Why are business jets so expensive?

Firstly, private jet costs are down to the year of aircraft release and the manufacturer – the newer and better the aircraft, the more expensive it is. Also, one of the key pricing factors is aircraft class. Private jets can be divided into the following groups:

• Turboprop. Compared to jet aircraft, they develop a low cruising speed and are limited in-flight range. Therefore, the cost of renting such aircraft is the most affordable, which makes them very popular for flights over short distances.
• Ultralight and light reactive. The cost of their rental is slightly higher compared to turboprop executive jets.
• Medium and mid-range. They represent the optimal combination of cost, comfort, and flight characteristics, so renting business jets in this category is in great demand.
• Large and long-range. The cost of their rental is the highest since their maintenance and service are much more expensive compared to other classes of aircraft.

Other factors contributing to high rental costs include:

• The number of hours an aircraft spends in flight.
• Fuel consumption. A business jet consumes about a ton of fuel per hour. The cost depends on the type and grade of jet fuel and its cost in a particular country.
• Airport service. Top professional assistance of specialists significantly speeds up the passage of private jet procedures in airports.
• Fuselage treatment with anti-icing composition.
• Additional customer requirements. For example, general cleaning of the salon or its special design – due to this, the payment also increases.

Fastest business jets of 2022

There are quite a few fast business jets, but the fastest are the Cessna Citation X+, Gulfstream G650ER, and Global 7500. Their unrivaled construction and design allow you to unleash the speed to the fullest. Let’s find out what innovations each of these jet models have. Remember that each aircraft is available on our Charter Jets, Inc. website for rent.

Cessna Citation X+

Today, it is considered the fastest private jet in the world. The US Federal Aviation Administration registered a speed of Mach 0.935 or 993 km/h. This American business jet manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company has a maximum range of 6410 km. The aircraft can accommodate up to 12 passengers and a crew of 2 people.

It is the world’s fastest corporate jet and has come close to breaking the sound barrier, with a cruising speed of just under 1,000 km/h. The Cessna Citation X has become one of the most economical aircraft thanks to Rolls-Royce engines and remarkable aerodynamics.

Gulfstream G650ER

This executive jet holds the record for the fastest flight in the history of business aviation. On March 29, 2019, the G650ER flew from Singapore to Tucson, Arizona, and traveled 15,518 kilometers at an average speed of 985 km/h in 15 hours and 23 minutes. The Gulfstream G650ER has a top speed of Mach 0.925 and an amazing range of 13,900 km. This Gulfstream model is capable of carrying from 11 to 18 passengers.

With speed, grace, style, and comfort, the Gulfstream G650ER is everything you need in a long-range aircraft. The aircraft’s high top speed makes it the fastest long-range private jet. Thus, the G650ER flies farther and faster than any other aircraft in its class.

Global 7500

With a top speed of 982 km/h, the Global 7500 is among the fastest private jets available on the business jet market today. This private jet model is equipped with General Electric Passport engines and has an impressive flight range of 14,260 km.

The Global 7500 can fly from the coast of Los Angeles to the coast of New York in less than 4 hours! The state-of-the-art cabin accommodates up to 19 passengers and is divided into four separate areas, offering ample space to relax and unwind or negotiate.

Thanks to Bombardier’s latest advances in the Global 7500, all flight characteristics have been improved, including a reduction in takeoff distance to 1768 m. The manufacturer claims that this corporate jet requires one of the shortest takeoff distances (1770 m) compared to competing for executive jets. The aircraft is equipped with Passport engines manufactured by GE Aviation with a thrust of 8.5 tons.

Our selection of the top 3 best business jets

Among the best business jets are the Dassault Falcon 7X, Gulfstream G500, and Embraer Legacy 500. These top aircraft combine excellent speed and functionality with increased comfort. We will consider these models in more detail below. We also recommend that you pay attention to the table with technical characteristics to choose the most suitable option.

Dassault Falcon 7X

A distinctive feature of this business jet with three engines is a shortened takeoff and landing run, which significantly expands the geography of flights, allowing the use of small airports – for example, on tropical islands. This aircraft model is owned by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

The Falcon 7X is a business-class aircraft of the French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation. The Dassault Falcon 7X is the first corporate jet with a digital flight control system. The curved wing profile gives the aircraft incredible power and high flight speed. The Falcon 7X is the aircraft manufacturer’s most successful business jet, meeting the most demanding requirements with its comfortable equipment and excellent onboard service.

Aircraft features:

• Spacious interior
• Intercontinental flight range
• Modern acoustic technology
• Separate washroom

The comfortable cabin of the French corporate jet is divided into three separate compartments, which can accommodate up to 14 persons. For the comfort and relaxation of passengers on board, a progressive cabin pressure control system and the latest acoustic technology, as well as comfortable seats, are provided. A built-in washroom, as well as a living area with a kitchen, will provide a significant amount of comfort while traveling only Falcon 7X aircraft.

Gulfstream G500

The American business jet is one of the fastest corporate jets in its class, as its maximum speed reaches 1140 km/h. The comfortable cabin, equipped with a four-zone climate system, can accommodate up to 19 passengers, who during the flight have access to satellite communications, fax, and high-speed Internet for work and leisure. Infrared aviation equipment allows takeoffs and landings in conditions of poor visibility.

The Gulfstream G500 is the latest executive jet from Gulfstream Aerospace. The first commissioning took place in 2014. With a high flight range of up to 11,480 km, this aircraft is capable of non-stop flights from Germany to Central America or the Far East.

Aircraft features:

• Very high range
• Ground speed above average
• Spacious lounge with all amenities
• Passenger comfort is taken care of by up to 2 flight attendants

The Gulfstream G500 can even fly to altitudes of over 15,000m. This is an altitude where only a minimal number of VIP aircraft can fly – only the likes of the Gulfstream G500. Being able to fly this high has the advantage of reaching your destination even faster. The business jet’s best luxurious equipment and superb noise-canceling cabin make flying more like soaring above the clouds, while the environment is completely relaxing, so you can safely prepare for an important meeting, for example.

Embraer Legacy 500

This is a medium-sized aircraft designed for short-haul flights and is often used for flights within the country or neighboring countries. This model is trendy because the Embraer Legacy 500 is not inferior in terms of efficiency, comfort, and modernity, even to expensive liners. It is spacious and is the only model in its class that allows you to stand up to your full height.

Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer introduced the Legacy 500 aircraft in 2011 and entered service in 2014. The corporate jet, partly produced in Portugal with the participation of the European Aerospace and Defense Group, is a very modern aircraft with a passenger capacity of 12 people and a flight range of about 5,600 km.

Aircraft features:

• Suitable for long-distance flights
• Light metal fuselage
• The latest electronic equipment
• Above-average flight altitude

Elegance and modernity are inherent in this executive jet, both outside and inside. A state-of-the-art cockpit and passenger compartment would be perfect as a reception hall for senior management. Luxurious armchairs, noble finishes on the partitions, and a pleasantly soft carpeted floor make even long flights, for example, from Cologne to Dubai, a real pleasure.
