Capable of carrying large groups of people or heavy loads of cargo, jet airliners are specifically suited to medium to long-range flights. The wide variety of jet airliner types available encompass diverse performance characteristics. Small jet airliners are designated "regional" airliners and are best suited for mid-range domestic transport, while larger jet airliners can carry hundreds of passengers over thousands of non-stop miles. Jet airliners are typically powered by two to four jet engines and feature pressurized passenger cabins for added comfort, safety and performance. Jet airliners can be configured in a variety of ways to cater to executives or to maximize passenger capacity. Executive configurations often feature multiple berths, lavatories, a gym, shower, meeting room or study, and other luxurious appointments, while economy-configured aircraft utilize a layout similar to a commercial airliner to maximize passenger capacity.
