Premier IA

The Premier IA, manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft, is a medium-range regional light jet accommodating up to 7 passengers with a range of 3,334 km (1,800 nm). It cruises at 778 km/h with swift cruise performance, featuring an efficient compact cabin measuring 15 × 5.1 × 4.9 ft (approximately 375 cu ft of cabin volume) with in-flight WiFi connectivity. With charter rates starting from $4,500 per hour, the Premier IA stands out among light jet aircraft for its combination of performance and value — ideal for travelers seeking a dependable private aviation solution.

Light jets are the ideal choice for short to medium-range trips, offering the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and cost efficiency. With seating for up to 7 passengers, these aircraft excel on routes up to 1,800 nautical miles — covering city pairs like New York to Miami, Los Angeles to San Francisco, or London to Nice with ease.

Despite their compact size, light jets deliver a premium private aviation experience with stand-up cabins, enclosed lavatories, and modern avionics. They access smaller airports that larger aircraft cannot, reducing ground travel time and putting you closer to your final destination.

For business travelers and small groups, light jets represent one of the most cost-effective ways to fly privately, with hourly rates significantly below midsize and heavy jets while still delivering the speed, privacy, and flexibility that define private aviation.
