Light jets

Learjet 75 and 45XR

The Learjet 45XR and the Learjet 75 share one airframe. Eight seats in a double club, a cabin almost 20 feet long, an enclosed lavatory at the back and a cruise near 460 knots, which is quick for a light jet. The 75 is the newer version, with new avionics, winglets and a refreshed cabin. Both carry a full group with bags on a two to three hour leg, and they are the light jets we reach for when eight people need to travel together.

How we estimate bag counts

We allow 60 to 80% of the listed baggage volume for packing. Assumed external dimensions: checked bag 28 × 20 × 12 in; golf travel bag 50 × 16 × 12 in; weekend bag 22 × 12 × 12 in. Counts are rounded down and show separate loads, not a combined allowance. Unspecified extra storage is excluded.

Volume estimates only. Bag shape, compartment doors, weight and fuel requirements determine the final fit. Tell us about mixed luggage, skis or bulky items.

Aircraft & pilots

What we review.

Read our standards →
  • Airframe year against the 2005 or newer standard. The 45XR runs from 2004 and the 75 from 2013, so nearly every one we source meets it, and the year is on your quote.
  • Crew time on type. The Learjet is quick and it rewards a crew who fly it often. We look for two pilots with real time on the 45 and the 75.
  • The load and the runway. Eight people with bags is the reason to pick this aircraft, and a pilot checks the fuel the leg needs against that load before we say it fits.

Fair questions

Learjet 75 and 45XR questions.

What is the difference between the Learjet 45XR and the 75?

The same airframe and cabin. The 75 came out in 2013 with new avionics, winglets, a refreshed interior and a little more range. On a corridor leg the two feel the same from the seat.

How much does a Learjet 75 charter cost?

Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range for the light jet category. Your quote will be exact and after the desk reviews the trip.

Can eight people really fly together on a Learjet 75?

Yes. Eight seats in two club groups is the standard layout, and the cabin is long enough that eight adults ride without crowding. Bags for eight take planning, so tell us what everyone is bringing.
