Super midsize jets close the gap between the midsize and heavy classes. The cabins are wide, quiet and around six feet tall, usually with a flat floor; the baggage holds are among the largest outside the heavy fleet; and the newest types add fly-by-wire controls and very low cabin altitudes that leave passengers fresher after a long sector.
Range is the headline. Aircraft in this class fly the length of Europe with fuel to spare, reach the Middle East and North Africa from the UK, and in the case of the Praetor 600 cross the Atlantic.
Best for
- Up to nine passengers on longer sectors
- UK to the Middle East, North Africa or the Canaries
- Transatlantic flights in the longest-range types
