New York non-stop with a full passenger load, covering most long-haul missions without a fuel stop.

Larger groups travelling together

Ten to sixteen passengers, with full luggage, fit comfortably across separate cabin zones. Corporate teams, family groups, and small delegations all travel together in one aircraft.

A full stand-up cabin

Unlike smaller jets, heavy jets offer a full-height cabin you can walk through, an enclosed lavatory, and a full galley for hot catering and proper cabin service throughout the flight.

Cost-effective long-haul travel

For the majority of intercontinental routes, a heavy jet delivers the range and comfort you need at a lower hourly rate than an ultra-long-range jet. You pay for the capability the trip actually requires.

Popular heavy jet charter routes

Heavy jets cover most transcontinental and intercontinental routes flown privately, where range, cabin space, and group capacity all matter.

 

FAQs

What's the difference between a heavy jet and an ultra-long-range jet?
Range and rest configuration.
A heavy jet covers transcontinental and most intercontinental routes non-stop. An ultra-long-range jet adds roughly 2,000 nautical miles of range and dedicated sleeping areas for the very longest legs, such as New York to Hong Kong or London to Singapore. For most long-haul trips, a heavy jet is the more cost-effective choice.
Can a heavy jet fly non-stop across the Atlantic?
Yes.
Aircraft like the Challenger 650 and Gulfstream G450 fly London to New York non-stop in either direction with a full passenger load and luggage. Longer routes, such as London to Los Angeles, may need a technical stop depending on the aircraft and headwinds.
How many passengers fit on a heavy jet?
Ten to sixteen.
Most heavy jets seat ten to fourteen passengers in a comfortable multi-zone layout. Some configurations accommodate up to sixteen, though longer sectors usually mean fewer passengers and more space per person.
Do heavy jets have a stand-up cabin and lavatory?
Yes.
Heavy jets offer a full-height stand-up cabin you can walk through, an enclosed lavatory, and a full galley for hot catering. Many can carry one or two cabin crew for full in-flight service.
Is there Wi-Fi on a heavy jet?
Yes, on most aircraft.
Most heavy jets include satellite Wi-Fi supporting email, calls, and streaming in flight, including over oceans. Coverage and speed vary by aircraft, so tell us if reliable connectivity is essential and we will match you to a suitable jet.
How quickly can I book a heavy jet?
Within hours.
In urgent cases, we can have an aircraft airborne within a few hours of receiving your booking confirmation and any required documentation.

Super Midsize Jet Charter



A super midsize jet charter pairs heavy-jet cabin comfort with midsize running costs, giving you a stand-up cabin, transcontinental range, and room to work or rest on longer sectors. These aircraft seat eight to ten passengers, cruise at up to around Mach 0.83, and typically fly 3,000 to 3,600 nautical miles non-stop. Coast-to-coast flights across the United States, London to the Gulf, and many transatlantic routes are within reach on a single tank. For teams and families who have outgrown a light or midsize jet but do not need a full heavy jet, this is the category that fits.

Specifications

Passenger capacity 8 to 10
Range 3,000 to 3,600 nautical miles
Cruise speed Up to around 530 mph (Mach 0.83)
Typical missions Transcontinental and some transatlantic travel
Example aircraft Praetor 600, Citation Latitude

 

 

When to choose a super midsize jet



Transcontinental and transatlantic range

Super midsize jets fly coast-to-coast across the United States and cover London to the Gulf and many transatlantic routes non-stop. The Praetor 600, at the top of the class, reaches roughly 4,000 nautical miles, enough for London to New York without a fuel stop.

Stand-up cabin for work and rest

A flat-floor, stand-up cabin of around six feet lets passengers move about, hold meetings, and stretch out on longer flights. This is the clear step up from light and midsize jets, where headroom and legroom are tighter.

Larger groups with full luggage

Eight to ten passengers travel with full luggage in a single cabin, with an enclosed lavatory and a proper galley. It suits corporate teams, sports groups, and families who want to fly together.

Access to smaller airports

Super midsize jets still use many regional and city airports that larger heavy jets cannot, so you land closer to your destination while keeping long-range reach.

Popular super midsize jet charter routes

Super midsize jets cover long transcontinental and transatlantic sectors where cabin comfort, range, and airport flexibility all matter.

