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 $3,300–$4,300 per flight hour, so a two-hour leg lands around $6,600–$8,600 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.
7 in the normal charter layout and up to 10 in a high-density configuration. Baggage is the usual real constraint: 77 cubic feet, roughly 19 large cases with soft bags on top.
2,165 nautical miles (2,492 statute miles) at a 451 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.
