Are you planning a business trip and need to get a group of executives to multiple destinations with the ability to work on board? Or is it a family group vacation, including the beloved dog? Whatever the reason for travel, our Charter Managers can plan and manage your travel requirements and match the right jet to your needs.
Light jets can be ideal for individual or small-group travel. They are suited to short-haul travel and provide the convenience of private travel without needing flight attendants. In addition, light jets can get you to more remote locations with shorter runways and provide an alternative to turbo-prop aircraft.
For larger groups, specific service requirements or medium-long haul travel, mid-sized jets can offer the flexibility you need. These jets provide additional onboard amenities such as bathrooms and lie-flat beds and can accommodate a flight attendant when required.
The Cessna Citation CJ2+ is one of the most popular light jets worldwide. Once onboard, you will first notice the twelve large windows, which allow natural light to fill the cabin, creating a comfortable and airy atmosphere. Another benefit of the CJ2+ is its enhanced soundproofing, ensuring a smooth and quiet flight. The cabin configuration includes centrally located twin club seats with two individual seats at the rear. Not only can each seat swivel, but they can also track away from the wall towards the aisle of the cabin, allowing for more excellent leg and headroom. Folding tables are discreetly housed within the cabin walls and easily accessed to create an area for working or eating. A separate restroom at the rear of the cabin provides further comfort for longer journeys. The CJ2+ is an excellent choice for short domestic journeys and frequent flyers. This aircraft is available for New Zealand domestic charter operations and can access almost all regional airports within New Zealand.

The Cessna Citation Ultra is ideal for short hops, such as Auckland – Christchurch or Queenstown – Auckland. However, with a range of 1,450 nautical miles, this light jet can travel longer distances, such as Auckland – Sydney or Auckland – Fiji, without stopping to refuel. Ideally suited for flexible travel throughout New Zealand, the Australian East Coast, and the Cook Islands. The Ultra has storage space for twenty-six cubic feet of baggage, or about 270Kgs worth of golf bags, suitcases, or whatever else you need to bring along. Arguably, one of the best points about the Ultra is its short takeoff distance. It can complete a takeoff in just 980 meters when loaded to its maximum takeoff weight, which means there aren’t many airfields from which it can’t operate. Not only is the Ultra quick on takeoff, but it is also fast on the climb to its cruise altitude, making for smoother flying conditions. The Ultra lives up to its name for a rapidly deployable and very flexible aircraft.
