Midsize jets are among the aircraft Jet Charter Japan arranges for trips to and from Japan. The types we arrange seat 6 to 10 passengers, with published ranges from 1,810 to 2,950 nautical miles. Which one suits your trip depends on the passenger count, the baggage, the distance and the airports at both ends.
Typical Aircraft
The types we arrange in this category are Cessna Citation Excel, Cessna Citation III, Cessna Citation VII, Dassault Falcon 20, Embraer Legacy 450, Gulfstream G100 / G150, Hawker 700, Hawker 800 / 800XP, Hawker 900XP, Learjet 55 and Learjet 60.
When a Midsize Jet Fits a Japan Trip
Midsize jets give a group a larger cabin for the longer regional flights, and from Tokyo most of the types we arrange reach Seoul, Shanghai, Taipei, Guam, Hong Kong and Manila. For Singapore, Hawaii or the Pacific crossing, your advisor will quote a long range jet.
Cabin size, baggage space and range vary across these 11 types, so send us the details and we will narrow the list down for you.
The runway a particular aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and your advisor confirms it with the operator before anything is booked.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Japan-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Most private flights into Tokyo use Haneda or Narita. Private-jet slots at Haneda are scarce, so we often plan Narita as well, and Narita closes overnight. Kyoto has no airport of its own, so international flights for Kyoto land at Kansai. The aircraft that brings your group into Japan can usually carry the same group on to other Japanese cities as part of the same trip, and a trip entirely within Japan is flown by a Japanese charter operator certified by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau. The rainy season runs from June into July, typhoons are most common in August and September, and winter brings snow to Hokkaido and the Japanese Alps. Golden Week, the New Year holidays and the cherry blossom season book up first, and the routing and any fuel stop on a long trip are confirmed with the operator before you book.
