Dassault Falcon 900EX
The Falcon 900EX is the extended-range version of Dassault’s three-engine heavy jet, and out of Los Angeles it does something very few aircraft manage: twelve to fourteen passengers, 4,500 nautical miles, and short-field manners.

Dassault Falcon 2000S
The Falcon 2000S is the short-field specialist of the Los Angeles heavy-jet market. Eight to ten passengers in a wide cabin, 482 knots, and inboard slats that let a heavy jet work runways most of the category cannot.

Dassault Falcon 2000LXS
The Falcon 2000LXS is the long-range version of the aircraft above and the one Los Angeles clients should ask for when the trip is transcontinental. Same wide cabin and short-field manners, 4,000 nautical miles instead of 3,350. Dassault combined the 2000LX’s range with the 2000S’s inboard slats and blended winglets to create the LXS. EightRead the Rest “Dassault Falcon 2000LXS”
Cessna Citation Hemisphere
The Citation Hemisphere is a Los Angeles charter inquiry we cannot fill, and it is worth being direct about why. Cessna suspended the program in 2018 over engine delays and the aircraft has never flown, never been certified and never been delivered. There is no Hemisphere to charter, here or anywhere. Textron announced the CitationRead the Rest “Cessna Citation Hemisphere”

HondaJet Elite
The HondaJet Elite is the longer-legged development of the aircraft above, and out of Los Angeles that extra range is what makes it a genuinely useful charter aircraft rather than a short-hop one. Same five or six seats and 422 knots, 1,437 nautical miles. Honda Aircraft improved the HA-420 with additional fuel capacity, a redesignedRead the Rest “HondaJet Elite”
Honda HA-420 HondaJet
The HondaJet is the most distinctive aircraft in the Los Angeles very light jet fleet, with its engines mounted above the wings rather than on the fuselage.
