Premier I Private Jet Charter

About the Premier Premier I

The Premier I broke a rule the light-jet class had always lived by. Where every rival riveted its fuselage from aluminium panels, Raytheon built the Premier's from carbon-fibre composite, wound by machine into a single smooth shell. The payoff was geometric: a composite fuselage needs no internal frames and stringers eating into the cabin, so the Premier could be made wider inside than any aluminium light jet without the structural weight penalty. Certified in 2001 with Williams FJ44 power and a Collins Pro Line 21 glass cockpit, it carries 6 passengers over 2,704 km at 961 km/h. Around 12 serve European charter. It is the light jet that used materials science to beat the tape measure.

Performance Excellence

Flown by one or two crew, the Premier I covers 2,704 km / 1,460 nm at up to 961 km/h (519 ktas) on Williams FJ44-2A power — among the faster light jets of its day. Around 12 examples serve European charter at roughly €4,000 per hour. Its numbers are competitive, but its case is the cabin: the carbon-fibre fuselage gives more width and quiet than any aluminium rival at the price, which is exactly what a passenger feels on a two-hour leg.

Cabin Comfort

The Premier I's cabin is the whole argument for the aircraft: at 1.40 m wide and 5.71 m long it is dimensionally the most generous in the light class, and the composite construction is the reason. With no metal frames intruding, the smooth carbon shell delivers its full internal width straight to the passengers — six seats in a club-four and pair feel a size larger than the cabin's category suggests. The same one-piece shell is quieter than a riveted fuselage, with fewer joints to transmit airframe noise, so cruise is notably hushed for a light jet. It is a small cabin made to feel like a midsize, by building it from a fundamentally better material.

High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
