Very light jets

A very light jet (VLJ) is the smallest class of business jet: a single- or twin-engine aircraft certified for one pilot, with a cabin for four to seven passengers and a range suited to sectors of two to three hours. VLJs trade cabin space for economy and access — they operate from short runways and small airfields that larger jets cannot use, which makes them the usual answer for regional hops, single-passenger trips and positioning flights where a light jet would fly mostly empty.

Published data for the 6 models in this category: range 1,150–1,547 nautical miles, 4–7 passengers in the manufacturer's maximum configuration, 1.24–1.50 m of cabin height. Every figure is the manufacturer's published value, with its source and retrieval date on the model page.
