VLJ
Very light jet category for short-haul flights. Range up to 1,200 nm, capacity for 6 passengers, coordinated end to end.
- Cruise speed in this category reaches up to 420 knots, making it efficient for flights under two hours.
- Most aircraft operate with a single pilot and have limited or no enclosed lavatory, which is standard for this class and not a limitation specific to one model.
- Baggage space is reduced compared to larger categories.
- Smaller regional airports and shorter runways are accessible on both ends of the route, which can reduce ground transfer time depending on the destination.
Very light jets are the fastest entry point into private aviation. Built for short, fast routes, they prioritize speed and airport access over cabin size, making them the right fit for trips where time matters more than space.
The category includes aircraft such as the Cessna Citation M2, Embraer Phenom 100, HondaJet HA-420, and Cirrus Vision SF50. Seating runs between 4 and 6 passengers, with a maximum range between 1,000 and 1,200 nm depending on the model. The figures listed reflect the upper end of the category and are used for filtering purposes; the specific aircraft assigned to a trip depends on route, group size, and availability at the time of booking.
Global Reservations matches route, group size, and timing to the right aircraft within this category. Ground transfers on both ends of the trip, scheduling, and light catering or beverage service within the limits of the aircraft's galley can be arranged on request. Coordination with the operator is handled end to end, with a single point of contact throughout.
