Heavy Jet Aircrafts

Aircraft in the heavy jet category are best suited for flights from coast to coast or international destinations. With the ability to travel ranges greater than 2,500 nautical miles fuel stops are not required.

Falcon900EX: The 900EX flies 4500 nautical miles nonstop, the fastest in the heavy jet class. And with its classic trijet engine design, the 900EX can use small airports at high altitudes, even on hot days. It's the most versatile aircraft and also one of the safest given its ability to fly slower on approach than its twinjet competitors.

A state-of-the-art flight deck offers pilots an uncompromising capability to monitor and control the progression of the flight while the spacious, state-of-the art cabin offers passengers the uncompromising capability to perform at peak levels while en route. The Falcon 900EX can link Aspen to Dublin, Vancouver to Vienna, New York to Moscow, or Paris to Beijing, landing with NBAA IFR reserves. The Falcon 900EX heavy jet is capable of flying eight passengers from Stockholm to Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Istanbul and, finally, Moscow without refueling.

Gulfstream G500: The G500 balances performance, safety and affordability. Certified for worldwide operations, the new G500 features a normal cruising speed of Mach 80 and a range of 5,800 nautical miles with a load of eight passengers. Fully equipped, with a full load of fuel, the G500 can link Los Angeles with Tokyo or London with Johannesburg. For additional safety, the aircraft is equipped with twin Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofan engines, known for their high performance and dependability.

The G500 also provides an exceptional, advanced safety feature, the Automatic Emergency Descent Mode, built into the Flight Management System. In the unlikely event of a rapid cabin depressurization at 40,000 feet or above, coupled with crew incapacitation, the G500 will automatically turn and descend to a safe altitude of 15,000 feet and a speed of 250 knots. The G500, along with the Gulfstream G550™, are the only aircraft in the ultra-long-range heavy jet class to offer this extraordinary level of safety for your passengers and crew.

The Boeing Business Jet or BBJ: It is a member of the 737 family of airliners, one of the most successful and reliable jet aircraft in the world. The BBJ engineering and operations are based on the safety and reliability of the 737 aircraft, which logs more than 14,000 take-offs every day.

The spacious 807ft² cabin can be customised to meet individual or business requirements for 8 to 149 passengers. The BBJ can fly more than 6,000 nautical miles non-stop, for example Johannesburg to London or Los Angeles to Paris and provides interior space nearly three times larger than other comparable long-range executive jets. The BBJ is self-sufficient at airports with reduced ground support and limited facilities.

The aircraft has two CFM International CFM56-7 turbofan engines, each providing 117.4kN. The wing tanks hold 26,025l of fuel and optionally from three to nine auxiliary fuel tanks (belly tanks) can be installed providing a total of up to 40,480l of fuel.
