Very Light Jet
The smallest, most affordable jets — jet speed and comfort for a small party on short trips.
Class-typical figures for planning, not a specific model's spec sheet — range and speed vary by model, load, and conditions.
Very light jets (VLJs) are the entry point to jet travel — real jet speed and altitude in the smallest, most economical airframe. They seat a small group, usually four to five in comfort, and are built for shorter sectors where their range and cabin size are a perfect match rather than a limitation.
What it's like
You get the smooth, high, fast ride of a jet — above most weather, quicker than a turboprop — in a cabin sized for a small party and light luggage. It is the natural step up for someone who wants jet speed without a light jet's cost, on trips where a bigger cabin isn't needed.
