Buying a Long Range Corporate / Private Business Jet
| Long range business jets are heavy aircraft which are able to fly over inter-continental routes. They can take up to 19 passengers in great comfort served by flight attendants. They will set you back between $40 million and $70 million and can be fitted to your own specifications. |
The following is a list of the larger business jets available for sale in the aviation marketplace and suitable for long range inter-continental travel.
