Berlin Brandenburg has two long runways, 4,000 and 3,600 metres, so nothing in the private-jet fleet is too large for it. Private jet charter at Berlin Brandenburg is handled through the General Aviation Terminal in the Service Area North, on the access road to Terminal 1, run by BAS Berlin Aviation Service.
The handling hotline is staffed 24 hours and the handling agent offers passport and customs services. The constraint is not size but time, because there is a night flight ban from 00:00 to 05:00.
Charter-A plans around those limits from the first quote.

Which aircraft?
From London, Berlin is a sector of about 510 nautical miles — within non-stop reach of every aircraft class, from turboprops and very light jets upwards. The number of passengers and the luggage usually decide the aircraft: light jets for up to seven, midsize jets and super midsize jets for more space, heavy jets for larger groups. Non-stop range always depends on passengers, baggage and the winds on the day.
