Gulfstream g650 er
heavy/large cabin jet
Heavy jets sit at the top of business aviation with full stand-up cabins, multiple living zones, 6,000-7,700 nm range, and cruise speeds near Mach 0.85–0.90, typically seating 12–19 passengers. It's the intercontinental tier, nonstop transoceanic capability for long-haul missions.
Super midsize sits above midsize jets with wider stand-up cabins, 3,200-4,000 nm range, and faster cruise speeds in the 480–490 knot range, typically seating 8–10 passengers. It' delivers near-large-cabin comfort and range at meaningfully lower acquisition and operating costs,

Embraer Legacy 450
Midsize jet
The midsize jet is the segment where business aviation becomes a true coast-to-coast tool, balancing cabin comfort and transcontinental range against operating costs well below the heavy/large-cabin tier, making it a staple of corporate flight departments and premium charter fleets.
Cessna Citation jet ii+
light jet
The light jet category, including the Cessna Citation series, and Embraer Phenom 300, sits just above the very light jets, offering larger cabins, 1,500–2,000 nm range, and cruise speeds in the 400-440 knot range, typically seating 6–8 passengers. It's the workhorse tier of private jet travel.
hondajet elite ii
The very light jet (VLJ) category, anchored by the Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet, Embraer Phenom 100, and HondaJet, is the entry rung of the jet world, with small cabins, single-pilot certification, and typically 4-6 passenger seats at the lightest, cheapest end of BizAv jets.
very light jet
The single-engine turboprop category is the entry tier of business aviation. Includes pressurized, cabin-class aircraft on a single PT6A turbine, certified for single-pilot operation, offering jet-like mission capability at a fraction of jet operating cost.

AIRCRAFT LEASING
Aircraft leasing frees up capital you'd otherwise sink into ownership, turning a large upfront purchase into predictable monthly payments while shielding you from the risk of residual value and depreciation. We support leases structures including operating leases, financal leases, or sale-leasebacks.
Aircraft Leasing Partners delivers data-driven fleet planning that helps operators turn reactive capacity decisions into a predetermined, defensible strategy. We model fleet size and makeup, utilization, and operational optimization. We support fleet analysis, utilization modeling, and acquisition planning.
