Learjet 60
The midsize jet that climbs and cruises like something bigger. It gets to altitude quickly, cruises near 460 knots and covers about 2,400 nautical miles, so a three hour midsize trip runs a little shorter. The cabin stands up for anyone under about five foot eight, with a club of four up front and two seats behind, and the lavatory has a door. Clients pick it when speed matters more than cabin width.

How we estimate bag counts
We allow 40 to 55% of the listed baggage volume for cases and 30 to 40% for golf bags, which pack poorly in nose and tail compartments. 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.
Include your baggage in a quote request →- The airframe year. Many Learjet 60s were built before 2005, so the tail either meets the standard or gets the written exception review: inspection history, recent heavy checks, and avionics and interior updates.
- Runway length against the load. At full weight the Learjet 60 needs more runway than the Excel or the Hawkers, so at a field of about 5,000 feet, like Destin Executive, a pilot checks the fuel and the passenger count before saying yes.
- Baggage. The bay is about 48 cubic feet behind the lavatory. Golf bags fit; a long ski bag or a full set of hard cases for eight may not. We ask about bags before we quote it.

Learjet 60 questions.
Is the Learjet 60 a midsize jet?
Yes. It has a stand up cabin at about 5 ft 8 in, an enclosed lavatory and 7 to 8 seats. It is narrower than a Hawker and faster than either the Hawker or the Excel. Think of it as the midsize jet that trades a little cabin room for speed and range.
How much does a Learjet 60 charter cost?
Explore the midsize missions on this page, then enter your own airports and dates to receive starting prices for your complete trip by email. These are planning minimums; final prices may be higher. We review the available aircraft, positioning, taxes and fees and confirm the total before booking.
Can a Learjet 60 fly nonstop from Naples to New York?
Yes. Naples to Teterboro is about 960 nautical miles, well inside the Learjet 60's range of about 2,400 nautical miles. It can also fly Nashville to either coast nonstop with a normal load. Where it needs care is a short runway at full fuel, and a pilot checks that before we quote.
