Overview

The Learjet 75 Liberty at a glance

The 75 is the only light jet certified to Part 25, the same standard as commercial airliners, which means a two-pilot cockpit, tougher structural margins and a stand-up-worthy fuselage. The Liberty variant, launched in 2019, kept all of that but simplified the cabin to a six-seat Executive Suite plus a two-seat Club-Aft, saving 3.9 million USD off the list price of the original 75. Charter clients pick it for two missions: high-altitude legs over weather (the 51,000-foot ceiling really works, and the Garmin G5000 handles it beautifully), and short, hot-and-high or wet-runway operations where the class-leading 700 m landing distance is decisive. Production ended in March 2022 when Bombardier retired the Learjet brand, so today's fleet is entirely pre-owned but well supported.

Aircraft Range Pax Top speed Cabin H × W Notes
Embraer Phenom 300 3,650 km 7 464 kt 1.5 × 1.55 m The most-delivered business jet in the world for a decade. Best cabin in class, single-pilot approved, superb short-runway performance.
Cessna Citation CJ3+ 3,778 km 6 416 kt 1.45 × 1.47 m The value pick. Very efficient, easy to charter cheaply, cabin is a touch narrower than the Phenom.
Learjet 75 Liberty This model 3,852 km 6 465 kt 1.5 × 1.56 m Fastest light jet in the sky, 51,000 ft ceiling, only flat-floor cabin in class. Bombardier ended production in 2022 so the fleet is used-only but young.

Questions

Learjet 75 Liberty FAQ

How many passengers can the Learjet 75 Liberty seat?
Six in the standard Executive Suite double-club layout. The original Learjet 75 seated up to nine with a belted lavatory, but the Liberty simplification dropped that to a firm six-seat cabin in exchange for the lower list price.
What is the Learjet 75 hourly charter rate?
European operators typically quote 3,600 to 5,000 EUR per hour ex-tax. North-American rates run 3,700 to 4,800 USD per hour. It sits at the top of the light-jet price band because of the Honeywell engines' higher fuel burn (200 gph) and the Part 25 two-pilot requirement.
How much does a Learjet 75 Liberty cost?
Factory-new list price at launch in 2019 was 9.9 million USD. Production ended in March 2022, so today's market is used-only: a well-maintained Liberty (2019 to 2022 build) typically trades between 5.5 and 8.5 million USD depending on hours, engine programme status and interior condition.
What does it cost to own and operate a Learjet 75 Liberty?
Fixed costs run about 620,000 to 820,000 USD per year (crew, hangar, insurance, Bombardier Smart Services if enrolled). Variable costs are around 2,300 to 2,900 USD per hour including fuel, maintenance reserves and landing fees. At 350 hours per year, all-in operating cost lands near 1.4 to 1.8 million USD, roughly on par with the Phenom 300 but 20 to 30 percent above the CJ3+.
How many crew does the Learjet 75 need?
Two pilots, always. Unlike the Phenom 300 and Citation CJ3+, the Learjet 75 is certified to Part 25 (transport category), which does not allow single-pilot operations. No cabin attendant is required.
Where is the Learjet 75 built?
The Learjet 75 was built by Bombardier's Learjet division at the Wichita, Kansas facility in the United States, with airframe subassemblies from Bombardier sites in Canada. All production ended in March 2022 when Bombardier retired the Learjet brand.
When did the Learjet 75 first fly?
The Learjet 75 first flew in 2012 and entered service in 2013. The Liberty variant was announced in 2019, first flew that same year, and started customer deliveries in 2020. The final Learjet 75 Liberty rolled off the line in March 2022.
Is the Learjet 75 still in production?
No. Bombardier announced the end of Learjet production in February 2021 and delivered the final Learjet 75 Liberty in March 2022, closing a 60-year Learjet story. Bombardier continues to support the fleet through its service centres, so parts and maintenance remain widely available.
What engines does the Learjet 75 use?
Two Honeywell TFE731-40BR turbofans, each producing 3,850 lbf of thrust. They are known for reliability and high-altitude performance but burn more fuel (about 200 gph) than the Williams engines in the Citation CJ3+, which is why hourly charter rates run higher.
How does the Learjet 75 compare to the Phenom 300 and Citation CJ3+?
The Learjet has the longest and only-flat-floor cabin in the class, the highest service ceiling (51,000 ft) and the fastest top speed (Mach 0.81). The Phenom 300 has a wider cabin and lower operating cost. The CJ3+ has the lowest hourly rate and best availability. Pick the Learjet when speed, altitude, or a stand-up flat-floor cabin matters more than budget.
Can the Learjet 75 use short runways?
Landing yes, takeoff less so. Landing distance at typical weight is a class-leading 700 m, which opens up short-runway destinations most peers cannot use. Takeoff distance at MTOW is 1,353 m, so hot-and-high or short-runway departures may require a fuel offload.
What is the baggage capacity?
About 1,840 litres or 65 cubic feet split between a 50 cu ft external heated compartment and a 15 cu ft internal cabin locker. Payload with full fuel is more generous than the CJ3+, comfortable for six passengers with skiing or golf gear.
