The New Jet Age
The New Jet Age | Upscale Living Magazine

A new jet age is dawning with the introduction of a new breed of business aircraft.* Very light jets (VLJ) weighing less than 10,000 pounds have been approved for single-pilot operation. They have been dubbed the “SUVs of the sky.” The stylish VLJ interior is the size of most SUVs. These jets accommodate four to six passengers in leather seats, providing ample legroom. Instead of flying into major airports, VLJs avoid crowded check-in hassles by landing at underused airports.

VLJs are priced at a fraction of the corporate jets now on the market.* Their cost varies from $1 to $3 million. VLJs are perfect for business executives requiring flexible travel schedules, making day trips of less then 1,000 miles, or visiting out-of-town relatives. General aviation pilots, charter services, and air taxis are also potential customers of the dozen companies manufacturing the single and twin-engine jets.* Some airline consultants estimate that between 2,500 and 4,500 VLJs will be flying by 2016.
