Very Light Jet (VLJ)
A Very Light Jet (VLJ) is a type of private jet that offers a range of 2 hours and a seating capacity of 4-5 passengers. They are cheaper to run than their standard private jet counterparts, making them a more cost effective choice for short-haul journeys. They can also use smaller runways. However, there is limited cabin space and baggage capacity is often restricted on these types of jets.
VLJ examples: Citation Mustang, Citation M2, Phenom 100
Light Jet
Light jets are a popular option within the private jet market because they offer a range of 2.5 hours, seating for up to 8 passengers, and the ability to land at smaller airports.
The light jet has been a popular choice since the launch of the business jet market about 50 years ago.
Light Jet examples: Citation CJ2/CJ3/CJ4, Citation Bravo, Learjet 40, Premier 1
You may have also heard of super light jets. But what is a super light jet, and why should you consider one for your next trip?
Super light jets offer even more cabin and luggage space than a light jet. They're a popular choice for passengers who want to get from point A to point B in the fastest, most comfortable way possible. With a flight range of up to 4.5 hours, super light jets enable non-stop flights between cities such as Paris and Moscow.

Midsize Jet
The midsize jet category is ideal for longer range travel or for travel with larger passenger capacity requirements. With seating for up to 10 passengers and a flight range of up to 5 hours, it makes it an ideal choice for longer range travel or for travel with larger passenger capacity requirements. A pressurized cabin makes at-altitude travel comfortable; all models have a lavatory and some models are WI-FI enabled, making in-flight work possible.
A sleeker, more comfortable stand-up cabin makes it more spacious than the larger models, while still maintaining the same high level of comfort.
