Midsize jet charter

Room to work. Space to unwind.

The everyday choice. Stand-up cabin, real galley, a flight attendant when you want one. Coast-to-coast across the US, transcontinental Europe, transatlantic with a single fuel stop. The category most missions land on — for good reason.

Choose around the trip you actually have.

01
Coast-to-coast US

LAX to JFK in a single leg with reserves. New York to LA into the wind, plan a tech stop.

02
Transatlantic, one stop

Eastbound non-stop from Bangor or Halifax. Westbound add a Keflavík or Gander stop.

03
Group of 6–9

Full-size cabin without the heavy-jet hourly. The sweet spot for executive and family groups.

04
Multi-day mission

Crew rest within day, real lavatory, full galley. Built for back-to-back legs over a week.

A midsize label does not guarantee a six-foot cabin or nonstop coast-to-coast range.

Three models. Different cabins and capabilities.

Representative models to discuss — not live aircraft inventory. We source the right aircraft per trip from a network of vetted Part 135 operators.

Cessna

Cessna Citation XLS+

Up to 9 passengers · 2,100 nm published range · 441 kt cruise.

Availability. When the mission is midsize and the date is soon, the XLS+ is usually the aircraft that says yes. Ask for the exact seating plan and baggage allowance.

Hawker

Hawker 900XP

Up to 8 passengers · 2,930 nm published range · 448 kt cruise.

Coast-to-coast nonstops with eight aboard, and passengers who measure a cabin by shoulder room, not brochure length. Ask for the exact seating plan and baggage allowance.

Bombardier

Learjet 60XR

Up to 7 passengers · 2,405 nm published range · 464 kt cruise.

Time-critical hops where its climb-over-the-weather profile and market pricing beat newer metal. Ask for the exact seating plan and baggage allowance.

Model specifications are a starting point. Your quote should identify the actual aircraft and operator.

What does “more room” mean for you?

A typical midsize cabin runs 18 to 22 feet of length, six feet of stand-up height, and seats eight to nine in a four-seat club plus three- or four-place divan. Full galley with hot & cold options. Enclosed lavatory. Wi-Fi standard on most aircraft in the network.

Can your midsize jet fly nonstop?

The answer depends on the specific aircraft and planned flight, not the category name.

Ask for both options: a suitable midsize itinerary with any expected fuel stop, and a larger-aircraft alternative when nonstop travel is essential.

Good questions before you book.

No. Cabin height varies by model. The Citation XLS+ has a published 5 ft 8 in height in its dropped aisle; confirm the aircraft dimensions before booking.
