Top 5 Private Jets!


Private Jets are the most luxurious way to travel, but what is the best of the best? At Execflyer, we asked our private jet charter clients what aircraft they preferred, and why they preferred them.

In at number 5 was the Cessna Citation X, Cessna’s flagship aircraft. Whilst it does have a very spacious, quiet and relaxing cabin, this isn’t the reason it features here. Our clients liked it for another, very special attribute. Speed. This Ferrari of the skies will fly at mach .92, making it the fastest way to travel today. Its sleek, elegant design also makes it very easy on the eyes.

Fourth on the list is the timeless Gulfstream, specifically, the G550. This aircraft does everything you would expect it to, with a full stand up cabin, a range of  6750 nautical miles, and a cruise speed of Mach .80. Our clients liked the space in the cabin, and the ability to fly non-stop to almost any destination. The gulfstream is the most widely used jet for long range private jet charter flights in the world.

At number three, it was a podium finish for the French built Dassault Falcon 7X. This three engine jet is one of the most impressive aircraft available, with a large cabin, and a very quiet interior. The 7X can also get into shorter runways than other aircraft of that size, giving passengers a bigger choice of airfields.                  

Coming in a close second, is the Bombardier Global Express. This really is the ultimate true business jet, with the largest cabin, a high cruise speed of mach .85, and a range of over 6000 nautical miles. Preferred by everyone who flies on it, once you have been on a global, you will never go back to any other aircraft for your private jet charter!

In first position though, for obvious reasons, is the BBJ, the Boeing Business Jet. The BBJ brings in new levels of luxury to the private jet charter market, with a full airliner cabin, that includes bedrooms, showers and board rooms to name a few of the facilities available. The BBJ can carry up to 52 people in first class seats, or as little as 18 in a full VVIP configuration, and has a range of up to 6200 nautical miles.

How Private is your Private Jet?

How private is your Private Jet? 
Leading air charter provider, Execflyer have teamed up with Pinnacle Risk Management to provide bug sweeping services for clients who need re-assurance that their aircraft cabin is 100% secure.
Jamie Dickson, head of charter stated that, “We have seen increased demand for security on board our charter aircraft, as well as a requirement to provide the same service for private owners. A recent high profile case in the media has highlighted some of the techniques used in order to secure exclusive stories. As a result, we are addressing the question of security in an environment that we all assume to be watertight. On one aircraft turn around engineers, caterers and handling staff could potentially access an aircraft cabin. In an ideal world we would trust that everyone within the perimeter of an airport anywhere on a global scale has been security checked. However there is always the risk that someone is paid a substantial amount to bug an aircraft cabin. Highly sensitive conversations take place in this environment, hence the launch of this service.”
Pinnacle Director, Matt Croucher added that “The methods employed by media and corporations to gain the inside track on a deal, celebrity movements etc have become increasingly sophisticated. The latest transmitters are difficult to identify, though here at Pinnacle we have invested significantly in equipment to find such devices. One high profile client found a tracker under his car, after he became suspicious that the media always knew his whereabouts. A growing proportion of our business now is ensuring privacy for high profile individuals and corporates, and we are very pleased to now be helping Execflyer’s private jet clients”.

Private jet charter with added security!

Execflyer Air Charter is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Pinnacle Risk Management, a leading provider of close protection, evacuation and risk management services. As a result of growing tensions in the Middle East and Africa, Execflyer were retained by a number of businesses operating in this region amid growing concern for employees. Execflyer teamed up with Pinnacle when it was clear that specialist military expertise was required for this particular situation. Pinnacle, headed up by Matt Croucher GC, were able to draw upon a wealth of experience from Special Forces, RM Commandos and the secret service. In a matter of hours, a team were put together with aircraft solutions, personnel and more importantly insurances in place.
Steven Moth, Director of Execflyer commented, “Working with Pinnacle has been a real eye opener to say the least. These guys are trained to overcome any hurdle in sometimes very challenging environments. The confidence, attention to detail and sheer quality of personnel that Pinnacle pulled together in a very short time frame was nothing short of outstanding. Within hours we had 3 very viable solutions to extract a number of key personnel from remote, hostile locations in North Africa.”
Matt Croucher added that “working with Execflyer Air Charter has given us a platform upon which to showcase our skills both from a corporate and security perspective. In the run up to this announcement, we have undertaken close protection work for their high net worth clients, as well as aircraft evacuations from the North African region. In the future, we are also looking at the possibility to offer close protection to their political charter clients. The work we have undertaken thus far has been highly successful and thus such a partnership makes perfect sense.”
