2000LXS

Issued by Elevate Jet.

July 1, 2026

Elevate Jet has added four aircraft to its managed fleet programme, spanning turboprop corporate transport to ultra-long-range heavy jets. The additions reflect continued growth in demand for professional aircraft management, and three of the four aircraft will become available for Part 135 charter in 2026.

Each aircraft brings a distinct mission profile, passenger capacity, and home base, reflecting the breadth of what Elevate Jet's management programme is built to support.

The Beechcraft King Air 360 is the latest evolution of the most successful turboprop aircraft programme in aviation history. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-60A engines producing 1,050 shaft horsepower each, the King Air 360 reaches a maximum cruise speed of 312 knots and offers a range of approximately 1,806 nautical miles.

This aircraft joins the Elevate Jet managed fleet as a dedicated corporate employee shuttle, based at Henderson Executive Airport (HND) in the Las Vegas metro area. Operating under the direct oversight of Elevate's management team, the aircraft provides its corporate owner with consistent, reliable short-haul transport, precisely the mission the King Air 360 was designed to excel at.

The King Air 360's Pro Line Fusion avionics suite features three touchscreen displays, synthetic vision and digital pressurisation, while the IS&S ThrustSense Autothrottle system automatically manages power settings for each engine, reducing pilot workload and enhancing safety. The cockpit is certified for single-pilot operation.

The aircraft has a maximum operating altitude of 35,000 feet, a balanced field length of 3,217 feet, and a landing distance of 3,161 feet, making it well suited for regional airports and shorter runways throughout the Southwest.

This aircraft is operating privately and is not currently available for charter.

The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS is one of the most capable and efficient large-cabin jets in private aviation. The Falcon 2000LXS offers a 4,000 nm range, unrivalled efficiency and the ability to access short and challenging runways that other jets in its class cannot reach.

The 2000LXS combines the widebody cross-section of larger Falcons, including the top-of-the-line 7X and 8X, with 4,000 nm range, unrivalled operating efficiency and an ability to access short and challenging runways more typical of smaller jets. Its nearest competitor consumes 20% more fuel and requires 20% more runway to land.

This aircraft will initially operate under Part 91 for its owner and will become available for Part 135 charter in the fourth quarter of 2026. Based in the Boston metro area, the aircraft will serve as an ideal platform for transatlantic routing and East Coast regional missions alike.

The Falcon 2000LXS climbs directly to 41,000 feet in 20 minutes, above most airline traffic and weather. Its top speed is Mach 0.86 with a typical cruise speed of Mach 0.80. At maximum takeoff weight, the aircraft has a balanced field length of 4,675 feet and requires 1,000 feet less runway than its closest competitor.

The cabin is outfitted with two generous seating zones, typically one with four large individual seats and a second with a conference or dining table, providing widebody comfort for up to 10 passengers on flights of up to eight hours.

The Bombardier Global Express XRS is one of the most capable ultra-long-range business jets ever produced. Powered by two Rolls-Royce BR710-A2-20 engines each providing 14,750 pounds of thrust, the Global Express XRS reaches a 37,000-foot altitude in just 20 minutes, with a long-range cruise speed of 470 knots and a high-speed cruise of 499 knots. The aircraft's impressive range of 6,503 nautical miles is made possible by an additional 1,486-pound fuel tank at the wing root.

This 14-seater aircraft is currently undergoing an extensive interior cabin modification and will be based in the Miami metro area. It will be available for Part 135 charter beginning in August 2026, emerging from its refurbishment as one of the most capable charter assets in Elevate Jet's fleet.

The cabin measures 8.17 feet wide, 6.25 feet high and 48 feet long. Passengers benefit from the Ultra Electronics active noise and vibration cancellation system, natural light through 20 windows and LED lighting adjustable at the touch of a button.

The Global Express XRS provides improved pressurisation with a 4,500-foot cabin altitude at 45,000 feet, a 25% improvement over the previous Global Express cabin, meaningfully reducing passenger fatigue on long-haul missions.

With a range exceeding 6,500 nautical miles, this aircraft connects Miami nonstop to London, São Paulo, Los Angeles and destinations across the Middle East and Asia.

The Bombardier Challenger 605 is one of the most proven large-cabin business jets in private aviation, a direct evolution of the Challenger 604, which was the best-selling aircraft in the heavy-iron category. Introduced in 2007, the 605 refines every element of its predecessor: larger and higher-positioned cabin windows, an upgraded galley, a fully restyled interior and a cockpit updated with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics with electronic flight bag capability, offering 55% more display area than the system it replaced.

Powered by two General Electric CF34-3B engines producing 8,729 pounds of thrust each, the Challenger 605 reaches a maximum range of 4,150 nautical miles and a cruise speed of Mach 0.82, making it a capable platform for transcontinental and transatlantic missions alike. Over 1,600 Challengers have collectively logged more than 7.3 million flight hours across 4.3 million flights, a reliability record that sets the platform apart in its class.

This aircraft joins the Elevate Jet managed fleet based in the Raleigh-Durham metro area (RDU), where it will serve its owner's corporate travel requirements alongside the Embraer Legacy 650 also based in the region. It will become available for Part 135 charter in the second half of 2026.

The cabin measures 8.17 feet wide and 6.08 feet high across 28.4 feet of cabin length, with a total volume of 1,150 cubic feet. The redesigned interior accommodates up to 14 passengers in a combination of club, divan and individual seating, with larger windows that bring meaningfully more natural light into the cabin than earlier Challenger variants.

Elevate Jet has managed private aircraft since 1995. The management programme is built on a single operating principle: the aircraft owner's mission always comes first.

Every managed aircraft benefits from Elevate Jet's full operations infrastructure, certified maintenance oversight, crew management, regulatory compliance, insurance coordination and 24/7 flight support. For owners who choose to make their aircraft available for charter, Elevate Jet's Part 135 certificate and Elevate Jet booking platform provide direct access to qualified charter demand, with every booking subject to the Elevate Assurance Pledge.

Elevate Jet holds ARGUS Platinum and Wyvern Wingman ratings, the highest independent safety certifications in private aviation, held by fewer than 5% of operators.
