Light jets offer an efficient option for short to medium-haul flights up to 1,500 miles. With cruise speeds around 440 mph, they provide faster point-to-point travel than propeller aircraft. Their ability to utilize smaller airports also expands access compared to airliners.

Light jets feature pressurized cabins for passenger comfort and higher altitude flight. Most models include a private lavatory. However, baggage capacity is limited, often precluding large items like golf clubs or skis.

By combining jet performance with runway flexibility, light jets deliver productive regional transportation. Their combination of versatility, speed and range make them a valuable tool for businesses and individuals needing to connect smaller cities. Though more expensive than turboprops, light jets offer greater productivity with their higher cruise speeds. For flights up to 1,500 miles, light jets bridge the gap between prop planes and high-end corporate jets.
