Engineered to fly long nonstop distances, they are ideal for transcontinental and transatlantic flights, with a range of up to about 4,500 nm. Heavy jets can link cities such as New York and London, or Los Angeles and Honolulu, without refueling. Chartering a heavy jet guarantees ample space in the cabin, which allows the users to relax, work, or even sleep. Heavy jets normally accommodate between 12 and 16 passengers. Such facilities are well-suited for larger groups or corporate teams, as the cabin is furnished with a stylish interior, large lounges, galleys, and sometimes sleeping rooms or showers to ensure comfort and a luxurious flight. In addition, remarkable performance is a powerful attribute, as superpowered engines enable them to reach their highest speeds at higher altitudes. ## Heavy Jet Charter Cost As of October 2026, it usually costs about $7,000 to $10,000 per flight hour to charter a heavy jet, depending on the aircraft model, the flight distance and itinerary, as well as additional services. ## Heavy Jet Charter Services 7 Heavy Jet Aircraft are Available ### [Challenger 605](https://privatejet.com/aircraft/challenger-605/) - Capacity: 12 passengers - Price per hour: $8,500 - Cabin Size: 6.1 ft (H) x 8.2 ft (W) x 28.3 ft (L) - Cruise speed: 459 knots ### [Challenger 650](https://privatejet.com/aircraft/challenger-650/) - Capacity: 12 passengers - Price per hour: $9,500 - Cabin Size: 6 ft (H) x 7.9 ft (W) x 25.6 ft (L) - Cruise speed: 482 knots ### [Legacy 600](https://privatejet.com/aircraft/legacy-600/) - Capacity: 13 passengers - Price per hour: $7,000 - Cabin Size: 6 ft (H) x 6.9 ft (W) x 42.5 ft (L) - Cruise speed: 459 knots ### [Gulfstream GIV-SP](https://privatejet.com/aircraft/private-jet-charter-gulfstream-giv-sp/) - Capacity: 13 passengers - Price per hour: $7,900 - Cabin Size: 6.1 ft (H) x 7.3 ft (W) x 45.1 ft (L) - Cruise speed: 476 knots ### [Legacy 650](https://privatejet.com/aircraft/legacy-650/) - Capacity: 14 passengers - Price per hour: $8,000 - Cabin Size: 6 ft (H) x 6.9 ft (W) x 42.5 ft (L) - Cruise speed: 459 knots ### [Falcon 900EX](https://privatejet.com/aircraft/falcon-900ex/) - Capacity: 14 passengers - Price per hour: $7,800 - Cabin Size: 6.2 ft (H) x 7.7 ft (W) x 33.2 ft (L) - Cruise speed: 481 knots ### [Gulfstream G450](https://privatejet.com/aircraft/private-jet-charter-gulfstream-g450/) - Capacity: 16 passengers - Price per hour: $9,000 - Cabin Size: 6.2 ft (H) x 7.3 ft (W) x 45.1 ft (L) - Cruise speed: 488 knots ## Explore Other Aircraft Categories [View all Categories](https://privatejet.com/aircraft/) #### [Piston](https://privatejet.com/pistons/) #### [Turboprop](https://privatejet.com/turboprops/) #### [Very Light Jet](https://privatejet.com/very-light-jets/) #### [Light Jet](https://privatejet.com/light-jets/) #### [Midsize Jet](https://privatejet.com/midsize-jets/) #### [Super Midsize Jet](https://privatejet.com/super-midsize-jets/) #### [Ultra Long Range](https://privatejet.com/ultra-long-range-jets/) #### [VIP Airliner](https://privatejet.com/vip-airliners/) ### Frequently Asked Questions #### How many passengers can a heavy jet accommodate?
