Ultra Long Range Jet Charter
The ultra long range jet is the aircraft you charter when the trip cannot be broken. It carries twelve to sixteen in a cabin you can sleep, shower and work in, and it crosses oceans without stopping. For a European brokerage, it is the class that opens the routes nothing smaller can fly nonstop — London to New York, Geneva to Dubai, Singapore or London to Los Angeles in a single leg. It is the flagship cabin in our fleet for private jet charter across Europe and beyond.
We arrange these aircraft through certified operators. We do not operate them ourselves — which means we recommend the right tail for your route rather than the one we happen to own.
At a glance
- Passengers: 12–16
- Range: 6,000–8,000 nm (roughly 13–16 hours)
- Cruise: 560–600 mph
- Cabin: full stand-up cabin in multiple zones, with a private bedroom and a shower on the largest tails
What an ultra long range jet is
An ultra long range jet is the top of the conventional business-aviation fleet — above the heavy jet, below a converted airliner. It takes the range and cabin of a heavy jet and extends both: more zones, a genuine bedroom, and the fuel to fly intercontinental sectors nonstop that a heavy jet would have to break with a stop.
In practice it means a cabin laid out in distinct rooms — a forward club, a dining or conference zone, an aft lounge that converts to a stateroom — and the range to land on the far side of an ocean without touching down on the way.
Range — what it clears across Europe
This is where the class earns its place, and it is our clearest wedge. From a hub like London or Geneva, an ultra long range jet flies nonstop to the destinations every other cabin has to stop for. New York, Los Angeles, Dubai and Singapore are all within a single leg. These are the routes a heavy jet cannot complete without a fuel stop, and the reason clients move up to this class.
The longest-range tails — the Gulfstream G650ER and the Bombardier Global 7500 — sit at the current ceiling of what business aviation produces, with usable range beyond 7,000 nautical miles. For a fourteen-hour sector with a full cabin and headwinds, that margin is what turns a planned nonstop into a real one. We will tell you plainly when a route needs it and when a heavy jet will do.
Cabin and comfort
The cabin is built for the time you spend in it. Across a long-haul leg the difference is a real bed rather than a flat seat, a separate dining zone, and a lavatory you can stand and change in. On the largest tails that extends to a private master suite and an in-flight shower.
The cabin is divided into zones so a party can work, dine and sleep at once rather than in sequence. Baggage capacity is sized for long international itineraries with a full passenger load, and the cabin altitude and noise levels on this class are the lowest in private aviation — which is what arriving rested after a fourteen-hour flight actually depends on.
The aircraft we charter
We hold access to the ultra long range class through our operator network. These are the tails we arrange most often.
| Aircraft | Passengers | Range (nm) | Notable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gulfstream G650ER | 12–16 | ~7,500 | The benchmark — nonstop range with a quiet, wide cabin |
| Bombardier Global 7500 | 12–16 | ~7,700 | Four cabin zones with a full master suite; longest legs in the class |
| Bombardier Global 6000 | 12–14 | ~6,000 | Three-zone cabin; the value end of ultra long range |
| Dassault Falcon 8X | 12–16 | ~6,450 | Trijet efficiency and short-field access into tighter airports |
Ranges are representative, with reserves, and vary with payload and winds. See our full fleet for every cabin class.
What drives the price
The ultra long range jet sits above a heavy jet and below a VIP airliner on running cost, and on intercontinental legs crew, fuel and landing fees carry real weight. What you pay for a specific trip moves with the aircraft, the routing and repositioning, which is why a quote, not a rate card, is the honest answer.

Is an ultra long range jet right for your trip
It is the right aircraft when you are flying:
- Intercontinental nonstop — Europe to the US west coast, the Gulf, or Asia in a single leg
- Twelve to sixteen passengers who need to arrive rested and ready to work
- A trip where a fuel stop is not acceptable — on time, on discretion, or on schedule
- Long enough to need a real bed, a separate dining zone, and on the largest tails a shower
If your route is within Europe, North Africa or the near Middle East, a heavy jet will fly it nonstop for less. If you are moving a larger group or want an airliner-scale cabin, a VIP airliner is the next step up. To see where this class sits among the rest, compare the private jet types we charter. We will match the aircraft to the trip — not the other way round.

Frequently asked questions
How many passengers fit on an ultra long range jet?
Typically twelve to sixteen, in a multi-zone stand-up cabin. The largest tails can sleep up to ten and seat more for shorter sectors, but twelve to sixteen seated comfortably with full baggage is the realistic planning figure for a long-haul trip.
How far can an ultra long range jet fly nonstop?
Most cover 6,000 to 8,000 nautical miles — roughly 13 to 16 hours. From Europe that means New York, Los Angeles, Dubai and Singapore in a single leg, without the fuel stop a heavy jet would need.
What does it cost to charter an ultra long range jet?
There is no rate card. The figure for a specific trip depends on the tail, routing, repositioning and international fees, so we quote each trip individually. Tell us your route and an advisor replies with clear options.
Ultra long range vs heavy jet — what is the difference?
A heavy jet clears most of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East nonstop. An ultra long range jet adds the intercontinental legs — transatlantic and transpacific nonstop — plus a longer multi-zone cabin and, on the largest tails, a bedroom and shower. The premium is justified by the route, not the badge.
Which ultra long range jet is best?
There is no single best — it depends on the trip. The G650ER is the all-round benchmark, the Global 7500 has the longest legs and the largest cabin, the Global 6000 is the value choice, and the Falcon 8X gets into tighter airports. We recommend the right tail once we know your route and party.
