The aircraft
Aircraft in this class
The 5 heavy jet types we source, longest range first. The hourly figure is the indicative market range for the class, $7,000–$13,000, not a rate for a specific tail.
Dassault
Dassault Falcon 900LX
The three‑engine Falcon — unusually short‑field capable for a heavy jet, and famously efficient.
Gulfstream
Gulfstream G450
A long‑serving heavy jet with three cabin zones and the range for most transatlantic city pairs.
Dassault
Dassault Falcon 2000LXS
A wide‑cabin heavy jet that lands in under 4,700 ft — rare access for this much aircraft.
Cessna
Cessna Citation X+
The fastest civilian aircraft in production for years — genuinely time‑saving on long domestic legs.
The mission
When this cabin is the right call.
Intercontinental range, full-service cabin. With roughly 10–14 seats and 4,000+ nm of range, this category suits trips where cabin size and runway performance both matter.
We don't own aircraft, so there's no incentive to push you up or down a category. If a smaller cabin does your trip for less, we'll say so — and if this one is being stretched to its limits, we'll say that too.
Where it excels
- Multiple cabin zones and a full galley
- Cabin attendant standard on most operators
- Transatlantic range with a full cabin
Where it doesn't
- Runway requirement rules out many smaller fields
- Higher fuel burn and handling costs
We publish the drawbacks because you will meet them anyway, and it is better to hear them now than at the airport.

Category-typical figures based on the representative types above. Individual aircraft vary with model year, interior layout and installed options — and runway requirements move significantly with altitude, temperature and weight. The operator's own performance data governs every trip.
Range in practice
Routes a heavy jet flies
Distances are great-circle figures; times are computed from a ~480 kts cruise plus taxi allowance, and move with winds and routing.
