Five classes of aircraft, sourced per trip. The table below shows typical seating, range and the kind of mission each class is built for — a guide for the conversation, not a fixed price list.

Which Class?
A quick way to decide
Pick light if…
You are flying one to six people on a domestic or short regional sector, luggage is modest, and cost efficiency is the priority.
Pick midsize if…
You want a stand-up cabin, more baggage space and the flexibility to use secondary airfields on trips of two to four hours.
Pick heavy or ultra if…
Your leg crosses a continent or an ocean. Cabin zones, crew rest and true nonstop range start to matter more than headline hourly rate.
Beyond Jets
Helicopters, turboprops and specialist aircraft
Not every mission needs a jet. For short city transfers a helicopter removes road time entirely. For short-field or rough-strip work, a turboprop can reach places a jet cannot. For outsized or awkward freight, a freighter or combi aircraft is the right answer.
Light and medium twin helicopters for executive and offshore transfer
Turboprops for short-runway and remote airstrip access
Regional airliners for larger group movements of 30 seats and above
Freighter and combi aircraft for cargo and equipment lift
Stretcher-configured aircraft for medical evacuation missions
