Midsize jets — comfort over longer hops
- —Citation Latitude — flat floor, 6'+ cabin height
- —Hawker 800XP — proven value for 3-hour sectors

Airport limitations
London City demands certified aircraft and crews. Lugano and St Moritz require short-field, steep-approach certification — the Pilatus PC-24 and Citation Latitude are common choices. Slots at Nice, Olbia and Ibiza in summer fill weeks in advance.

Cost efficiency
Right-sizing the aircraft is the single biggest cost decision. Flying four people on a heavy jet across Europe wastes ~60% of the per-hour cost. A CJ3+ is half the price and reaches the same airports faster than any commercial connection.
