Midsize & Super-Midsize Jet Charter

Midsize jets are the workhorse of private aviation: fast enough for a same-day round trip, spacious enough for a real workday in the air, and priced well below heavy jets for the routes most travelers actually fly.

This category spans from true midsize aircraft, built for 3-hour regional hops, up to super-midsize models capable of nonstop coast-to-coast or transatlantic missions. Below, compare every midsize and super-midsize jet in our network, see typical hourly pricing, and request an instant quote for your route.

What Defines a Midsize Jet?

A midsize jet is a private aircraft that bridges light jets and heavy jets, typically offering 1,900 to 4,000+ nautical miles of range, seating for 6 to 10 passengers, and a stand-up cabin with an enclosed lavatory.

Midsize jets are the most commonly chartered class in the U.S. private aviation market, capable of coast-to-coast flights, most transatlantic routes, and short-notice regional trips, all at a lower hourly rate than a heavy jet.

Who Charters a Midsize Jet?

• Business travelers making regional or coast-to-coast trips without connecting through a hub
• Small families or groups of 4–8 flying to a second home, ski resort, or coastal destination
• Deal teams covering 2–3 cities in a single day on a fixed schedule
• Frequent flyers who need the range of a heavy jet on select trips but don’t want to pay for it on every flight

Midsize vs. Super-Midsize Jet: What’s the Difference?

The difference is range and cabin size, not luxury level:

• A midsize jet, such as the Citation XLS+ or Hawker 800X, typically covers 1,900 to 3,000 nautical miles; enough for New York to Miami or a full coast-to-coast hop with a fuel stop, but not built for nonstop transcontinental or transatlantic missions as standard.
• A super-midsize jet, such as the Citation Sovereign, Praetor 600, or Challenger 3500, adds a larger cabin, a full galley, and 2,900 to 4,018 nautical miles of range, enough to fly Los Angeles to Honolulu or New York to London nonstop.

If your trip regularly crosses the country or an ocean, a super-midsize jet is the better fit; for regional and short-international routes, a true midsize jet delivers the same comfort at a lower hourly rate.
