Light Jets

 

Light jet charter

Light jets are the most popular choice for private travel in the U.S. They combine speed, comfort and value for groups of up to 7 on trips of about 3 hours. With access to thousands of smaller airports, a light jet gets you closer to where you are going and keeps you away from crowded airline terminals.
