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.
Compared with the super-midsize crowd, the Legacy’s cabin is 60 percent larger, measuring 1,410 cubic feet. It is 43 feet long, 6 feet high on later models (5 feet 10 inches on earlier ones) and 6 feet 11 inches wide with seating for 13, although 10 is more reasonable.
The typical executive cabin features a forward galley and closet; four large executive seats arranged in a facing group sharing two foldout tables; four slightly smaller seats with a conference table and an opposite-facing credenza; and an aft stateroom area with two more large single seats, a foldout table and an opposite-facing divan or couch. The divan is available with a berthing top that slides out to create a comfortable sleeping surface. The six large executive seats have 20-inch-wide seat cushions and 26-inch-wide backs. They recline to 75 degrees, track forward and aft and swivel.
Embraer Legacy 600 Interior
The Legacy’s 240-cubic-foot baggage compartment can hold 1,000 pounds and can be accessed in flight through the roomy 92-cubic-foot lavatory. The lavatory contains a generous wardrobe closet, ideal for in-flight clothes changing.
Payload with full fuel is an impressive 5,291 pounds (passengers and luggage at sea level). But if you want to take advantage of this capability, you should have at least 6,000 feet of runway (more runway and less payload in the mountains where the air is thinner). Fully loaded at takeoff, the Legacy tips the scales at 49,604 pounds. Although slightly slower than the Gulfstream G200, it can fly nonstop from New York to London or Singapore to Tokyo.
In 2005 the 600′s maximum service ceiling was raised from 39,000 to 41,000 feet, improving range and allowing the Legacy to travel above typical airline routes. The maximum landing elevation was increased to 9,500 feet, facilitating trips such as Teterboro, N.J., to Telluride, Colo. Shorter landing distances were approved, down to 2,685 feet. Thanks to the advanced Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics system, the Legacy is a true go-anywhere, all-weather airplane. Recent upgrades to the system include better weather radar reception, heads-up display and an enhanced vision system that facilitates better foul-weather landing capability. Embraer is offering an upgrade to the new Primus Elite system that offers even more capability.

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…)

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).

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 a Private Jet to Saint Martin
Saint Martin is an island in the northeast Caribbean approximately 300 km (186 miles) east of Puerto Rico.

Dating back to 1648, it is one of the smallest islands divided between two nations. The southern Dutch part comprises Saint Maarten and is one of four constituent countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The northern French part comprises the Collectivité de Saint-Martin (Collectivity of St. Martin) and is an overseas collectivity of France. (more…)

Charter the AgustaWestland AW139 Helicopter
The AgustaWestland AW139 is the helicopter of choice for many private jet companies and executives who would prefer not to sit knee-to-knee with their fellow passengers. The $14 million (new) medium twin is bigger and more powerful than an S-76 and smaller and less expensive than an S-92. And with a cruising speed of 165 knots, it is faster than both of them. (more…)
Charter a Private Jet to Minneapolis-St.Paul, Minnesota
This region of Minnesota has the nation’s third-largest system of metropolitan airports. Generally neat, clean and well-maintained, they can take the edge off “ground-pounding” and help make visiting the area an enjoyable experience. Most of these airports are administered under the central Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission. The Commission has drawn up ambitious expansion plans for the reliever airports and some construction has already begun, ensuring that as the region grows, its airports will, too. (more…)
