Up to 5 in a typical executive layout. Some aircraft are configured differently, so we confirm the exact seating for your trip when we quote.

London to Dubai is about 2,979 nm. That is beyond its range, so it needs one fuel stop.

London to New York is about 2,986 nm. Flying west into the prevailing winds it behaves more like 3,434 nm. It normally makes one fuel stop, often in Iceland, Ireland or Canada. For nonstop transatlantic flights we suggest a larger, longer-range jet.
