Heavy Jet
The Standard for Large Groups and Long-Range International Travel
Heavy jets seat up to fourteen passengers and are configured for travel where the flight itself demands as much attention as the destination. Dedicated seating zones, full galleys capable of supporting multi-course service, sleeping capability on select aircraft, and true intercontinental range place this category in a class that redefines what a business aircraft can do.
The cabin experience in a heavy jet is categorically different from smaller classes. Multiple seating configurations — forward conference areas, aft club zones, dedicated divan seating — allow the aircraft to serve as a working environment, a dining room, or a rest space, often in the same flight.
The Gulfstream 450, Challenger 650, Falcon 900, and Legacy 600 represent some of the most capable and widely recognized aircraft in this category. Each offers a distinct cabin character and performance profile.
Every heavy jet in the Elevate network is verified under the Elevate Assurance Pledge before booking confirmation.
