With average cruising speeds of 440 mph and an average nonstop range of about 1,500 miles, a light jet can travel further and faster then non-jet aircraft while operating in and out of airports not accessible by the major airlines. Amenities often include; pressurized passenger cabins for added comfort, safety and performance and a semi-private lavatory. Light jets have limited baggage capacity and often cannot accommodate skis or large golf bags.
