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?

RE: Business jets in commercial traffic
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.
