Light jets, also known as very light jets (VLJs), are the compact and economical option in the world of private jets. Here’s a quick overview:

• Size: Think small group travel – they seat 4-7 passengers comfortably.
• Range: Perfect for regional travel, offering 1,500-2,000 nautical miles (think across a few states or neighboring European countries).
• Speed: They get you there efficiently, cruising at around 400-450 mph.
• Comfort: Basic amenities are on board, like a small galley and lavatory, with some offering in-flight luggage access.

The Perks of Light Jets

• Cost-effective: Compared to bigger jets, light jets are much cheaper to operate, thanks to their size and fuel efficiency.
• Accessibility: They can land at more airports, including those closer to your destination, avoiding large commercial hubs.
• Convenience: Ideal for shorter trips, skipping layovers and commercial airline hassles.
