Light jets are the entry-level jet class of the private charter industry. Light jets provide an economical choice for short to mid-range trips. This type of aircraft can travel farther and faster than alternative aircraft such as turbo props, and they can operate in and out of airports and fixed-base operations not accessible by major airlines. Their amenities normally include pressurized cabins for comfort, safety and performance. Light Jets also contain a semi-private or fully private enclosed lavatory.
A very light jet is entry-level jet or personal jet, previously known as a micro-jet. It’s a category of small jet aircraft approved for single-pilot operation, seating 4-8 people, with a maximum take-off weight of under 10,000 pounds. VLJs are intended to have lower operating costs than conventional jets, and to be able to operate from runways as short as 3,000 feet.
