Long range jets are one of the categories San Francisco Jet Charter arranges most often out of the Bay Area, typically 11 to 19 passengers, published ranges from 4,500 to 8,200 nautical miles. Which one suits your trip comes down to the passenger count, the baggage, the distance and the performance at both airports on the day.
Long range jets We Arrange
Typical Aircraft
The working types in this category are Bombardier Global 6500, Bombardier Global 7500, Bombardier Global 8000, Dassault Falcon 6X, Dassault Falcon 8x, Embraer Lineage 1000, Falcon 7X, Global 5000, Global 5500, Global 6000, Global Express and Gulfstream G500, among the 17 types in this category below.
When This Category Fits a San Francisco Trip
A long range jet turns the Pacific into a single leg from San Francisco. Tokyo, Singapore and the European capitals come into reach nonstop, which matters more from this coast than from almost anywhere else in the country.
Within the category the aircraft differ more than the label suggests. Cabin size, baggage volume and published range all vary across the 17 types listed above, and the right one for your trip depends on how many are traveling and what is traveling with them. Send us the details and we will narrow it down rather than leave you to compare specifications.
Only San Francisco International and Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport are towered around the clock, which matters for the late departures these trips often need. Whether a particular aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, that weight and that day, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
San Francisco-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Tower hours determine the trips more than anything else. Only San Francisco International and Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport are towered around the clock; Hayward Executive closes in the late afternoon, and Livermore runs weekday daytime hours with a short window on weekends. For an early departure or a late return, that difference decides the airport. Customs is narrow in this region too, with San Francisco, Oakland, Mineta San Jose and Monterey Regional the fields that clear international arrivals. Trips into the Sierra are their own case, where elevation and terrain shape the aircraft choice more than the distance does.
