5. Boeing Business Jet MAX 9

Max. speed: Mach 0.79

The Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) MAX 9 is the best combination of speed and luxury. Although it is not the fastest jet, it is worthy of mention due to its size, which is complemented by an above-average speed of Mach 0.79. This long-haul business jet, based on the well-known Boeing 737 MAX series, undoubtedly and easily combines speed with a spacious and luxurious cabin.

The cabin, which normally seats 220 passengers in a commercial airliner, provides enough space for 19 passengers to relax, work and entertain. According to Paramount Business Jets, it would cost $68.8 million to purchase a new aircraft, or $18,600 per hour of lease.

4. Dassault Falcon 7X/8X

Max. speed: Mach 0.9

Dassault Aviation's Falcon series has long been synonymous with speed, and the Falcon 7X and 8X continue this legacy. These French-made jets are capable of reaching speeds of approximately Mach 0.90. They offer a winning combination of performance and elegance.

The 7X, first introduced in 2005, is a cantilevered tri-jet monoplane with a high sweep wing. Discerning travelers can charter the 7X for approximately $7,500 to $8,500 or the 8X for approximately $9,500 to $12,500 per hour with evoJets.

3. Cessna Citation X

Max. speed: Mach 0.92

The Cessna Citation X aircraft of the Citation family of manufacturers has earned a reputation as one of the fastest business jets in the sky. With a cruising speed of Mach 0.92, this elegant and powerful aircraft can quickly cover long distances.

According to Paramount Business Jets, the Citation X can take passengers from New York to Los Angeles or Seattle to Miami as much as 35 minutes faster than others in its class. The company also states that hourly charter rates for the aircraft start at $5100 per hour, while the rates of another provider, Stratos Jet Charters, are in the range of $8736 per hour.
