VIP AIRLINERS
VIP airliners offer the highest standards of comfort, luxury, and diversity
of amenities. Championed by world famous offerings like the Boeing
Business Jet, VIP airliners truly offer you a home or office in the sky. With
ample space for passengers, luggage, and even cargo, these airliners are
the optimal choice for those who want to travel long distances in luxurious
comfort, without concern for aircraft limitations.
AIRLINERS
Airliners are designed for large groups of passengers, and/or large cargo
transportation. Passenger capacity can range from 30 passengers to
upward of 500 passengers, depending on the particular aircraft chosen.
Ideally suited for domestic and regional travel, the airliners generally need
to operate into and out of larger airports.
JETS

Business jets can be chosen to meet diverse requirements. Business jets
are the optimal choice for fast luxury transport - short, medium or long
range. Business jets are available with various performance attributes and
passenger capacities.
Fly when you want, wherever in the world you want, on a superior fleet of new
generation jets.
SHORT RANGE
Up to 3 hours at 650 km/h

average range, speed, and comfort, than piston aircraft. Turboprops can
maintain speeds of up to 450 km/h and typically have a range of some
1800 km. Turboprops are cheaper to operate than jets and are commonly
used for short to medium distance flights - with the added advantage of
being able to take off and land using virtually any airport runway (including
grass or sand).

evacuation flights, and offer versatile passenger transport.

The Beechcraft King Air might just be the world’s most
popular turboprop aircraft. Originally developed as a
compromise between piston-engine and jet aircraft,
the King Air flies further than a piston-driven engine
can, and lands on runways far shorter than a jet can
handle. This T-tail, twin-engine craft remains a firm
favourite in commercial and civil aviation, as well as
with military buyers.
