A fast, compact midsize jet: 4,330 km of range, six or seven seats, two or three berths and 859 km/h of cruise. The cabin is the smallest of the midsize group on our fleet page and the speed is near the top of it, which tells you what this aircraft is for - getting a small party a long way across Europe quickly.
REQUEST A QUOTEEvery figure in this block is copied from the specification table on our own fleet page for this type. Nothing here is a manufacturer brochure number and nothing has been rounded up.
4,330 km of published range. On this network that reaches everything except the Gulf, and on the shortest Gulf sector it reaches on paper by 106 km - which is not a margin, it is a rounding error.
Six of the forty-eight routes on this website are genuinely beyond this aircraft: London to Dubai at 5,500 km, Amsterdam to Dubai at 5,169 km, Geneva to Dubai at 4,920 km, Zurich to Dubai at 4,769 km, Milan to Dubai at 4,662 km and Dubai to Munich at 4,565 km.
A seventh deserves a caveat rather than a yes. Vienna to Dubai at 4,224 km leaves 106 km against a published figure of 4,330 km. That is about seven minutes of cruise, and a published range assumes still air, optimum cruise and a sensible payload. Seven people and a headwind spend it. We would not plan that sector on this type without the crew running the numbers for the actual day, and on most days the answer will be a bigger aeroplane.
From London to Larnaca at 3,288 km downwards the margins are real - 1,042 km in hand there, 1,057 km on Athens to Dubai, 1,102 km to Paphos - and this is where the aeroplane makes sense. Its cruise of 859 km/h is at the quick end of the midsize band and on a four-and-a-half-hour sector that speed is worth twenty minutes against a slower type.
Inside Europe nothing is close to the limit: London to Malaga at 1,721 km is the longest and it uses under half the range. For a party of four or five moving between European cities on a compressed schedule, speed and availability decide the charter, not range.
Published range is a specification, not a clearance. The operating crew plan every flight against the actual weight, weather and alternates, and their number is the one that counts. The table below separates the sectors comfortably inside the envelope from the one that is inside it only on paper.
| Published route | Distance | Nonstop? | Margin against the published range |
|---|---|---|---|
| London to Dubai | 5,500 km | No | Beyond the published range by 1,170 km |
| Amsterdam to Dubai | 5,169 km | No | Beyond the published range by 839 km |
| Geneva to Dubai | 4,920 km | No | Beyond the published range by 590 km |
| Zurich to Dubai | 4,769 km | No | Beyond the published range by 439 km |
| Milan to Dubai | 4,662 km | No | Beyond the published range by 332 km |
| Dubai to Munich | 4,565 km | No | Beyond the published range by 235 km |
| Vienna to Dubai | 4,224 km | On paper only | Inside by 106 km - roughly 7 minutes of cruise, which a full cabin or a headwind can spend |
| London to Larnaca | 3,288 km | Yes, with margin | Inside by 1,042 km |
| Athens to Dubai | 3,273 km | Yes, with margin | Inside by 1,057 km |
| London to Paphos | 3,228 km | Yes, with margin | Inside by 1,102 km |
| London to Mykonos | 2,568 km | Yes, with margin | Inside by 1,762 km |
| Larnaca to Nice | 2,461 km | Yes, with margin | Inside by 1,869 km |
Below 2,400 km the question stops being interesting: every remaining route on this website is inside the range of this aircraft with room to spare. These are the mid-length ones, from about an hour and a quarter to two and a half hours by our own published flight-time estimates.
Distances are great-circle figures between airport coordinates from the OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026. Flight times quoted anywhere on this page are estimates from a model fitted to the flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes, not measured block times. The 19 routes shorter than 700 km are listed on the route index. Range figures are the ones published on our own fleet page and assume still air, optimum cruise and a sensible payload.
5.39 m long, 1.81 m wide, 1.74 m high, six or seven seats, two or three of which become beds, and a 1.36 m³ hold. This is a wide cabin that is not a long one, and the hold is the number to check before you book.
Standing up. 1.74 m of cabin height. A passenger up to about that walks upright; taller passengers stoop. That is normal for the midsize band - the Hawkers are 1.75 m, the Citations 1.73 m - and the exceptions on our fleet page are the Legacy 450 and the Citation Latitude at 1.83 m.
Width against length. 1.81 m wide but only 5.39 m long, which is the shortest midsize cabin our fleet page lists. The width is genuinely good - the Citation Sovereign, Citation X and Citation XLS+ are all 1.68 m - so the cabin feels roomy across and short down. With six people aboard it is a comfortable aeroplane; with seven it is a full one.
Speed. 859 km/h of cruise, which is at the quick end of the midsize group and only just behind the Hawkers at 863-870 km/h. On the eastern Mediterranean sectors that is the practical difference this type offers over the light class.
Sleeping. Two to three berths, formed by converting seats. On a four-hour sector with a party of four that is enough; with a party of seven it is not, and the Hawker 1000 with four berths is the alternative in the same band.
Luggage. 1.36 m³, the smallest hold of the midsize group on our fleet page - against 2.28 m³ on the Hawker 750, 2.04 m³ on the Hawker 1000 and 4.25 m³ on the Legacy 450. This is the specification line to check first if the trip involves skis for Courchevel or golf bags for Malaga.
Crew. A flight attendant is carried, which on a three- to four-hour sector means catering served rather than boxed.
Cabin dimensions, berth counts, baggage volumes and the flight-attendant line are all taken from the specification tables published on this website, including the comparison figures quoted for other types.
The aircraft and the cabin as they are, and the seating plan underneath. These are the images we publish for this type.
These are our own figures for this aircraft, not somebody else’s estimate. They are whole-aircraft prices for the sectors named, at the passenger count shown, and they move with the date, the positioning of the aircraft and the fuel price on the day. Treat them as the size of the number rather than as a quotation: only a written quotation against your dates is a price. Our own guide rate for the type is EUR 3,800 per flight hour; the sector figures below are whole-aircraft prices and are not that rate multiplied by the flight time.
| Sector | Passengers | Price | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larnaca - Rome | 2 | 11000 € | 02:48 |
| Larnaca - Vienna | 6 | 12000 € | 03:00 |
| Nice - Ibiza | 4 | 6000 € | 01:30 |

These are the types our own fleet page groups alongside the Learjet 60XR. Every figure quoted below is from their specification tables on this website.
Listed at 4,074 km, 6-8 passengers, a 6.50 m cabin and 2.28 m³ of hold. Similar range, a metre more cabin, far more luggage.
See the Beechcraft Hawker 750 ›Listed at 3,889 km, 7-8 passengers and 2.55 m³ of hold in a 1.68 m wide cabin. Shorter legs, more seats and more luggage.
