| Main trade-off | A fast and practical light jet with broad support, but programme coverage and phase inspections determine true ownership cost. | The Citation VII combines 10-seat jet capability with about 1,651 NM reported range and about 452 kt reported cruise, while payload, runway and operating-cost figures remain indicative and should be verified for the specific aircraft before making a decision. | The Learjet 60 combines 9-seat jet capability with about 2,131 NM reported range and about 436 kt reported cruise, while payload, runway and operating-cost figures remain indicative and should be verified for the specific aircraft before making a decision. |
