Every charter decision starts with the same question, asked in the wrong order: people pick a jet before they've worked out what the trip actually needs.
Range and passenger count decide the category. Everything else — cabin finish, galley, Wi-Fi — is a preference layered on top. Get the category right and the rest becomes a much shorter conversation.
Very Light & Light Jets
Best for short regional hops with 4–8 passengers — Mumbai to Goa, Delhi to a nearby business city. Fast to position, efficient on fuel, and the first category to become unnecessarily cramped on anything over two hours.
Midsize & Super-Midsize
The most requested tier for a reason: standing headroom, a proper galley, and enough range for most domestic and short-international routes without paying for capability you won't use.
The category that's "almost right" for your route is usually the wrong one — undersized aircraft on long legs cost more in fuel stops than the upgrade would have.
Heavy & Ultra-Long-Range
Once a route crosses continents — Mumbai to London, Dubai to New York — range stops being optional. Ultra-long-range aircraft fly these nonstop; heavy jets often need a technical stop, which adds time your itinerary may not have.
| Category | Typical Seats | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Light Jet | 6–8 | ~2,000 NM |
| Super-Midsize | 8–10 | ~3,400 NM |
| Heavy Jet | 10–16 | ~4,500 NM |
| Ultra-Long-Range | 12–19 | ~7,500 NM |

VIP Airliners
Reserved for large groups, extended stays, or when the aircraft itself needs to double as a mobile office — film units, sports teams, and government-adjacent movements are the most common bookings here.
The short version: match the category to the route and passenger count first, then let preference decide the rest. It's the difference between a charter that feels effortless and one that feels like a compromise.
