Popular private jets to charter in France for the Rugby Union World Cup
With one of the world’s busiest private jet hubs located in Paris, it’s no wonder France is home to around 1.2% of the world’s registered business jets. Here are what we expect to be the most popular private jets to charter during the Rugby Union World Cup in 2023.
Pilatus PC-12
One of only a handful of modern single-engine turboprops on the market, the Pilatus PC-12 is known for its comfort, versatility and economy. The Swiss-designed aircraft’s spacious cabin was designed in collaboration with BMW Group Designworks and can accommodate up to nine passengers, although it’s usually configured to seat six or eight. The PC-12’s impressive range means it can connect France with almost every major city in Europe.
Pilatus PC-24
Dubbed the only “super versatile jet” on the market, the PC-12’s big brother combines its sibling’s versatility with the cabin size of a much larger business jet. For private jet flyers, this means up to eight passengers can fly from Paris to Istanbul in comfort and exclusivity for a price that rivals some of the most economical jets. Perhaps the most unique aspect of the PC-24 is its cargo door, which can fit a standard-sized pallet!
Dassault Falcon 2000
The first French-made Falcon 2000 was delivered in 1995, kick-starting a range that continues today. Future variations and upgrades have included the 2000EX (and EX EASy), 2000DX, 2000S, 2000LX and 2000XLS. All vary slightly in age and performance but feature the same fuselage, which means every passenger travelling on a Falcon 2000 gets to enjoy one of the most spacious cabins in the super-midsize jet class.
Embraer Legacy 600/650
Embraer’s Legacy 600 and 650 are two of the only private aircraft in the heavy jet class to offer three distinct cabin zones where passengers can work, dine or sleep. With a 13-seat standard configuration and large baggage hold, both models offer a cost-effective charter solution for parties of 10 or more. The newer 650 can fly 15% further than its predecessor, connecting Paris with New York and Melbourne with Singapore.
