Very Light Jets
Very Light Jets (VLJs) are small, lightweight aircraft designed for private and business travel. They typically seat 4 to 6 passengers and have a maximum takeoff weight of around 10,000 pounds. VLJs are known for their fuel efficiency and lower operating costs compared to larger jets, making them an attractive option for short-distance flights.
These jets can access smaller airports, allowing for more convenient travel options. Popular models include the Cessna Citation Mustang and the Embraer Phenom 100. VLJs have gained popularity since their introduction in the early 2000s, catering to a growing market of private aviation users.
