The longest legs in private aviation, flown nonstop: New York to Hong Kong, London to Sydney with one stop. These are the flagships.
Ultra-long-range jets fly 6,500–8,000+ nautical miles nonstop with the largest, quietest cabins in business aviation. They erase connections on the world's longest city pairs and represent the top of the market — and the top of the price scale.

At flagship level the aircraft is a residence and an office combined. Owners typically run a management company and a private technology office in parallel — one for the aircraft, one for the secure connectivity, devices and data that travel with the principal.
Tell us the mission — route, dates, passengers, ownership vs charter — and we route you to vetted operators and brokers, then handle the technology and security side as your private office. One confidential brief; no spam, no broker storm.

Once you fly private, the cabin becomes an office: Starlink/Ka-band connectivity, crew devices, scheduling and payments — all targets. Obsidian Helm is the private technology & cybersecurity office that secures the jet, the household and the ventures behind it. Remote, discreet, under NDA.
Yacht, Jet & EstateThe Bombardier Global 8000 (8,000 nm) and Gulfstream G700 (7,750 nm) lead in 2026, with the G650ER (7,500 nm) close behind. They fly the world's longest city pairs nonstop.
New flagships run roughly $70M–$80M+. Charter is about $11,000–$17,000 per flight hour; annual fixed operating for owners is $2.5M–$4M+.
Both are flagship ultra-long-range jets with exceptional range and cabins; they differ on cabin design, range and avionics. The right choice depends on routes, cabin preference and how they fly your specific missions.
Yes — ultra-long-range flagships are designed precisely for the world's longest city pairs, including New York–Hong Kong and London–Sydney with at most one stop.
