Private jet range map: how far can a private jet fly?
Pick a departure city and a jet size to see how far a private jet flies without a fuel stop. Ranges run from about 1,200 miles in a very light jet to 7,000 in the largest long range jets.
Private jet range map
Choose where you start and the size of jet. The shaded area shows where it can fly nonstop, and the dark dots are destinations inside that range.
Drag the map to move it. Zoom with the mouse wheel, the buttons or two fingers.
From London, a light jet flies about 1,950 miles nonstop and reaches 20 of our 51 other destinations without a fuel stop. The farthest are Mykonos, Malaga, Rome, Sardinia.
The map uses typical nonstop range with passengers, bags and fuel reserves, reduced for real routing. Your advisor confirms the exact figure with the operator for your date.
Private jet range by size
Private jet range grows with size, and so does the hourly price. This table shows the typical nonstop range of each class and how far it reaches from London and New York.
Ranges are in a straight line after a routing allowance. The examples are the farthest cities on our list each jet reaches without a stop.
| Jet size | Range | Seats | Farthest from London | Farthest from New York |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turboprop | 1,600 miles | 8 | Mykonos, Malaga | Cancun, Austin |
| Very light jet | 1,200 miles | 5 | Malaga, Rome | Nassau, Miami |
| Light jet | 1,950 miles | 7 | Mykonos, Malaga | Jackson Hole, Aspen |
| Midsize jet | 2,450 miles | 9 | Mykonos, Malaga | Los Angeles, San Diego |
| Super midsize jet | 3,450 miles | 10 | Dubai, New York | London, San Francisco |
| Heavy jet | 4,300 miles | 14 | Atlanta, St Barts | Rome, Vienna |
| Ultra long range jet | 7,000 miles | 16 | Cabo, San Diego | Dubai, Doha |
Need more range than the jet you like? A fuel stop of about 45 minutes is often cheaper than moving up a size. We price both when it makes sense.
Longest range private jets
The longest range private jets link almost any two cities on earth nonstop. These are the models with the most range among the aircraft we charter.
Range here is the published figure in nautical miles with typical passengers. Real trips use a margin for wind and reserves.
| Aircraft | Size | Range | Seats | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bombardier Global 7500 | Ultra long range jet | 7,700 nm | 16 | $15,000 to $19,000 |
| Gulfstream G650ER | Ultra long range jet | 7,500 nm | 16 | $14,000 to $18,500 |
| Dassault Falcon 8X | Ultra long range jet | 6,450 nm | 14 | $13,000 to $16,500 |
| Bombardier Global 6000 | Ultra long range jet | 6,000 nm | 14 | $13,000 to $16,500 |
| Dassault Falcon 900LX | Heavy jet | 4,750 nm | 12 | $10,000 to $13,000 |
| Gulfstream G450 | Heavy jet | 4,350 nm | 14 | $10,000 to $13,500 |
The newest Gulfstream G800 and Bombardier Global 8000 push range to about 8,000 nautical miles. As more join charter fleets, we add them to quotes.
What cuts private jet range on the day
Published range is a best case. Four things shorten it on real flights.
- Headwinds, especially westbound over the Atlantic in winter
- A full cabin and heavy bags such as skis and golf clubs
- Hot weather or high altitude airports like Aspen
- Fuel reserves for an alternate airport
This is why a jet that flies New York to London nonstop may need a stop on the way back. Westbound, it flies into the jet stream.
How far can a private jet fly without stopping?
Roughly, the bigger the cabin, the longer the nonstop range. There are exceptions worth knowing.
Some super midsize jets, such as the Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280, fly further than older heavy jets. The Falcon 8X lands at short runways that other long range jets avoid.
So the right aircraft is not always the biggest one. It is the smallest that flies your route nonstop on your day, with your group and bags.
Private jet range comparison and trip planning
Range decides more than the route. It sets which aircraft you can choose, whether you stop and how much the trip costs.
Short range: up to two hours
Very light and light jets cover most trips within Europe and between nearby US cities. London to Geneva, Paris to Nice, New York to Palm Beach. They are the cheapest jets per hour.
Medium range: coast to coast
Super midsize jets cross the US nonstop and reach the Gulf from most of Europe. They are the usual choice for four to eight hour trips with a full cabin.
Long range private jets
Heavy and ultra long range jets cross oceans. London to New York, Dubai to London or Los Angeles to Tokyo are typical. Some fly 14 hours or more without a stop.
Range vs price
You pay for range only when you use it. A heavy jet on a one hour flight costs far more than a light jet doing the same trip.
- Pick the smallest jet that flies nonstop
- Accept a short fuel stop on long trips
- Ask us to compare both options
Tell us your route, your group and your bags. An advisor will check real range for your date and send the aircraft that fit, usually within 30 minutes.
Private jet range questions
Quick answers on how far private jets fly and when a fuel stop makes sense. Real range depends on the day, so your advisor checks every trip.
How far can a private jet fly?
It depends on the size. A very light jet covers about 1,200 miles nonstop, a light jet about 1,950 and a super midsize jet about 3,450. The largest long range jets fly 7,000 miles or more.
What private jet has the longest range?
Among jets on the charter market, the Bombardier Global 7500 leads at about 7,700 nautical miles. The newer Gulfstream G800 and Bombardier Global 8000 are rated near 8,000 nautical miles, but few are available for charter yet.
How far can a private jet fly without refueling?
The figures on this page are nonstop ranges with typical passengers and bags and legal fuel reserves. Strong headwinds, a full cabin or a hot, high airport can cut them by 10 to 20 percent.
Can a private jet fly across the Atlantic?
Yes. Super midsize jets cross on the shorter routes, such as New York to western Europe eastbound. Heavy and long range jets fly London to New York nonstop in both directions.
Is a fuel stop a problem?
Not usually. A stop adds about 45 minutes and can make a smaller, cheaper jet possible. On some routes it saves more than it costs.