FAQs

What’s the difference between a midsize and a super midsize jet?
Cabin size, range, and speed.
A super midsize jet charter adds a taller stand-up cabin, roughly 500 to 1,000 nautical miles of extra range, and higher cruise speeds. For transcontinental and transatlantic trips with a full group, the step up is worth it.
Can a super midsize jet fly transatlantic?
Some can.
The Praetor 600 flies London to New York non-stop, the only super midsize jet that does so with a full load. Most others in the class cross the Atlantic with one short fuel stop, or fly the shorter transatlantic routes direct.
How many passengers fit on a super midsize jet?
Eight to ten.
Most super midsize jets seat eight to nine passengers in a double-club layout, with some configurations taking ten. Full luggage for the group travels in a dedicated baggage hold.
Which super midsize jet has the longest range?
The Praetor 600.
The Embraer Praetor 600 reaches roughly 4,018 nautical miles, the longest in the class, which is why it can fly London to New York non-stop. The Citation Latitude, by contrast, is built for transcontinental sectors of around 2,700 nautical miles.
Is there a stand-up cabin and a lavatory on board?
Yes.
Super midsize jets have flat-floor, stand-up cabins of around six feet, an enclosed rear lavatory, and a full galley. This is the comfort step up from light and midsize jets.
How fast can I book a super midsize jet?
Within hours.
In urgent cases, we can have an aircraft airborne within a few hours of receiving your booking confirmation and any required documentation.

Midsize Jet Charter



A midsize jet charter blends the range and cabin comfort of a larger aircraft with the efficiency of a smaller one. These are well-balanced business jets, seating seven to nine passengers in a full stand-up cabin, with an enclosed lavatory, refreshment galley, and generous baggage capacity. Routes like New York to Los Angeles coast-to-coast, or London to the Mediterranean, fly comfortably on a midsize jet charter, which makes it a popular choice for business travel and longer domestic trips.

Specifications

Passenger capacity 7 to 9
Range 2,300 to 3,000 nautical miles
Cruise speed Up to 530 mph
Typical missions Longer domestic flights and short international trips
Example aircraft Learjet 60, Hawker 850XP

 

 

When to choose a midsize jet



Coast-to-coast and longer domestic flights

Midsize jets comfortably cover longer domestic routes and coast-to-coast trips like New York to Los Angeles, where a light jet would usually need a fuel stop.

Stand-up cabin comfort

A full stand-up cabin, enclosed lavatory, and greater legroom make longer sectors comfortable for business travellers and groups alike.

Business travel with a full group

Seven to nine passengers with luggage or equipment fit comfortably, with the baggage capacity that shorter-range jets lack.

Short international trips

Midsize jets handle short international routes such as London to southern Europe, North Africa, or the near Middle East, balancing range with running efficiency.

FAQs

What's the difference between a light jet and a midsize jet?
Cabin size, range, and baggage.
A midsize jet adds a full stand-up cabin, roughly 500 to 1,000 nautical miles more range, and greater baggage capacity than a light jet. For longer domestic flights or short international trips with a full group, the extra space and range matter.
Can a midsize jet fly coast to coast across the US non-stop?
Usually, yes.
Most midsize jets cover routes like New York to Los Angeles non-stop. Strong westbound headwinds can occasionally require a brief fuel stop on the shorter-range models, but eastbound and many westbound flights run without one.
How many passengers fit on a midsize jet?
Seven to nine.
Midsize jets typically seat seven to nine passengers in a stand-up cabin, with enough baggage capacity for a full group travelling with luggage or equipment.
Can a midsize jet fly transatlantic?
Not usually non-stop.
With 2,300 to 3,000 nautical miles of range, most midsize jets fall short of a non-stop London to New York crossing, particularly westbound against headwinds. For reliable transatlantic travel, a super-midsize or heavy jet is the better fit.
What amenities are on a midsize jet?
Stand-up cabin and full amenities.
Midsize jets feature a stand-up cabin, an enclosed lavatory, a refreshment galley, and in-flight connectivity on many aircraft. There is space to work, hold a meeting, or relax across a longer flight.
How fast can I book a midsize jet?
Within hours.
For urgent trips, we can often have a midsize jet airborne within a few hours of your booking confirmation and any required documentation.

More cabin. More range. Same value.

Light jet charter is the workhorse of business aviation. With six to eight seats, a range up to 2,000 nautical miles, and meaningfully more cabin space than entry-level jets, light jets handle most short to medium-domestic flights with ease. They cost more per hour than a very light jet, but the extra speed, range, and comfort make them the right choice when your trip needs more than the smallest jets can deliver.

Specifications

Passenger capacity 6 to 8
Range 1,200 to 2,000 nautical miles
Cruise speed Up to 460 mph
Typical missions Short to medium domestic flights
Example aircraft Hawker Premier 1, Cessna CJ3+

When to choose a light jet



1. Domestic business travel

If you're flying London to Edinburgh, Paris to Geneva, or any route under three hours with a team of six, a light jet gives you space to work and the speed to make it feel routine.

2. Mid-range European trips

With a range up to 2,000 nautical miles, a light jet handles most intra-European routes nonstop. London to Athens, Frankfurt to Lisbon, and Stockholm to Madrid all fit comfortably.

