EMBRAER
The Embraer Legacy 650E offers a true three-zone heavy-jet cabin at pricing that often undercuts much smaller aircraft. 14 passengers, 3,900 nm range and a walk-in baggage hold accessible in flight make it a charter-buyer favourite for European, Middle-East and transcontinental US missions.

The Gulfstream G350 is a short-range derivative of the G450 — the same fuselage, cabin and PlaneView flight deck with reduced fuel capacity and 3,800 nm of range at a materially lower hourly cost. The Gulfstream heavy cabin on transcontinental missions rather than transatlantic.
