With such a variety of private jet options available, we are often asked which ones are the most popular among clients. The reality is all models of jets are different. There aren’t any that are necessarily better than others. Different models support different types of missions in different ways. You will find that specifications and configuration can even differ within the same jet model depending on owner preferences. We have found the jets outlined below have always been popular among private flyers. Remember, however, to keep the following in mind when choosing a particular jet model for your trip:

• How many passengers will you be traveling with?
• Will you have any pets with you on your private jet?
• How much baggage will you and your passengers be traveling with?
• Which is more important to you in a private jet, speed or cabin room?