3. More cabin space than a VLJ

Light jets like the Cessna CJ3+ offer noticeably more legroom, baggage capacity, and cabin width than entry-level jets. For trips over two hours, the comfort difference matters.

4. Cost-conscious group travel

For six to eight passengers, a light jet typically costs less per seat than a midsize jet, making it the value choice when your group fits inside its capacity.

How far can a light jet fly?
Up to 2,000 nautical miles.
That covers most intra-European routes non-stop, including longer trips like London to Athens or Frankfurt to Lisbon. For trips beyond 2,000 nautical miles, a super light or midsize jet is usually the better choice.
How much does it cost to charter a light jet?
From £4,000 per hour.

What's the difference between a light jet and a midsize jet?
Cabin size and range.
Midsize jets offer stand-up cabins as standard, a longer range up to 3,000 nautical miles, and seating for up to nine. They cost around £6,750 per hour, compared with £4,000 for a light jet.
Can a light jet fly transatlantic?
No.
Light jets are designed for short to medium flights up to 2,000 nautical miles. For transatlantic travel, a heavy jet or ultra-long-range jet is the right choice.
How quickly can I charter a light jet?
Within hours.
We can have a light jet airborne within a few hours of booking confirmation in urgent cases. For best availability and pricing, book as far in advance as you can.

Small jet. Big reach.



The entry-level jet charter is the most cost-effective way to step up from a turboprop into pure jet travel. Also called Very Light Jets or VLJs, these aircraft are usually single-pilot certified, seat two to five passengers, and use shorter runways than larger jets. If you need jet speed and altitude for a short business trip or weekend break, an entry-level jet charter gives you the lowest hourly rate in the jet category.

Specifications

Passenger capacity 2 to 5 (some models seat more)
Range 1,000 to 2,000 nautical miles
Cruise speed Up to 425 mph
Typical missions Short business or personal trips
Example aircraft Eclipse 500, HondaJet

When to choose an entry-level jet



1. Short business trips

If you're flying point-to-point in under three hours with a small team, an entry-level jet gives you jet speed, jet altitudes, and a private cabin at the lowest hourly rate of any jet category.

2. Small group travel

For two to five passengers, you don't need a larger cabin. Entry-level jets size the aircraft to your group, which keeps costs down without sacrificing the private flight experience.

3. Smaller airport access

Models like the HondaJet and Eclipse 500 use shorter runways than light or midsize jets, opening up regional airfields closer to your destination.

4. First-time private flyers

If you're new to private aviation, a small private jet charter is a sensible introduction. You get the privacy, flexibility, and time savings without the cost of a larger jet.

  • Blackbushe to Jersey
  • Dundee to Belfast
  • Paris-Le Bourget to Courchevel

Entry-level jet charter FAQs

What's the difference between an entry-level jet and a turboprop?
Speed and altitude.
An entry-level jet flies higher and faster, typically reaching up to 425 mph compared with around 333 mph for a turboprop. Hourly cost is also higher, but on flights over two hours, the time saving is meaningful.
How many passengers fit on a very light jet?
Two to five.
Most very light jets are configured for four passengers in club seating. The HondaJet seats up to six in a slightly larger cabin, but four is the comfortable standard.
Can an entry-level jet land at small airports?
Yes.
Entry-level jets are designed for short runways and smaller regional airfields. The Eclipse 500 and HondaJet can both operate from runways that jets in larger categories cannot use.
Is an entry-level jet cheaper than a light jet?
Yes.
Entry-level jet charter starts at around £3,000 per hour, compared with £4,000 for a light jet. For small groups on short trips, the savings are significant.
Are entry-level jets single-pilot?
Usually.
Most entry-level jets are certified for single-pilot operation. We always recommend two-pilot configurations for added safety, which is the default in our operator network.
How fast can I book an entry-level jet?
Within hours.
In urgent cases, we can have an aircraft airborne within a few hours of receiving your booking confirmation and any required documentation.

Non-stop. Anywhere.

An ultra-long-range jet charter gives you non-stop intercontinental reach with the comfort of a private residence in the air. These are the top-tier business jets, seating twelve to nineteen passengers with sleeping areas, full galleys, large baggage holds, and the most advanced avionics available. Routes like New York to Hong Kong, London to Singapore, or Sydney to Los Angeles fly non-stop on a global private jet charter, which no other private jet category can claim.

Specifications

Passenger capacity 12 to 19
Range 6,000 to 7,700+ nautical miles
Cruise speed Up to 610 mph
Typical missions Non-stop intercontinental flights (e.g. New York to Hong Kong)
Example aircraft Falcon 8X, Gulfstream G550

When to choose an ultra-long-range jet



1. Non-stop global travel:

Non-stop intercontinental jetsare the only private aircraft capable of routes like New York to Hong Kong, London to Singapore, or Dubai to Los Angeles non-stop with full passenger load.

