How to choose an Aircraft to Charter
The first three questions that need to be answered when selecting an aircraft for charter are 1. How many passengers will be traveling 2. How far are you going and 3. How much baggage will you have? Probably The next most important is budget. There is often a trade-off when selecting charter aircraft. Most trips less than 500 miles are best served economically by turbo props. Trips over 600 miles are almost always better served by jets.
Turbo Prop (4-30 Passengers)
Turboprop aircraft combine the low-cost advantages of the piston aircraft while sharing some of the performance and cabin comfort advantages of light jets. Turboprops are powered by turbine (jet) engines which turn a propeller. With average cruising speeds of over 250 mph and an average nonstop range above 800 miles, a turboprop can travel further, faster and offer more comfort than piston aircraft while keeping charter costs below those of jet aircraft. Popular for short to mid-range flights, (100-500 miles) turboprops can access runways that are often too short for jet aircraft. Turbo-props often include amenities such as pressurized passenger cabins for added comfort, safety and performance and a semi-private lavatory.
Light Jets (4-8 Passengers)
Light jets are the entry-level jet class in the charter industry. Light jets are the most economical choice for short to mid-range trips. Light jets can travel further and faster than non-jet aircraft while operating in and out of airports not accessible by the major airlines. Trips of between 400-1000 miles are perfect for light jets. Light jets have limited baggage capacity.
Mid Sized Jets (5-9 Passengers)
Midsize Jet aircraft optimally blend comfort, performance and economy for medium length flights. With average cruising speeds over 500 mph and a nonstop range of about 2,100 miles, a midsize jet can travel further, faster and with more comfort then light jets while operating in and out of airports not accessible by the major airlines. Most of the midsize jet aircraft have external baggage storage and accommodate a reasonable amount of baggage. Most midsize jets offer a private lavatory.
Jet Airliners (20-200+ Passengers)
Can meet any size group needs and can travel to any destination. While expensive and priced according to mission, if you have a lot of people, they can be cost effective.
