The Most Preferred Private Jets of Celebrities!
Private jets are mostly preferred by celebrities, business people, politicians and artists who prefer to keep their private life at a distance for safety and comfort.
Celebrities’ private jets are often featured on their social media profiles during their travels. Especially if you’re a celebrity like Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford with a pilot’s license and a fleet of planes, it’s high society news and fast-spreading news. So, which private jets do celebrities prefer with so much wealth? Let’s examine the details together…
1-Dassault Falcon 7X
Purchase Price: 52.2 million USD
(Prices are shared approximatly.They can be updated periodically according to changing economic conditions)
Class: Ultra long range jet
Maximum passenger capacity: 19
The Dassault Falcon 7X was the first wired business jet. With a design that benefits from the company’s experience in producing warplanes with a Mach 2 capacity, it has made a name for itself with the distance it has covered in the air in a short time (max Mach 0.90). Perhaps for this reason, singer Taylor Swift’s private jet preference was Dassault Falcon 7X.
This best-selling product of the Falcon series, however, can offer many more advantages besides the speed advantage. It has an impressive 5,950 nm (11,019 km) range, meaning it can fly non-stop from Paris to Tokyo or New York to Riyadh. Thanks to the digital technologies in Dassault Falcon 7X, the flights are very smooth and the journey is very comfortable thanks to the altitude at which the 7X can fly. The tall, luxurious cabin features high-tech amenities, private toilets, a full-size kitchen and enhanced acoustic silence.
Today, over 270 Falcon 7X aircraft are in service in 41 countries. The fleet has completed approximately 550,000 flight hours and offers excellent shipping reliability. And more and more operators around the world are discovering that they don’t have to compromise small jet agility and efficiency for long-range comfort and capability. Now a mature and proven aircraft platform, the Falcon 7X remains the most advanced and remains the business jet benchmark of the 21st century.
2-Bombardier Global 7500
Purchase Price: 73 million USD new
Class: Ultra Long Range
Maximum Passenger Capacity: 19
Bombardier Global 7500 is one of the largest and longest range business jets in the world. It has four luxury living spaces, a full-size kitchen, and a private crew suite. With a range of 7,700 nm (14,260 km) and a top speed of Mach 0.925 (982 km/h), it can transport its owner, TV star Kylie Jenner, from continent to continent with speed and elegance. The Global 7500 is also known for its smooth ride and large windows that flood the cabin with natural light. Looks like Kylie’s jet also has neon lights on its special pink interior!
The Global 7500 aircraft receives positive feedback from the market for its unmatched performance, innovative technology, unique cabin design and smoothest ride. Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier delivered its 100th Global 750 aircraft at the beginning of 2022. The demand for the Global 7500, known as the “Ferrari of the skies”, is increasing day by day. Consolidating all transportation in the near future to be exclusively by private planes, Bombardier succeeds in improving its innovative approach day by day and reflecting it on its products.
3-Gulfstream G650
Purchase Price: 65 million USD
Class: Ultra long range
Maximum Passenger Capacity: 19
Since the Gulfstream G650 is the flagship of the Gulfstream fleet, we can say that it is not a surprising choice for technology bosses Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. It has an impressive speed (Mach 0.925 or 982 km/h) and range (7,000 nm). However, its popularity is not just about performance; It has an extremely spacious cabin with a capacity of 19 passengers. However, it is usually structured to provide seating for only 8 to 10 people, with a sleeping or resting area. For maximum comfort, the galley has extra large windows and fore and aft toilets.
The flagship of Gulfstream‘s offerings, the ultra-long-range G650 can fly nonstop from Beijing to Los Angeles or from Los Angeles to Buenos Aires. As of 2022, 208 G650s and 131 extended-range G650ERs in service are in the sky.
4-Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign
Purchase Price: 18 million USD new
Grade: Super Medium
Maximum Passenger Capacity: 12
Although not all planes in Indiana Jones movies are real, it is because the leading actor Harrison Ford has a very real Cessna Citation Sovereign (and 7 other planes). It is one of the fastest aircraft in its class with a cruising speed of 826 km/h. It also has the ability to land on short runways. The cabin, which can be cooled by APU before the engine starts, provides a comfortable journey with its spacious bathroom and 180° rotating seats. With a range of 3188 nm, it is ideal for interstate and intercontinental flights. As a licensed pilot, Harrison Ford can fly his plane by himself.
Citation Sovereign was the first business jet to use the variable gear mechanism, and this feature once again set it apart from competing private jets. The only area where Cessna decided not to cut costs and simplify was probably the most vital part of the aircraft; Wings. The new wing design greatly improves airflow and lift capabilities, enabling Sovering cruising speeds of Mach 0.75.
If the top speeds of the Sovereign do not affect the people in the cabin, it is not due to any shortcomings in their engines. Cessna equipped the Sovereign with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C turbofan engines, each delivering 5,600lbs of thrust at takeoff. The engines are rated straight to minimize noise.
Safety was, of course, a top priority for Cessna when designing the Sovereign. Everything from simple flight procedures to the numerous standard emergency systems prevents accidents and has managed to make handling them much simpler.
For a jet that has only been on the market since 2004, Sovereign has done incredibly well. For pilots and customers; it has succeeded in offering its versatility, range, simple systems and comfort with excellent effectiveness. After all, a private jet that can fly directly from California to Hawaii in five and a half hours must be admired.
5-Boeing 767-200ER
Purchase Price: Approximately 220.3 million USD new
Class: Long Range Aircraft
Maximum Passenger Capacity: 290
Rapper Drake’s plane is the largest of the famous private jets on our list. In its original form, it can be an excellent choice not only for its surroundings, but also for extended families. With this; like many celebrities, Drake customized his jet, sacrificing most of the seats to create luxury spaces. Drake‘s remodel created an entertainment room and at least three private suites. His plane is now only 30-45 people.
Boeing 767-200’ER’ indicates extended range. This model has a range of 7280 nm and a top speed of 850 km/h and is the first 767 to complete a non-stop transatlantic flight. He broke the flight distance record for a twinjet in 1988, flying 8,727 nm (16,162 km) from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Port Louis, Mauritius.

