This specific airframe is configured to accommodate up to 11 occupants, supporting typical light business jet cabin layouts for short- to medium-range corporate transport. With a published range of 1,960 nm and a cruise speed of 425 kts, the aircraft is suitable for nonstop regional and transcontinental missions within its fuel and weight limits.
