Full stand-up cabins, a proper galley and transcontinental range — the class most large-group and long-haul charters end up in.

Hourly figures are US charter-market estimates for comparison, not quotes. Actual pricing depends on operator, date, positioning and airport fees.
Where they can go
This class typically needs about 6,000 ft of runway at mid weights. Against the 135 airports we hold real runway data for: 103 can take it, 32 cannot. That is the constraint most fleet guides leave out.
Runway requirement is typical for the class, not a manufacturer limit — temperature, elevation and payload move it, and dispatch checks the actual field for your date.
Other classes
Dispatch will tell you honestly if a smaller cabin does the job for less.
Good to know
Across the 6 aircraft in this class we hold rate data for, typical US charter rates run $5,800–$9,000 per flight hour. The Gulfstream GIV-SP is the entry point at about $5,800/hr. These are market estimates for comparison, not quotes — the fixed all-in number depends on your route, dates and positioning, and dispatch sends it within about 30 minutes.
2,811–4,750 nautical miles depending on the type. The longest-legged here is the Dassault Falcon 900LX at 4,750 nm. Real range drops with headwind, a full cabin and hot or high airports, so we plan the fuel stop rather than discover it.
8–14 in normal charter layouts. Baggage is usually the real constraint before seats. Across the types we hold baggage figures for, this class carries 115–286 cubic feet. The roomiest cabin here is the Embraer Legacy 600 / 650 at 42.4 ft.
This class typically needs around 6,000 ft of runway at mid weights. Measured against the 135 airports we hold real runway data for, 103 can take it and 32 cannot. Temperature, field elevation and payload all move that figure, so dispatch checks the actual airport against your date before confirming.
Cabin volume and range, mostly — and the hourly rate that comes with them. A bigger cabin buys you stand-up height, a proper lavatory and longer legs without a fuel stop. If your route is short and the group is small, paying for the bigger cabin buys comfort rather than capability, and dispatch will say so.
Tell dispatch where and when. Real availability and one fixed all-in number, usually within half an hour.
