Best Light Jets

Light jets are the entry point to jet travel — efficient, able to use shorter runways, and ideal for regional trips with a handful of passengers. The trade-off is cabin size and range. Below are the light jets in our catalog, ordered by range.

How this is ranked: Business jets with a maximum take-off weight under 20,000 lb, ranked by maximum range. Independent and spec-driven — we rank on the merits, not on who's selling. Figures are verified specifications. How we work.
