Frequently Asked Questions
A heavy jet is the charter category best suited to long-haul intercontinental flying with a divan, full galley and crew rest. SkyBridge Jets sources 3 models in this category, from the Dassault Falcon 900LX upward.
Indicative hourly rates in this category start from around £9,600 and rise with cabin size and capability. Hourly rate is only part of the cost — positioning, airport fees, crew duty and taxes all move the final quote.
The longest-legged model we source in this category is the Gulfstream G550 at 6,750 nm. Payload, winds and reserves reduce that in practice, so we range-check every sector before quoting.
Typical layouts in this category run up to 12–14 passengers on the Dassault Falcon 900LX. Seating is configuration-specific and confirmed per tail.
SkyBridge Jets is a broker, not an air carrier. Every heavy jet we offer is operated by a vetted AOC holder, and the operator is named to you before you commit.
