There is an overwhelming number of private aircraft on the market today. Most people who fly private jets do not own their jet, but charter their ride. However, before looking into chartering a ride, a person needs to know what their options are. There are four main styles: executive piston and turboprop, light executive jets, midsized executive jets, and heavy jets.

Piston and turboprop jets are ideal for small groups traveling on business. They are not recommended for people traveling extended distances and are some of smaller jets on the market. Light executive jets provide privacy and are a step up from the piston and turboprop. The interiors are still nice but they are not going to be the highest overall quality. When traveling in large groups you are going to need the midsized executive jet or the larger heavy jets. Both of these are very luxurious and have the space for large parties. These jets will provide for longer traveling distances to your destination city compared to the smaller versions.

Such are new items that the commercial airline market have established to assist the weary traveler.
