Charter a Gulfstream GII Private Jet
The 12-seat Gulfstream GII will climb 4,350 feet per minute and has a service ceiling of 42,500 feet. It typically cruises at 450 to 475 knots and has a full-seats range of 2,625 nautical miles. A longer-range variant, the GIIB (a GII retrofitted with the GIII wing), will fly more than 3,500 nautical miles. Sixteen copies of another variant, the GIITT, were produced. They are fitted with the GII wing and tip tanks (structures that look like torpedoes attached to the ends of wings that hold additional fuel). Under typical loads, a GII can comfortably use 5,000-foot runways. Of the 256 GIIs produced between 1966 and 1979, 240 remain in service. Used ones can be had for as little as $1.5 million, with the average price running around $2.7 million.
For that amount, you get a cabin about the same size as a Gulfstream IV’s. It is a comfortable 1,270 cubic feet and measures 39 feet long, seven feet wide and six feet tall-plenty of space for four club seats, another four seats in a conference grouping with a table and a divan or two. The galley and lav are located aft of the passenger seats. The 157-cubic-foot baggage compartment is accessible through the lav in flight. The compartment can be externally loaded. The cabin is awash in natural light, thanks to Gulfstream’s large, signature elliptical windows.
Cabin of the Gulfstream GII Private Jet
GIIs were originally delivered unpainted and without an interior to aircraft distributors who were responsible for the completions. In 1967, these “green” airplanes fetched $1.5 million each (like now, the cost of the completion depended upon how much the customer wanted to spend). Almost all GIIs have since had their interiors redone at least once, but you can still find a few flying around with eight-track stereo and primitive ice drawers.
Even though a GII is a guzzler and requires more maintenance, a new airplane with this kind of cabin space, range and speed starts at about $27 million, while a newer used one starts in the high teens. The $15 million to $23 million saved buys lots of gas and wrench time, particularly if you plan to fly less than 300 hours a year.

Charter the Embraer Legacy 500 Private Jet
For $18.4 million (2008 dollars) the Embraer Legacy 500 delivers the ability to carry up to 12 passengers in a cabin that is near super-midsize. With four passengers, it has a range of 3,000 nautical miles. High-speed cruise is Mach 0.82. Passengers can bring more luggage, skis, golf clubs and anything else than they could fit in almost any other midsize or super-midsize jet: The 500 has 150 cubic feet of baggage space–110 in the external compartment and another 40 in the closet that can be accessed through the lavatory.
The spacious, flat-floor main cabin measures 26 feet 10 inches long, 6 feet 10 inches wide and 6 feet tall. Customers can choose between a large, well-appointed forward galley opposite galley annex storage or a single, side-facing seat ideal for a cabin attendant. Or they can have a side-facing, two-place divan opposite a small refreshment center. The wet galley features hot and cold water, four gallons of potable water, crystal storage and an ice drawer, compartments for china and silverware, 110V power outlet and optional monitor and espresso maker.
Behind that is the two-zone main cabin with ¬seating for eight to nine more passengers.
Possible configurations include two club-four groupings of single seats or a forward club-four followed by a half-club with a three-place, berthing divan on either the right or left side.
Half club pairs of single seats can be rotated back-to-back and then reclined together to form a comfortable sleeping surface. With the seats positioned and folded down in this manner, the 500 provides sleeping accommodations for up to four passengers. Behind that is the lavatory, complete with solid door, vanity, basin and vacuum toilet–a luxury not usually seen in an airplane of this size.
The aircraft features Honeywell’s high-definition Ovation Select cabin-management system, which allows passengers to manage all cabin entertainment, communications, lights, temperature, galley and window-shade controls via drink-rail-mounted personal control units, wireless handheld remotes or a galley touchscreen. It can interface with high-speed satellite communications and a variety of consumer electronics, including iPods, MP3 players, Apple TV and gaming systems. Moreover, it is built on an Ethernet backbone and has extensive diagnostic and troubleshooting capability. Ovation’s media interface also hosts the optional JetMap3HD moving-map applications and the latest news, weather and sports updates. Ovation uses high-end Rosen HD monitors and Alto audio components. The aircraft pressurization system keeps cabin altitude at a comfortable 6,000 feet at the 500′s maximum cruising altitude of 45,000 feet.
If you want an airplane with transcontinental range, a comfortable and innovative cabin, the latest avionics and good operating economics, the 500 should make your list of finalists. This aircraft will become available for charter in early 2013.

Charter the Bell 407 Helicopter
Bell introduced the 407 in 1996 and more than 1,100 are currently in service. Over the years, strikingly little has been changed on the helicopter yet it continues to sell well, mainly because of its durability and the manufacturer’s excellent product support. (more…)
Charter the Embraer Legacy 600 Private Jet
When introduced in 2002, the Legacy 600 offered a simple value proposition: a spacious cabin on par with that of a Gulfstream GV–and for half the price. The Legacy 600 can haul 10 passengers and lots of luggage 3,043 nautical miles at Mach .78, or roughly 500 mph. That’s about half the range of the Gulfstream and about 50 mph slower. Embraer marketed the airplane as an alternative to super-midsize jets such as the Gulfstream G200, the Dassault Falcon Jet 2000EX and the Bombardier Challenger 300, models that when new fall into the $20 million to $24 million price range. However, you can buy a used Legacy that’s less than 10 years old for as little as $12 million, about what you’d pay for a comparable vintage Cessna Citation Sovereign or a Challenger 300. This fact alone made the aircraft very appealing to many private jet charter companies around the world. (more…)
Charter the Hawker 750 Private Jet
When it comes to business jets, the Hawker 750 is built like a tank. At $13.3 million (typically equipped), the model costs $2.7 million less than the same-sized but plusher and longer-range Hawker 900XP and about as much as two smaller aircraft from other manufacturers: the $12 million Cessna Citation XLS+ and the $13 million Learjet 60XR. The 750 isn’t as economical as the Citation or as fast as the Learjet. But it trumps both in one important category: cabin size. The Hawker’s passenger cabin is 604 cubic feet, while the Citation’s is 461 and the Lear’s is 453. Headroom is better in the Hawker as well; a six-footer can actually stand almost upright in its trenched center aisle. Passenger seating capacity is nine if you count the belted lavatory seat. Realistically, this is a comfortable airplane for four passengers on a longer trip. (more…)
Registering a Private Jet in the United States
Registering your aircraft in the U.S. is a seemingly minor paperwork item that you may not think about during the process of acquiring your private jet. However, unless done properly, your aircraft may not be legal to operate. (more…)
Breaking Down Private Jet Charter Prices & Quotes
Depending on which private jet business model you use, understanding your charter bill can be an interesting experience. Some private jet companies list the total amount due (popular among brokerage firms), while others itemize every conceivable charge (popular among Operators). The good news is that all charter companies present an estimate before they provide services, which allows a client to understand their quote before moving forward. (more…)
Corporate Aircraft Hangars for Private Jets
Anyone who has owned an airplane knows that finding the right place to keep it is no small task. In fact, the job is likely much more involved than first-time buyers ever imagine when they begin to consider aircraft ownership. Obtaining financing, finding insurance, hiring a crew, arranging maintenance-even redoing the interior and paint job-are likely all high on their list of things to do. But placing a roof over one’s new private jet is often just an afterthought. (more…)
Charter the Nextant 400XT Private Jet
Nextant Aerospace, a Cleveland-based aircraft manufacturer, has recently launched an aircraft modernization retrofit program for its 400XT, which is based off of the Hawker 400XP, arguably the most popular business jet ever produced. (more…)
