Business jets in commercial traffic

I read it some place that for example Virgin is considering to use bizjets on certain routes. I never travel in first but I think I’d rather travel in large passenger airplane than in some ‘small’ bizjet over these long distances.
Are these bizjet routes how common?

There was some talk after Concorde was grounded that some company would wet-lease a bizjet- The Gulfstream Challenger?- to shuttle ‘R’ class pax from London/Paris to Washington/New York quickly.

Sir Richard Branson has always wanted a concorde, he may be looking at this instead, now.

Bizjets routes are not comman at all. Only a few airlines have Bizjets. Unites used to have 2 Gufstreams which they sold of some time back. Bizjets are not for a airline, for small routes airlines mainly operate commuters like ATRs and Saabs.
