The Learjet 60XR is the midsize member of the Learjet family, offering a stand-up cabin, strong transcontinental range and the rapid climb the line is known for. It reaches 43,000 feet in under 19 minutes.
A fact that flatters the type: The 60XR is one of the fastest-climbing civil jets ever built, its Pratt & Whitney engines and fighter-heritage wing reaching cruise altitude in a hurry. That character is part of what you are chartering, not just a cabin.
Range is a quiet strength of the Bombardier Learjet 60XR: close to 2405 nautical miles links city pairs such as Paris to Riyadh without touching down, the kind of reach that reshapes a schedule. It also opens up direct routings the airlines simply do not fly. That freedom, more than any single feature, is why clients return to it for the longer trips.
Reliability is why we place clients on the Bombardier Learjet 60XR: powered by 2x Pratt & Whitney PW305A, it is a mature, well-supported design, and the smoothest charter is always the one that leaves on schedule. Redundant systems and a deep global spares network keep aircraft-on-ground surprises rare. When a trip has to happen, it is the sort of aircraft you bet on.
Airport flexibility is a real advantage of the Bombardier Learjet 60XR: it slips into tight, close-in runways that larger jets must overfly, turning a long transfer into a short one. With slots easier to secure at private terminals, departures stay on your clock rather than an airline's. Few things make a charter feel more private than watching it taxi straight to the FBO door.
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR pairs its airframe with Honeywell Primus 1000, and that flight-deck capability means fewer weather delays and more direct routings on the average charter. Datalink and enhanced vision let crews pick the smoothest altitude and slip into airfields others divert from. It is a layer of quiet capability it carries on every flight.
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR is efficient over the sectors it flies most, and lower fuel burn and running costs feed straight into a keener charter price, especially on a well-timed one-way or empty-leg booking. You get the cabin and the range without paying to move a larger, thirstier jet. For value per mile, the type is one of the smarter picks in its class.
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR, weighed fairly, including the caveats:
The Bombardier Learjet 60XR cabin is generous for midsize jet work, though it will not pretend to the walk-about width of a heavy jet. For most trips that is the right trade, and where a client truly needs a stateroom we point them up a class.
No single aircraft wins on every count, and the Bombardier Learjet 60XR trades a little of one virtue for a lot of another; the trick is matching that trade to your actual route and party, which is exactly what we do.
As alternatives to the Bombardier Learjet 60XR, it is worth weighing the Bombardier Learjet 45XR and the Bombardier Challenger 300, both able aircraft in the same bracket. Broadly the Bombardier Learjet 45XR is the quicker of the two, while the Bombardier Learjet 60XR has the stronger short-field manners, so the right pick comes down to your exact route, party and budget, which our advisors are glad to lay out side by side.
In short, few aircraft do transcontinental and medium-haul charter as gracefully as the Bombardier Learjet 60XR, and where it is the right tool we place it on fully vetted, certified partners at a fixed all-in price, with an answer back inside 30 minutes.
