UK Private Jet Charter: Aircraft Guide

Aviation Units Table Key

Typical Maximum Seats

The actual number of seats can vary between different aircraft of the same type. Almost all private jets have seats that track backwards and forwards (and most also inwards and outwards), and passengers wanting to make the most of the available legroom would benefit from selecting an aircraft with more seats than required.

Cabin Length

Expressed in feet and inches. If you intend filling all the seats, an idea of the resulting occupancy density can be had by comparing the number of seats to the cabin length. Remember that if seats are unoccupied you can usually move them fore or aft to increase legroom.

For cabin lengths in metres, click the aircraft name or see the Metric units table.

Cabin Height

Expressed in feet and inches. The smaller, more efficient jets are ideal for short European trips but the larger, longer range aircraft have more headroom enabling you to more easily stand up and stretch your legs.

For cabin heights in metres, click the aircraft name or see the Metric units table.

Cabin Width

Expressed in feet and inches. A wider cabin allows even wider seats and also a wider aisle, giving greater ease of movement in the cruise.

For cabin widths in metres, click the aircraft name or see the Metric units table.

Max Range

The approximate maximum range of the aircraft, including landing with a safe reserve of fuel, expressed in nautical miles. It's worth keeping in mind that the actual maximum range will depend on the winds and the number of passengers. Your operator will be able to advise if a particular aircraft type would be suitable for your destination.

For ranges expressed in other units, click the aircraft name or see the Metric units table for kilometres or the Aviation units table for statute miles.

Max Speed

The approximate maximum cruising speed expressed in knots true airspeed. The actual speed over the ground will depend on the direction of the high level wind and its strength.

For speeds expressed in other units, click the aircraft name or see the Metric units table for kilometres an hour or the Imperial units table for miles per hour.

Base Price

The manufacturer's base price converted into Pounds Sterling.

For list prices in other currencies click the aircraft name, or see the Metric units table for Euro or the Aviation units table for US Dollars.
