RAI Jets, a Kalamazoo-based Part 135 operator and aircraft charter and management company, has added a Beechcraft Premier I to its fleet.
The light jet rounds out RAI Jets’ existing fleet, which includes a turboprop, midsize, and super-midsize jet.
“The addition of the Premier I to our fleet fulfills our mission to provide a full spectrum of aircraft to customers for their needs,” said David Riley, director of operations at RAI Jets. “The Premier I jet is classified as a light jet, but it offers many advantages of much larger aircraft.”
One of those advantages is a larger interior than other aircraft in its class. The cabin of the Premier I features a height of five feet, five inches, and a width of five feet six inches, just two or three inches short of the average cabin size for midsize jets.
The ample headroom and shoulder space create a comfortable environment for up to six passengers.
The Beechcraft Premier I interior is also designed with aesthetics in mind, with ergonomic seating, generous storage space, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light.
“We envision the Premier I will become one of our most requested aircraft because of its speed, luxury interior, fuel efficiency, and versatility,” said Riley. “We welcome it to the RAI Jets charter fleet.”
