Light Jet vs. Midsize Jet: Cabin Comfort & Range Envelopes
Deciding between agile light jets (Phenom 300E, CJ4) and standup-cabin midsize aircraft (Citation Latitude, Praetor 500).

1. Cabin Height and Standup Comfort
Light jets feature seated-height cabins (1.45m - 1.50m), ideal for 1 to 2.5 hour flights. Midsize jets introduce true flat-floor standup cabins (1.83m height), allowing passengers to walk upright during flight.
2. Range and Non-stop Capability
Light jets effortlessly connect Bucharest to Western Europe (up to 2,000 NM). Midsize jets extend non-stop reach to 3,300+ NM, covering Dubai, Riyadh, or the Canary Islands without refuel stops.
