Aircraft
First Jet does not own or operate aircraft. The five classes below are how the industry talks about size — useful vocabulary if private aviation is new to you. Figures are typical, not guaranteed, and they vary by type, winds, and the operator.
Hourly bands are illustrative retail ranges used only to sketch a ballpark. They are not quotes. Photographs illustrate the class of travel — never a specific tail First Jet holds.
Typical passengers 4–7
Typical range 1,100–1,800 nm
Illustrative hourly $2,800–$4,500
Short hops: city pairs of two to three hours, regional weekends, a tight FBO-to-FBO day.
Cabins are efficient rather than spacious. Baggage is limited. Best when the routing is modest and the party is small.
Typical passengers 6–8
Typical range 1,800–2,400 nm
Illustrative hourly $4,000–$6,200
The working horse of domestic charter: coasts on a good day, most US city pairs without fuss.
Stand-up cabin on many types, a proper lavatory, and enough hold for real luggage. Still not a transoceanic airplane.
Typical passengers 8–10
Typical range 2,800–3,500 nm
Illustrative hourly $5,500–$8,200
Coast-to-coast with reserve, or a quiet hop to the Caribbean or Mexico without stretching the machine.
Often the right answer when midsize range is tight and a heavy jet is more airplane than the trip needs.
Typical passengers 10–14
Typical range 3,500–4,800 nm
Illustrative hourly $8,000–$12,500
Transcontinental with cabin space to work, or near-oceanic legs when the party is larger.
Cabin staff are more common. Operating costs rise quickly. Availability is a function of the operator, not a website fleet list.
Typical passengers 12–16
Typical range 5,500–7,500 nm
Illustrative hourly $12,000–$18,500
True intercontinental work: New York to Europe, the West Coast to Asia, when time and a bed matter.
These are scarce and priced accordingly. A request is the start of a conversation with operators — not a reservation.
Any dollar figures shown on this site are illustrative range estimates only. They are not quotes, not offers, and not confirmed pricing. Confirmed pricing is provided only after a licensed direct air carrier has reviewed the trip.
