Business aviation is all about options. When you fly. Where you fly. How you fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Various factors come into play when someone decides what type of aircraft they need; the number of passengers, the destination, and personal preference among other factors. For certain trips and passenger groups, an economical turboprop that can access smaller airstrips is the perfect option. For other charters, the added comfort of a large cabin and a jet that can complete the flight non-stop is preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chart provides a basic overview of various aircraft and their capabilities. Actual speed, passenger load, and range will vary by aircraft and trip.

If you are looking to go on a fishing trip with 10 of your friends and need access to a shorter runway, then a turboprop might be the best option. If you need to fly non-stop from Calgary to Scottsdale for your winter vacation, then light or midsize jets are perfect options. It comes down to your personal preference and the type of trip you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have options when it comes to the aircraft you\u2019ll travel in. You also have options when it comes to how you purchase your business aviation services, each with their own benefits and considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
