With rising airfares, busier airports, and more delays than ever expected for 2025, there’s never been a better time to hire a private jet. No matter your requirements, it’s always better to fly private. Especially if you value being on time, productive, and enjoying supreme comfort while traveling in style. It's the most comfortable option, even if simply catching up on sleep is a priority.

And what’s more? These benefits will feel even better in 2025, with some of the best private jets ready to make your acquaintance. Let’s dive into our hand-picked selection of the most elite jets available for hire in 2025. 

Bombardier Global 8000

Flying from one side of the world to another in a fully customizable private jet was once the stuff of dreams. Yet, in 2025, you can hire a luxury plane charter to fly from London to Perth with all your friends and family. The Global 8000, already dubbed the world’s fastest civilian jet, has even broken the sound barrier during test flights. This means you’ll reach your destination much faster than any commercial jet.

The Bombardier isn’t just built for speed; this mind-blowing aircraft also prioritizes luxury. It carries 19 passengers, so you can take friends and extended family on the trip of a lifetime, with optional features like a home-theater surround-sound setup with 4K TV and the industry’s first zero-gravity seats.

So, if you’re looking to charter the fastest jet with the longest range that the smallest airports can accommodate, look no further than the Bombardier Global 8000 in 2025.

ACJ TwoTwenty

The ACJ TwoTwenty is a private jet over twenty years in the making. First announced way back in 2002, the ACJ TwoTwenty has been hyped up so much over the years. And we’re here to tell you that the hype is real. With a range of 5,650 nautical miles, the TwoTwenty can handle transatlantic flights and possibly even L.A. to Tokyo without the need for refueling. The aircraft costs around $80 million brand-new, so most of us will have to settle for chartering one of these beauties. However, with a design focus on business travelers, they make a great addition to any large corporation.

The ACJ TwoTwenty is adaptable and can cater to a range of travel needs and tastes. There are four customizable lounges, one of which can feature a bedroom suite with an en-suite bathroom. The aircraft also features lay-flat seats, making it a perfect jet for when you need to catch up on sleep between meetings or prevent the worst effects of jetlag before a vacation.

HondaJet Echelon

What if you could pack all the luxury and comfort of the big elite jets into a smaller cabin with a capacity for 11 passengers? Well, HondaJet has done just that with the Echelon. Capable of flying across the United States without refueling, the Echelon features the tallest cabin height of any light jet and three cabin designs for various travel needs.

What makes all this so incredible is that you get these prominent jet features in a single-pilot light jet. This allows you to fly wherever, whenever, without compromising comfort.

Pilatus PC-24

Designed for operational versatility, the Pilatus PC-24 is the aircraft you charter during a blizzard in the Alps. It’s the one you charter when flying onto super-short runways in the Caribbean. The Pilatus PC-24 is one of the most adaptable jets in 2025. The aircraft is small, with a capacity for six passengers, but its single-pilot operation makes it more flexible than some of the larger aircraft mentioned on the list. The PC-24 will take you from L.A. to Austin or New York to Chicago without refueling. Whether you just use it for short- or long-haul trips, it’s perfectly suited to short business flights or weekend getaways.

The interior features a divan that can be converted into a bed for added comfort, and several upgrades are available for mood lighting, custom audio, and TV setup.

Cessna Citation Longitude

No private jet list is complete without the Citation. Undoubtedly one of the world’s most reliable and accessible elite jets, the Longitude claims the world’s quietest super-midsize-cabin, so you can phone into key meetings whether you’re taking off or cruising at altitude. The aircraft has a maximum range of 3,500 nautical miles, shorter than the previous jets but still long enough to take you from Chicago to London without refueling.

To get more technical, two Honeywell HTF7700L engines capable of speeds of up to 483 knots — about 555 miles per hour — power the Longitude. Cessna claims to have one of the industry's most advanced flight diagnostics systems, so you can expect a joyous flight whether you’re in the cabin or the cockpit.

The Best of the Best

Now that we’ve introduced you to some of the very finest elite jets available for private charter, you should clearly understand which suits you. For the trip of a lifetime, the Bombardier 8000 is undoubtedly the number one, but for shorter trips, something like the HondaJet Echelon would get you there in style without compromise. Whichever elite aircraft you choose from the list, you can be confident that it won’t disappoint.
