Light Business Jets
L ight Jets are small and versatile jet aircraft capable of shorter-haul flights of between 1,500m and 2,000 miles...
Lighter jets can generally carry 6-8 passengers in relative comfort, although note that cabins are not stand-up and baggage capacity will be somewhat limited.
A light size jet will set you back anything between $6m and $13m.
