| Baggage | Weight limits, size rules, and fees | 53 cu ft — no restrictions or fees |

A Learjet Like No Other
The Learjet 60XR is the final evolution of the most iconic name in private aviation. Where the original Learjet 23 launched an entire industry in 1964, the 60XR refined six decades of engineering into one definitive midsize jet.
Two Pratt & Whitney PW305A engines deliver the sharp climb rate and raw speed that made the Learjet name legendary. From brake release to 51,000 feet, the 60XR reaches its ceiling faster than any competitor in the midsize class — and at that altitude, it cruises above all commercial traffic, all weather, and nearly all turbulence.
The cabin seats seven to eight passengers in a club layout with fold-out work surfaces, an enclosed lavatory, and 53 cubic feet of baggage space. This is a jet built for executives who value performance and time above all else.

Why Charter This Aircraft
Beyond comfort — private charter delivers measurable advantages in time, flexibility, and productivity.
Legendary Learjet Speed
Mach 0.81 maximum speed makes the Learjet 60XR one of the fastest midsize jets ever built. The Learjet brand is synonymous with performance — and the 60XR delivers on that legacy.
Highest Ceiling in Class
At 51,000 feet, the Learjet 60XR climbs higher than any other midsize jet. Above commercial traffic, above weather systems, above turbulence. A smoother, faster flight at every altitude.
The Learjet Name
Learjet defined private aviation. The brand carried presidents, CEOs, and rock stars for six decades. The 60XR is the last true Learjet — the final chapter of an unmatched aviation legacy.
2,405 Nautical Mile Range
Coast-to-coast capability with fuel to spare. New York to Denver nonstop, Miami to Los Angeles, or Boston to the Caribbean — the 60XR covers the routes that matter.
Executive Cabin for 8-9
Seats up to 8-9 passengers with typical charter configurations seating 7-8 in club arrangement. Fold-out tables, enclosed lavatory, and 53 cu ft of baggage capacity.
Sharp Climb Performance
The Learjet 60XR reaches cruise altitude faster than any midsize competitor. Less time climbing means more time at optimal speed — and less fuel burned getting there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Precise answers to the most common questions about chartering this aircraft.
Learjet 60XR charter rates typically range from $5,500 to $7,500 per flight hour. A short regional flight of 1-1.5 hours costs approximately $11,000-$17,000 all-in. Medium-range domestic flights of 2-3 hours run $17,000-$30,000. Transcontinental flights of 3-5 hours cost $30,000-$50,000. Maximum-range missions reach $50,000-$70,000. All quotes include aircraft, crew, fuel, landing fees, handling, and catering.
The Learjet 60XR is certified to a service ceiling of 51,000 feet — the highest of any midsize business jet. At this altitude, the aircraft flies above virtually all commercial airline traffic (typically 35,000-39,000 ft), above most weather systems, and in smoother air with less turbulence. This also means more direct routing, less air traffic congestion, and a quieter, more comfortable ride for passengers.
The Learjet 60XR seats up to 8-9 passengers. Typical charter configurations seat 7-8 in a comfortable club arrangement with fold-out work tables. The cabin measures 17 ft 7 in long, 5 ft 1 in wide, and 5 ft 7 in tall. An enclosed lavatory and 53 cu ft baggage compartment are standard.
Three things set the Learjet 60XR apart. First, its 51,000 ft ceiling is the highest in the midsize class — no competitor comes close. Second, its Pratt & Whitney PW305A engines deliver a sharp climb rate that reaches cruise altitude minutes faster than rivals. Third, the Learjet name carries six decades of aviation heritage. This was the brand that made private jet travel a reality, and the 60XR is its final, most refined expression.
Yes. Although production ended in 2012 when Bombardier discontinued the Learjet line, many Learjet 60 and 60XR aircraft remain in active charter and corporate service worldwide. These aircraft are maintained to current FAA standards with full compliance on all Airworthiness Directives. Bombardier continues to provide parts and technical support. Many operators have invested in avionics upgrades and cabin refurbishments to keep their fleets current.
The Learjet 60XR has a maximum range of 2,405 nautical miles with NBAA IFR reserves. This covers routes like New York to Denver, Miami to Los Angeles, Chicago to the Caribbean, or Boston to Dallas nonstop. Actual range depends on passenger count, baggage weight, and wind conditions. For missions beyond the 60XR range, we can source larger Bombardier aircraft.
Both are proven midsize jets with similar range. The Learjet 60XR has a higher ceiling (51,000 ft vs 41,000 ft), faster climb rate, and slightly higher top speed (Mach 0.81 vs 0.80). The Hawker 800 offers a wider cabin (5 ft 9 in vs 5 ft 1 in) and a longer cabin (21 ft 4 in vs 17 ft 7 in), with similar passenger capacity (up to 9 vs 8-9). The Learjet 60 is the performance choice; the Hawker 800 is the space choice. Charter rates are comparable.
Yes. Learjet 60 empty legs become available when aircraft reposition after one-way charters. Discounts typically range from 25-75% off standard rates. The Learjet 60 operates on popular domestic corridors, so repositioning flights occur regularly.
