From what I found w/ some quick Googling the Colts charter a Boeing 767, so it's a wide body aircraft. Maybe some other teams fly something newer like B787s or A330 Neos, which could be an availability thing as I'm sure the options in a city w/ a large, international airport are much more than in a town w/ a smaller airport.

These chartered aircraft are usually old outdated aircraft that were gonig to be put out to pasture. Some teams players complained that the seats were so old that they still had ash trays.
