Clay Lacy Aviation is continuing to expand its private jet charter fleet in Seattle with a Citation X at Boeing Field and a Challenger 300 at Paine Field in nearby Snohomish County. Both of these super midsize jets provide range and speed for nonstop travel throughout North America, Hawaii and parts of Mexico and the Caribbean. They each feature seating for eight, wi-fi, satellite phones and other amenities for maximum comfort and productivity. Jet charter clients will experience Clay Lacy's personal service and appreciate the company's Clean Check Health and Safety Standard. These two charter aircraft join the fleet's Dassault Falcon 2000LX and Challenger 350 at Boeing Field and a Hawker 900XP at Tacoma Narrows airport.

One of the fastest super midsize business jets ever produced, this eight-passenger Citation X flies at speeds up to 525 kts in a peaceful, light-filled cabin with tan leather executive seating and dark wood burled veneer accents. Communications and entertainment amenities include domestic wi-fi, international satellite phone and entertainment centre. Each passenger has a personal display monitor and easy control over the cabin environment. The aircraft features a fully stocked mini galley and an enclosed lavatory in the aft cabin.

Soaring above the weather at 45,000 ft, the eight-passenger Challenger 300 flies 3,100 nm at speeds of up to 450 kts. The quiet, expansive, airy cabin offers the feel of a larger aircraft. Advanced communication and entertainment technologies include high-speed wi-fi with streaming capability, domestic and international satellite phone and Airshow. There is also a full-featured galley, inflight luggage access and an enclosed lavatory. Charter clients from cities like Bellevue and Mercer Island will save time and hassle thanks to its convenient Paine Field location.

Clay Lacy also offers three other Seattle-area private charter jets to meet the domestic and international travel needs of clients across the Pacific Northwest.

A 10-passenger, long-range Falcon 2000LX has a range of 4,000 nm and can fly at up to 478 kts. It is equipped with domestic and international wi-fi and satellite phone, and Gogo Vision streaming entertainment. There are two separate seating areas, a complete galley and an enclosed lavatory with vanity.

Also based at Boeing Field, Clay Lacy's spacious, super midsize Challenger 350 seats eight on fast, nonstop charter journeys up to 3,200 nm. Seating eight passengers and based at Tacoma Narrows, a roomy Hawker 900XP midsize jet features high-speed wi-fi, a refreshment galley and enclosed lavatory.
