Which Jets Can You Fly to Prague?

You can fly any type of jet on the routes to Prague listed in this article, as long as they can cross the distance between the two cities.

Usually, turboprops or light jets are the most affordable options, but on some long-haul flights, larger jets can become more profitable. Flights from Riga, Bucharest, and Lisbon favour light jets over turboprops, while the flight to The Big Apple favours heavy jets over midsize jets.

Before choosing your jet, you should consider the distance that you need to cross, along with the number of people going with you, how fast you want to get there, and which level of comfort you’d prefer.

Turboprops

Turboprops are often among the most affordable option, and very convenient for short-haul flights. Powered by a turbine engine, they are also the slowest type of aircraft. Their range is usually somewhere around 2,400 kilometres, although the exact number varies from one model to another. The same applies to the number of seats.

Turboprops achieve their highest efficiency when they fly a bit faster than 700 kilometres per hour, or at 390 knots.

Turboprop models you will encounter if you decide to book your flight via Jet The World are the following:

King Air 350 with 11 seats
King Air B200 with up to 13 seats
Pilatus PC-12 with 9 seats
Sikorsky S-76 with 6 seats

Light Jets

On all short-haul routes to Prague, light jets represent the most affordable option. Their range is somewhat longer than the range of turboprops, usually around 2,800 kilometres, although the numbers vary here as well.

However, they are faster, with an average cruising speed of 400 knots, and provide more comfort and amenities inside.

The number of people they can accommodate is usually between 7 and 9.

Here are the models you will encounter on the routes to Prague if you book your charter via Jet The World:

Learjet 35 with 8 seats
Hawker 400 XP with 8 seats
Citation V with 7 seats
Citation Ultra with 7 seats
Citation Encore with 7 seats
Citation CJ 3 wit 7 seats
Citation Bravo with 7 seats

Midsize and Super-Midsize Jets

When it comes to long-haul flights that go above 4,000 kilometres, midsize jets are the way to go. They are also faster, with an average cruising speed of 450 knots.

Midsize jets available at Jet The World can take up to 8 passengers, but super-midsize jets can accommodate up to 16, making them a perfect choice for larger travelling parties.

Besides speed, range, and size, midsize, and super-midsize jets usually offer more amenities, as passengers usually choose them for longer flights, so naturally, they want more comfort.

Some of the models you will encounter on this route:

Challenger 300 with 16 seats
Challenger 350 with 10 seats
Citation Sovereign with 9 seats
Learjet 55 with 7 seats
Learjet 60 with 8 seats
Hawker 900 with 7 seats
Citation VII with 7 seats

Heavy Jets

When it comes to long-haul flights, heavy jets are the way to go. They are the most comfortable, offer the most amenities, can take the most passenger on board (in some cases up to 56!), and have the longest range that goes above 10,000 kilometres. Their average cruising speed is 500 knots or more.

Some of the models you will encounter if you book your flight via Jet The World are:

Conclusion

Whichever route in the world you want to cross, private jet charters make it easy and convenient. No airport lines, no wasting time – the aircraft of your choice will wait for you whenever you need it.

Different charter companies and FBOs offer different amenities, such as pet accessibility, catering, bathrooms, internet, etc.

If you plan a cross-continental flight to Prague, we recommend taking into account the number of hours you will spend in the air, and choosing a type of jet that will give you the comfort you need during your travels.
