đĻ What Is a Private Jet?
A private jet is a small jet airplane that a person or company hires or owns, instead of buying a single seat on an airline. Inside there are usually comfy armchairs and a small kitchen. It works just like a big airliner, with jet engines and a pilot and co-pilot, but it carries only a handful of passengers.
