Light jets

Learjet 75 and 45XR

One airframe, two names. The Learjet 45XR and the Learjet 75 carry eight seats in a double club, a cabin almost 20 feet long, an enclosed lavatory at the back and a cruise near 460 knots. The 75 is the newer one, with new avionics, winglets and a refreshed cabin. They are the light jets we reach for when eight people travel together.

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.

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 in 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?

Enter your airports and dates for light jet starting prices by email. We review the Learjet 75 options for your itinerary and confirm the final price before booking.

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.
