The aircraft
Aircraft in this class
The 4 midsize jet types we source, longest range first. The hourly figure is the indicative market range for the class, $3,500–$6,000, not a rate for a specific tail.
Hawker
Hawker 800XP
One of the widest midsize cabins ever built, and consistently good value on the charter market.
Learjet
Learjet 60XR
A fast midsize jet that climbs high and quickly — the Learjet name still means speed.
Cessna
Cessna Citation XLS+
Probably the most‑chartered midsize jet in North America: near stand‑up comfort with light‑jet airport access.
The mission
When this cabin is the right call.
Stand-up cabin comfort, mid-range trips. With roughly 7–8 seats and 2,000+ 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
- Near stand-up comfort with light-jet airport access
- Comfortable for three- to four-hour legs
- Generous baggage for the size
Where it doesn't
- Most midsize cabins are still a slight stoop
- Coast-to-coast usually needs a stop westbound
We publish the drawbacks because you will meet them anyway, and it is better to hear them now than at the airport.

Range in practice
