What the Learjet 60 is like

A fast-climbing midsize jet with a stand-up cabin for 7 and one of the quickest cruise speeds in its class (Mach 0.79-0.81), ideal for 2-4 hour missions like New York-Miami or Toronto-Dallas, with US transcontinental reach under light loads. Later 60XR models add a refreshed cabin and avionics under the same charter profile.

Where the Learjet 60 flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 2,405 nm range. We mark a route near the limit once it uses more than 85 percent of the published range, because a full cabin or a headwind can turn it into a fuel stop.

Time at cruise leaves out taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds, so a real block time runs longer.

Questions

Learjet 60: charter questions

Typically 7 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 2,405 nautical miles (4,454 km, 2,768 statute miles), or roughly 5 hours at its typical cruise speed of 466 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 466 knots, about 536 mph or 863 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
Not on its published range. London to Dubai is about 2,978 nautical miles, beyond the Learjet 60’s 2,405, so plan a fuel stop or a longer-range aircraft. It does fly New York to Nassau (964 nm) nonstop with room to spare.
A midsize jet. Taller cabins and longer legs than a light jet, for mid-length domestic trips. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Hawker 800XP, Cessna Citation Latitude, Cessna Citation XLS+ and Hawker 900XP.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
