Every Aircraft You Can Book Through Us

Velvet Air does not own aircraft. Each aircraft below is flown by a licensed operator with its own crew. Which of them is free on your route and date is confirmed with your quote, so send us the trip and we come back with the aircraft that fit.

Private Jets

From Light to Heavy Jets

A Cessna Citation CJ3 light jet on a wet ramp at sunset

Light Jet

Citation CJ3/CJ3+, seats 6, range 3h

The smallest cabin we charter, for a short crossing with a small party. It needs about 4,000 feet of paved runway.

A Cessna Citation Excel midsize jet on a wet ramp at night

Midsize Jet

Citation Excel/XLS, seats 8, range 4h

More cabin room and more range than a light jet.

A Cessna Citation Sovereign super midsize jet on the ramp

Super Midsize Jet

Citation Sovereign, seats 8, range 7.5h

A larger cabin and longer legs again, for a bigger party or more baggage. Runway length at the island decides where it can land, so the field is confirmed before the quote.

A Bombardier Challenger 650 heavy jet with its stairs down at sunset

Heavy Jet

Bombardier Challenger 650, seats 12, range 9h

The biggest cabin, for a full group or the longest legs. It needs the most runway, which is why the field at the far end is checked first, and why a short island strip is a job for a different aircraft.
