Most companies who offer jet charter services either own, or have access to a very broad range of private jet airplanes. There are over 2000 jets operating in Europe at this time so whether you require a executive jet, a corporate jet, a business jet charter or even your own private airplane the majority of charter jet service providers will be able to meet (and probably exceed) your specific needs and requirements. Private jets can offer flight options for between 1 and 500+ passengers and present the user with very few limitations.

The most famous executive jet, is probably the LearJet, as it has been made famous by celebrities such as John Travolta, Bill Gates and Alan Sugar. However, there are very few limitations if you want to venture into the world of private jet charter and the LearJet is just one of the many options available.

Below are some of the alternatives available through most private jet charter companies:

Propeller Planes:
These small planes are, as you would imagine, powered by propellers and whilst they are still able to offer the levels of comfort you would expect they can be more cost effective than a jet powered alternative. Due to their ability to utilise a larger number of airports and airfields that would be inaccessible to jet powered planes they offer a great flexibility. They are often utilised for short range trips yet can have a non-stop range of over 1,000 miles.
Planes that could be chartered in this class include: Pilatus PC-12, King Air 90-300, the Merl Starship and various lower range Cheyenne models.

Light Jet Option:
The LearJet 35 is probably the best known private airplane in the Light Jet category and is very popular in the charter industry. Obviously the jet propulsion offers a faster alternative to the propeller planes and still allows an impressive accessibility to airports not able to be serviced by the major airlines. Within an executive jet package you would be able to travel non stop for about 1500 miles reaching an average cruising speed of 440 mph.
Also available for Executive charter: Citation II, Beechjet 4, Falcon 10.

Medium Size Corporate and Executive Jets:
As the size of the jets increases there is a proportional rise in the quality of the package available to the executive and corporate jet user. Some of the aircraft within this size class can offer a range of nearly 2,600 miles, travelling in luxury at over 500mph. This size of private airplane can subsequently offer an increased amount of space for baggage.

Large Jets:
These optimum performance jets are the top of the range and offer the most exclusive and luxurious packages available to business jet charter customers. With an impressive range of over 4,000 miles these executive jets really do offer a world of opportunity to the charter planes industry. As you would expect at the top end of the industry, some executive jet charter companies can offer the additional services of a flight attendant to help increase your levels of professionalism and/or comfort.
Top of the Range private jet airplanes include: The Falcon 900/2000 and Challenger 600/601/604.

Private ‘Commercial’ Airplanes:
It is a little known fact that many commercial type airliners are available through aircraft charter companies. The internal facilities of the plane can be ‘made to measure’ and can accommodate the specific needs of the client. This type of private airplane can be utilised for ‘Regional’ journeys whilst the larger airliners can of course work up to the limits of their considerable mileage range.
The more familiar names for these Big charter planes include: Boeing 727, Airbus 300
