STARBASE JET INTRODUCES THE FIRST CITATION X+ FOR CHARTER IN THE WORLD

Starbase Jet, a leading private jet services provider, announced today that it has added a brand new Citation X+ to its large and diverse fleet of charter aircraft. The aircraft is based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

As the fastest civilian jet in the world, the Citation X+ will change the way you do business. No other business jet can match the combination of range and speed offered by the Citation X+. Cruising at incredible speeds of up to Mach 0.90 (685mph) and climbing up to 51,000 feet, the X+ can go New York to Los Angeles in as little as 4 ½ hours and reach St. Kitts from Houston in 4 hours. The award-winning design of the Citation X+ exterior includes dramatically swept wings, a low-drag airframe, winglets, and powerful Rolls Royce engines. With a smarter, more spacious and stylish cabin; shorter travel times; and more in-flight enjoyment, the Citation X+ showcases the latest in advanced avionics systems and cabin entertainment.

Advanced Flight Deck

The Citation X+ features an advanced flight deck powered by the Garmin G5000 avionics suite. With touch-screen controllers, the flight crew can customize data presentation, see dimensional renderings of terrain, read precise weather patterns and see traffic coming from miles away. The flight displays are made up of three multi-pane widescreens enhanced with Garmin’s Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT). Four intuitive, full color, touch-screen LCD control panels serve as the crew’s primary user interface, replacing old-fashioned knobs, buttons and switches. Garmin’s SVT offers a virtual reality view of terrain such as water and land surfaces, obstacles, traffic and runways which enhances pilot’s situational awareness and improves overall safety of flight.

“Starbase Jet is very excited and honored to be the first jet charter company in the world to offer the Citation X+ for charter. This aircraft is essentially a time machine in the most luxurious form possible.” says Luis Garcia, SVP of Sales. “The X+ is absolutely breathtaking inside and out. Whether you’re a seasoned charter customer, fractional share owner, or taking your first private jet flight, this Citation X+ will for sure be a memorable travel experience that you’ll never forget!”

Which Aircraft Fits Your Needs?

Planning a vacation on a private jet, but you’re not sure which aircraft you should take? In this post you will find out how the aircrafts differ and how to pick the perfect private jet based on your travel requirements!

There are several contributing factors to take into account which will help you choose the aircraft that’s right for you.

Factors:  

How many passengers are traveling with you?

Approximately how many miles do you need to fly?

What do you need to bring on board?

What are your In-flight priorities?

 

Comparison of Light, Mid-Size, & Large Aircraft

Aircraft Size No. of Passengers Mileage
Light Up to 7 passengers Up to 1,500 miles or 3-4 hours nonstop
Mid-size Up to 9 passengers Up 2,000-3,000 miles or 4-5 hours nonstop
Large Up to 18 passengers Up to 6,200 miles or 6-12 hours nonstop

 

 Light Jet 

 The light jet is the most economical choice for short to medium range trips for up to 7 passengers and a light baggage load. You can expect a light jet travel up to 1,500 miles or between 3 and 4 hours non-stop. These aircraft come with curtained, partial, or full lavatories and most comfortably accommodate four to seven passengers. Light jets are capable of landing at airports with shorter runways providing you access to the closest airport to your destination. 

 

 Mid-size Jet 

 

The midsize jet offers added range and performance to the light jet class, without incurring the costs of a heavy jet. This aircraft class can accommodate up to 9 passengers, and is optimal for coast to coast travel with a range from 2,000-3,000 miles- allowing for longer trips without the need to refuel. Most mid-size jets provide a stand up cabin and have luxury amenities for your flight.

 

 Large Jet 

The ultimate in private jet travel, the larger cabin aircraft allows luxury amenities, comfort, faster trips, and nonstop travel. With the capability of accommodating ten to eighteen passengers, continuous travel up to 6,200 miles at speeds between 480 and 560 miles per hour, large cabin jets are the way to go for long-distance trips for larger groups. These jets also have external storage compartments to handle larger baggage needs.
