Which Jets Can You Fly to Gstaad?
The selection of aircraft on all listed routes to Gstaad is pretty wide. If you decide to book a flight via Jettly, you can count on super light and light jets, midsize and super-midsize, but also heavy and ultra-long-haul jets in case you want to host a larger party and have more comfort on the plane.
For short-haul flights, like the one from Geneve or Nice the ideal option are usually light jets, while longer direct flights call for larger aircraft.
Super-Light and Light Jets
In most cases, the most affordable option to fly with is the light jet. These jets have a range of almost 2,800 kilometres, which makes them an economical option for shorter distances.
Light jets can accommodate up to 9 passengers, however, it’s quite common that more affordable models, like Citation CJ 2 or Citation CJ 2+, have even fewer seats, so take this into consideration if travelling with a larger party.
Popular examples of super-light jets are the Citation Excel and Phenom 300. If you decide to travel with Jettly, these are the models that will be at your disposal. Superlight jets offered via Jettly are mostly 9-seaters.
Midsize and Super-Midsize Jets
Midsize and super-midsize jets are a usual choice for distances larger than 4,700 kilometres. Midsize jets can usually accommodate up to 9 passengers, which is more or less the same as light jets. The main advantages of midsize jets to light jets are their range and comfort, as they are usually more spacious and offer more amenities, and can cover larger distances in one go, faster.
Super-midsize jets, on the other hand, are more convenient for larger parties, as they offer up to 16 passenger seats.
On the routes to Gstaad, you will encounter the following models of midsize and super-midsize jets: Citation VII, Citation Latitude, Citation Excel, Hawker 900 XP, and many others.
Heavy and Ultra-Long-Range Jets
Finally, the big guns, heavy and ultra-long-range jets are a good choice if you’re looking for powerful aircraft for very long cross-continental flights. These jets can fly a bit less than 10,000 kilometres without pit stops and can accommodate large parties of approximately 16 passengers.
In the case of cross-continental flights and larger travelling parties, heavy jets and ultra-long-range jets are the most viable option, with a range of 9,656 kilometres. These jets are also equipped with superior comfort and speed. Examples of these planes are the Falcon 7X and Challenger 604.
Some of the remarkable models from this category that you will encounter if you decide to make a booking via Jettly are the Challenger 650 or Falcon 2000 S.
