Citation Mustang
Dassault 2000EX
Cessna
Clyde Cessna started this
small company back in 1927 and little did he know then
that it would one day go on to become the world's largest
manufacturer of general airplanes and one of the best private
jet companies around.
In 2005, Cessna delivered 1,157 aircraft
with revenues of about $3.5 billion. Since it was started in
1927 it has produced 187,000 airplanes which have been
delivered to nearly every country in the world. The Citation’s
are also listed in the top three of best selling business jets
of all time.
Cirrus
This plane has been voted the world’s
best selling airplane four years running by the General
Aviation Manufacturers Association.
One owner of this plane is Angelina
Jolie who has her pilot’s license. Brad Pitt has also been
seen flying it to earn his wings as well. The starting price
is $199,000 for the basic model and $449,000 for the
deluxe.
Dassault
Marcel Bloch was the founder of Dassault
but what is most fascinating about his story is why he changed
his name.
The story goes that towards the last days of
World War II when he was 53 years old,
Marcel changed his surname
from Bloch to Dassault in apparent honour of his brother.
Darius-Paul was a hero of the French resistance and his code
name was "the tank" which in French translates to, char
d'assault. And so was born the Dassault legacy.
Eclipse
To own the Eclipse 500 Jet can become a
reality for more people who would love to have a plane of
their own.
The cost is US$1.3million and it boasts the
lowest operating cost per mile than any jet. It is also very
fast with a whisper quiet Pratt and Whitney engine.
It has already attracted 2400 orders. Contact this private
jet companies service centre to add your order to the list.
Embraer
This is one of Brazil's best private jet
companies whose main business is in regional jets and
military aircraft. They branched out into private jets in 2005
with the Legacy 600 being their first.
The company now
has a few more models, these being the Phenom 100 with seating
for 8 people, the Lineage 1000 which is a luxurious large jet
that can be custom designed within and the Legacy Shuttle
which can seat from 19 – 37 passengers.
The
Phenom 300 is the latest model which was designed for a great
amount of use with low operating costs and a price tag of $6.6
million. Delivery is expected in 2009.
Gulfstream
Gulfstream must be the most famous and
most glamorous of all private jet companies with many
celebrities and Forbes 500 companies favouring them.
It may be because they are the most luxurious and
technologically advanced jets in the world which have also set
many speed records. More than a quarter of Fortune 500
companies own one and there is even a Gulfstream IV-SP which
is a hurricane tracker.
When you need to take care of business
onboard, some models have broadband internet access and video
and voice conferencing facilities.
Pilatus
This is one of the
best private jet companies in Switzerland which was founded in 1939. They are also
the world market leader in the
manufacture of single-engine turboprop aircraft.
Their
customer support is excellent and they also take care of all
maintenance and any training that may be needed.
