Velaire is an air charter broker — we don't own aircraft. Every flight is arranged on an operator holding a current FAA Part 135 certificate and an ARGUS or Wyvern safety rating, matched to your mission by a dedicated broker.
Light jets move the experience upward with greater speed and a more refined cabin, accommodating six to eight passengers. Traveling approximately 1,200 nautical miles with a full passenger load, this category is often a smart fit for those who want jet performance while maintaining a highly disciplined trip budget.
Super-light jets bridge the gap between light and midsize categories, seating six to nine passengers with a real-world range near 1,600 nautical miles once passengers, luggage, and winds are accounted for. With wider cabins and near-midsize comfort at lighter-jet economics, this category is a favorite for flights like Teterboro to Miami or Dallas to Chicago.
Our most-quoted aircraft. The Learjet 60 pairs legendary Learjet speed with a stand-up cabin for seven to nine passengers on real-world flights up to approximately 1,900 nautical miles. It elegantly balances cabin comfort with robust domestic range — highly attractive for routes involving Chicago, Dallas, Miami, or New York.
Super-midsize jets seat eight to ten passengers for journeys up to 4,000 nautical miles. They feature stand-up cabins, stronger nonstop transcontinental capability, and a noticeably more spacious onboard environment. For Los Angeles to New York flying or other coast-to-coast itineraries, this is frequently the category that delivers an ideal blend of reach and premium comfort.
Typical models: Gulfstream G550 · Global 6000 · Falcon 8X
Heavy jets enter the picture when passenger counts of ten to sixteen, heavier baggage needs, or longer route profiles require more interior volume. Flying up to approximately 5,500 nautical miles, this category presents a highly refined solution for extended domestic sectors as well as many prestigious international itineraries.
Typical models: Gulfstream G650 · Global 7500 · Falcon 10X
Ultra-long-range aircraft sit at the pinnacle of the charter market. Seating twelve to nineteen passengers, these remarkable jets are built for nonstop global missions exceeding 6,000 nautical miles.
