After all, you could charter the speediest jet in its class, but if it doesn\u2019t have the legs to reach your chosen destination, you\u2019ll be going nowhere fast!<\/p>\n<p>Here is a class-by-class look at the marathon champions in the jet charter world\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>Turboprop \u2013 Cessna 441 Conquest II<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-59781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Private-jet-charters-range4-640x478.jpg\" alt=\"Private jet charters with the longest range\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" \/><br \/>\nWhile turboprops tend to be utilized by the bizav community for short hops between cities, there are dozens that can achieve ranges in excess of 1,500 nautical miles (nm). Leading the way is the Cessna 441 Conquest II, with a maximum range of 2,194 nm. This becomes even more impressive when you consider that this eight-passenger, twin-engine turboprop first began production in the mid-1970s!<\/p>\n<h2>Light Jet \u2013\u00a0Citation CJ4<\/h2>\n<p>Cessna&#8217;s Citation CJ4 utilizes a pair of\u00a0Williams International FJ44-4A turbofan engines, giving it a\u00a0maximum range of 2,170 nm. It\u00a0requires a minimum takeoff distance of just 3,410 feet, which\u00a0offers tremendous flight planning capabilities for business executives that need to access smaller airports, or ones in more remote locations.<\/p>\n<h2>Midsize Jet \u00ad\u00ad\u2013\u00a0Gulfstream G150<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-59779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Private-jet-charters-range2-640x440.jpg\" alt=\"Private jet charters with the longest range\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" \/><br \/>\nFor the next few categories of private jet charters, you\u2019re going to notice a familiar name: Gulfstream. That\u2019s because they are the masters of designing long-range aircraft that offer a signature blend of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Style<\/li>\n<li>Performance<\/li>\n<li>Comfort<\/li>\n<li>Economy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Up first in the midsize jet class is the Gulfstream G150, which boasts a maximum range of 3,000 nm. As the company claims, it can fly further at a higher cruise speed than any other midsize business jet. What\u2019s more remarkable is that it does this while maintaining one of the lowest overall operating costs compared to its class\u00a0competitors.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Super-midsize \u2013\u00a0Gulfstream G280<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-59780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stratosjets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Private-jet-charters-range3-640x440.jpg\" alt=\"Private jet charters with the longest range\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" \/><br \/>\nThere\u2019s a lot to like about the Gulfstream G280, not the least of which is its 3,600 nm maximum range. It actually flies 200 nm further than Gulfstream\u2019s design team originally intended. How\u2019s that for surpassing expectations?<\/p>\n<h2>Heavy Jet \u2013\u00a0Gulfstream G650ER<\/h2>\n<p>In terms of private jet charters, the Gulfstream G650 is about as good as it gets. Aside from being one of the fastest civilian jets on the market\u2014capable of cruise speeds up to 709 mph\u2014it can fly up to 7,500 nm without stopping.<\/p>\n<p>It is also one of the most technologically advanced aircraft in production today, offering unsurpassed cabin comfort and amenities. No wonder there\u2019s a waitlist for the G650. A number of celebrities are rumored to have purchased a G650, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Warren Buffett<\/li>\n<li>Oprah Winfrey<\/li>\n<li>Ralph Lauren<\/li>\n<li>Sir Peter Jackson<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Charter Airliner \u2013\u00a0Boeing 777-200LR<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to long-range flights on private jet charters, the Boeing 777-200 LR is the granddaddy of them all. They\u2019re not flashy, but these 300-seat aircraft can fly up to 9,395 nm. This gives them the range to handle long-haul trips between:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New York to Auckland<\/li>\n<li>Miami to Taipei<\/li>\n<li>Perth to London<\/li>\n<li>Chicago to Sydney<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aside from range and speed, there are many factors that need to be considered before you charter a jet.