2. Sleeping accommodation in flight:

Dedicated sleeping areas with proper mattresses allow passengers to arrive rested after twelve to fifteen-hour flights. For executives flying to morning meetings, this is the difference between productive arrival and lost days.

3. Large delegations or families:

Twelve to nineteen passengers with full luggage fit comfortably across multiple cabin zones. Heads of state, corporate boards, and large family groups all use this category.

4. Cutting-edge avionics and cabin technology:

Synthetic vision, enhanced flight vision, high-speed satellite Wi-Fi, and quietest-in-class cabin acoustics combine to make long sectors genuinely comfortable.

Light jet price. Midsize feel.



Super light jet charter sits between light and midsize jets, offering more cabin space, range, and comfort than a standard light jet at a lower hourly rate than midsize. With seven to eight seats, a range up to 2,300 nautical miles, and an enclosed lavatory as standard, super light jets are the right choice for regional and cross-country travel where your group needs more room than a light jet provides but doesn't justify the cost of a midsize.

Specifications

Passenger capacity 7 to 8
Range 2,000 to 2,300 nautical miles
Cruise speed Up to 520 mph
Typical missions Regional and cross-country travel
Example aircraft Pilatus PC-24, Embraer Phenom 300

When to choose a super light jet



1. Cross-country travel

With a range up to 2,300 nautical miles and cruise speeds approaching 520 mph, a regional jet charter handles longer European routes and transcontinental US flights non-stop.

2. Groups of seven to eight

If your group is at the upper end of light jet capacity, a super light jet gives everyone more legroom and luggage space without stepping up to a midsize jet's higher rate.

3. Mixed business and leisure

The Phenom 300 and Pilatus PC-24 both offer cabin layouts that work for working teams and leisure travellers alike, with comfortable seating and a private lavatory.

4. Performance over short fields

The Pilatus PC-24 is the only super light jet certified for short, unpaved runways, making it uniquely capable for trips to remote destinations or smaller airfields.

Turboprop Charter



Turboprop charter is one of the most cost-effective ways to fly privately on short and regional routes. With a typical range of around 1,000 to 1,500 nautical miles, turboprops are ideal for regional private flights, smaller airports and journeys where a jet may not be necessary. Their propeller-driven turbine engines make them efficient at lower altitudes, while many models can operate from shorter runways than comparable jet aircraft.

Specifications

Passenger capacity Typically, 4-9 passengers, depending on aircraft configuration
Range Around 1,000-1,500 nautical miles
Cruise speed Around 250–330 mph, depending on aircraft type
Typical missions Short regional flights, smaller airports, business travel, leisure trips and cost-effective private aviation
Example aircraft Beechcraft King Air 200, Beechcraft King Air 350, Daher TBM 940, Pilatus PC-12

 

 

When to choose a turboprop



Short regional flights

If your trip is under around three hours, a turboprop can often be more than a light jet. On short sectors, the flight-time difference may be relatively small, while the cost saving can be significant.

Access to smaller airfields

Many turboprops can operate from shorter runways than comparable jets, depending on aircraft type, passenger load, weather, runway condition and operator approval. This can open up smaller regional airports closer to your final destination.

Lower-cost private travel

Turboprops are the entry point to private aviation. For groups of four to eight on short trips, they offer all the privacy and flexibility of a private jet at a significantly lower hourly rate.

Noise-restricted airports

At some airports, turboprops may be subject to different operating restrictions from jets. Where curfews, noise rules or slot constraints apply, Golden Aviation can advise on suitable aircraft and routing options.

Popular turboprop charter routes

Turboprops are especially useful for short regional flights where a jet may be unnecessary or where a smaller airport is closer to the final destination.

FAQs

Is a turboprop the same as a private jet?
No. A turboprop is a private aircraft, but not technically a jet. Turboprops use propeller-driven turbine engines, while jets use turbofan engines. Many people search for “turboprop private jet” when they are looking for a cost-effective private aircraft for short regional flights.
What is King Air charter?
King Air charter is the private hire of a Beechcraft King Air turboprop aircraft. King Air aircraft are commonly used for short regional flights, business travel and smaller airports, offering a practical alternative to a light jet on many short routes.
How many people can fit on a turboprop?
Most private charter turboprops seat between four and nine passengers, depending on the aircraft model and cabin configuration. Many are configured for six to eight passengers in executive seating.
Is a turboprop charter cheaper than a light jet?
In many cases, yes. Turboprops are often more cost-effective than light jets on short regional flights. The exact saving depends on route, availability, aircraft positioning and airport fees.
How far in advance should I book a turboprop?
Booking early usually gives you more aircraft choices and better availability, especially during busy travel periods. Golden Aviation can also support short-notice requests where aircraft and crew are available.
