Where it can actually go
A light jet typically needs around 4,500 ft of runway at mid weights. Measured against the 135 airports we hold real runway data for: 135 can take it, 0 cannot. That is the constraint most spec sheets leave out.

Good to know
Typical US charter rates run $2,800–$3,600 per flight hour, so a two-hour leg lands around $5,600–$7,200 before positioning. These are market estimates, not quotes — the fixed all-in number depends on your dates, positioning and airport fees, and dispatch sends it within about 30 minutes.
6 in the normal charter layout and up to 8 in a high-density configuration. Baggage is the usual real constraint: 65 cubic feet, roughly 16 large cases with soft bags on top.
1,613 nautical miles (1,856 statute miles) at a 418 kt cruise. Real range drops with headwind, full seats and hot high airports, so we plan the fuel stop rather than discover it.
As a light jet it typically needs about 4,500 ft of runway at mid weights. Across the 135 airports we hold runway data for, 135 are long enough and 0 are not — dispatch checks the actual field against your date, temperature and payload before confirming.
