Learjet 45XR

The Learjet 45XR, manufactured by Bombardier, is a transcontinental midsize jet accommodating up to 8 passengers with a range of 5,186 km (2,800 nm). It cruises at 833 km/h with swift cruise performance, featuring a comfortable semi-stand-up cabin measuring 19 × 5.7 × 5.7 ft (approximately 617 cu ft of cabin volume) with in-flight WiFi connectivity. With charter rates starting from $5,500 per hour, the Learjet 45XR stands out among midsize jet aircraft for its combination of performance and value — ideal for travelers seeking a dependable private aviation solution.

Midsize jets strike the perfect balance between range, cabin comfort, and operating economics. With a typical range of 2,800 nautical miles and seating for 8 passengers, they handle transcontinental routes with ease — New York to Los Angeles, London to Istanbul, or Dubai to Mumbai nonstop.

The midsize cabin offers a meaningful step up in comfort: a flat floor, full-service galley, enclosed lavatory, and enough width for face-to-face seating configurations. Passengers enjoy a more spacious environment for working, dining, or resting during longer flights.

Midsize jets are the workhorse of private aviation, favored by frequent flyers who need consistent coast-to-coast capability without the operating costs of heavy jets. They represent the sweet spot in the private jet market for both charter and membership programs.
