Questions
How many passengers does the Learjet 45XR seat?
Up to 8 in a typical executive layout. Some aircraft are configured differently, so we confirm the exact seating for your trip when we quote.
How far can the Learjet 45XR fly?
The manufacturer quotes a range of about 2,000 nautical miles. With a normal load and reserves we plan on about 1,700 nm nonstop; winds, passengers and luggage all change it.
Can the Learjet 45XR fly London to Dubai nonstop?
London to Dubai is about 2,979 nm. That is beyond its range, so it needs one fuel stop.
Can the Learjet 45XR cross the Atlantic?
London to New York is about 2,986 nm. Flying west into the prevailing winds it behaves more like 3,434 nm. It normally makes one fuel stop, often in Iceland, Ireland or Canada. For nonstop transatlantic flights we suggest a larger, longer-range jet.

It typically cruises at about 460 knots (852 km/h). London to Nice takes about 1h 35m.
How much luggage fits on the Learjet 45XR?