Rapper Travis Scott’s private jet is a twin-engine Embraer ERJ-190-100. It has one of the largest interior spaces among single-aisle aircraft. With a range of only 2400 nm, the plane is more suitable for intercontinental journeys such as from Paris to Moscow or Dallas to Bogota. With its 852 km/h cruising speed, it can make these journeys with perfect timing. The engines of the Embraer ERJ 190-100 are both efficient and quiet.

Class: Big Jet
Maximum Passengers: 14
With the largest luggage compartment in its class accessible in-flight, the Legacy 650 offers actor Jackie Chan plenty of space for martial arts training equipment. Also, even though the Jackie is quite short, the cabin height of 1.8 meters is probably appreciated by taller travel companions.

8-Bombardier BD-700 Express
Purchase Price: From $10 million (1999 model) to $13 million (2005 model)
Class: Ultra Long Range
Maximum Passenger Capacity: 19
The BD-700 Express is designed to fly long distances at high speed with a maximum cruising speed of 935 km/h or 0.88 mac. The ultimate goal of this particular design was the ability to fly between any two points on Earth with just one refueling stop. Its long range of 6325 nm means it can fly non-stop between intercontinental destinations like Sydney and Los Angeles. This must be an ideal trait for superstar singer Celine Dion when she’s on tour. It is preferred because it offers fast and comfortable flight over long distances.
Celine Dion’s BD-700 has private bathrooms, a full-size kitchen, dining room, matching beds, and a study. In addition, the BD 700 Express has luxury seats. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Dion travels in style as well as safe and fast.

10-Syberjet SJ30
Purchase Price: 8.3 million USD
Class: Light jet
Maximum Passenger Capacity: 6
Actor Morgan Freeman seems to be gone forever and has boundless energy. Perhaps this is because its private jet Syberjet SJ30 has pressurization at sea level up to 41,000 feet. It’s a fast, high-performance jet that can top 882 km/h, but it’s just a small six-seat airplane. It doesn’t have any of the flashy and flamboyant suites that many other celebrities enjoy: it’s very comfortable, yet it’s a total load-bearer.
With a maximum range of 2,500 nm, awesome for a light jet, the Syberjet SJ30 can fly the Morgan nonstop from Los Angeles to New York or across the Atlantic.
