Aircraft decision brief

Where the Learjet 70 fits

Model overview

About the Learjet 70

The Learjet 70 modernized the 40XR platform with a touchscreen-controlled Garmin G5000 flight deck, TFE731-40BR engines, canted winglets and a refreshed cabin. It preserves the rapid climb and high-altitude performance associated with the Learjet family.

Production was discontinued in 2016 after only thirteen aircraft were built. The model offers modern capability, but its very small fleet makes configuration, support and future liquidity unusually important.
