Private jet travel has moved well beyond the ultra-wealthy. Sophisticated travelers who value their time, their privacy, and their comfort are choosing private aviation for everything from a long weekend in Napa to a multi-continent expedition.
BTA's partnership with the world's most reputable brokers ensures that every client receives the best value, the highest safety standards, and the most attentive service on every flight. There are three primary categories of private jets: Light, Midsize, and Large/Heavy. We match the right aircraft to your journey.

Turboprop
The most cost-effective introduction to private aviation. Turboprops are ideal for short regional hops with smaller groups, offering more cabin space than a light jet at a lower operating cost. Models include the Cessna 441 Conquest, Jetstream 31, and Pilatus PC-12NG.

Light Jet
Light jets offer the ideal balance of speed, efficiency, and comfort for shorter journeys. Faster and more fuel-efficient than turboprops, they are well-suited for weekend escapes, city-to-city travel, and mountain or beach getaways. Popular models include the Falcon 10, Nextant 400XTi, and Learjet 70/75.

Ideal for cross-country and transatlantic legs with a stopover. Models include the Gulfstream Astra, Hawker 850XP, Learjet 60XR, and Citation III/VI/VII.
