About the Learjet Bombardier Learjet 60

The Learjet 60 is a stretched mid-size business jet that Bombardier introduced in 1993 as an evolution of the earlier Learjet 55, featuring a longer fuselage to seat up to eight passengers and more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A turbofans. It carved out a niche in the corporate aviation market by offering transcontinental range—roughly 2,400 nautical miles—combined with the trademark Learjet speed and handling that made the brand famous. The aircraft cruises at Mach 0.81 and can reach 51,000 feet, putting it comfortably above most weather and airline traffic, a capability that appeals to charter operators and corporate flight departments seeking efficiency and flexibility on medium-haul routes.

Production ran until 2007, when Bombardier replaced the type with the Learjet 60XR, which offered improved range and avionics. Despite being out of production for nearly two decades, the Learjet 60 remains a workhorse in the charter and air ambulance sectors, prized for its reliability, relatively low operating costs, and the ability to access shorter runways that larger jets cannot. The type's balanced performance—fast enough to compete with larger cabin-class jets, yet small enough to be economical—has kept it relevant in a market that has largely moved toward super-midsize and light jets with more modern systems.
