Piston aircraft charter for shorter hops
Piston-engine aircraft are the smallest aircraft available for charter, carrying up to 8 passengers. They are well-suited to flights of roughly 1-2 hours in duration. These are simple flights without a lavatory or other amenities, but they are comfortable and efficient. They are the most economical private air travel solution over very short distances.
