Model overview

The Learjet 45XR refines the original 45 with higher-rated engines and improved performance while retaining its long, flat-floor light-jet cabin. It is commonly considered for executive groups that want double-club seating and brisk cruise, with tail-specific baggage, runway and amenity checks remaining essential.

Production history

Bombardier introduced the 45XR during the 2000s as the performance development of the Model 45, using TFE731-20BR engines for improved hot-and-high and range capability. The XR remained in production until the newer Learjet 75 generation, and many examples have since received cabin, connectivity and avionics updates that should be documented in the proposal.

Overview and production sources

Light Jet category-level whole-aircraft planning range; not a live offer or a model-specific quote. Pricing was reviewed August 29, 2026 and the current planning policy is effective through November 30, 2026. Only a current written proposal confirms the aircraft, direct carrier, inclusions, conditional charges and total trip price.

Cabin and baggage

Cabin layout and baggage guidance

Bombardier's archived 45XR factsheet lists a 410-cubic-foot cabin approximately 19 feet 9 inches long, 5 feet 1 inch wide and 4 feet 11 inches high. Eight individual seats in a double-club arrangement, folding worktables, a forward refreshment center and aft lavatory create a useful business layout, with windows bringing natural light beside each club group. Approximately 65 cubic feet of combined baggage is a model-level planning reference, while a reviewed Clay Lacy tail confirms that seat tracking, power, phone, Wi-Fi, installed lighting and catering equipment depend on the offered aircraft.

Range and performance

Performance and flight deck guidance

Bombardier's archived 45XR factsheet publishes 1,985 nautical miles with eight passengers and 2,087 nautical miles with four passengers, plus 432 KTAS long-range and 465 KTAS high-speed cruise. Twin Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines, the swept wing and Primus 1000 avionics define the factory aircraft; performance improvements do not remove the need for carrier calculations of payload, runway, weather, routing and reserves.

Mission fit

Mission planning guidance

A Learjet 45XR can fit a regional or selected longer domestic mission for a group that values a flat floor and eight executive seats. Jet Partners can compare the exact XR with a Learjet 75 or midsize option, and the direct carrier's written proposal confirms the aircraft, schedule, firm price and operating terms.

Confirm these details in writing

  • Aircraft, cabin layout, passenger count and baggage fit.
  • Named direct air carrier and available trip-specific safety information.
  • Runway, payload, weather, routing and possible technical-stop limits.
  • Total price, inclusions, conditional charges and cancellation terms.

The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the proposal retains operational control and makes the final flight-operational decisions.

Questions about chartering the Learjet 45XR

How many passengers can the Learjet 45XR carry?
Typically 8 executive passengers in a double-club layout. That is a model-level reference, not a promise for every tail. The approved seat map, required crew, payload, baggage and mission conditions determine the passenger count that the direct carrier can accept.
What is the charter range of the Learjet 45XR?
Approximately 1,985 nm with 8 passengers; up to 2,087 nm with 4 passengers is the reviewed planning reference for this profile. Archived Bombardier 45XR factsheet under stated passenger assumptions; carrier documentation controls the mission. Winds, weather, routing, runway conditions, payload and required reserves determine practical nonstop capability.
What type of charter mission suits the Learjet 45XR?
A Learjet 45XR can fit a regional or selected longer domestic mission for a group that values a flat floor and eight executive seats. Jet Partners can compare the exact XR with a Learjet 75 or midsize option, and the direct carrier's written proposal confirms the aircraft, schedule, firm price and operating terms. The direct carrier must still approve the actual aircraft, payload, airports, weather, routing and required reserves for the requested trip.
How much does it cost to charter the Learjet 45XR?
The reviewed category planning range is $4,750–$7,000 per billable hour. It is not a Learjet 45XR-specific offer. The written trip price depends on the actual aircraft, positioning, billable time and minimums. Airports, taxes, fees and crew requirements also affect the total.
What cabin amenities are available on the Learjet 45XR?
Bombardier's archived 45XR factsheet lists a 410-cubic-foot cabin approximately 19 feet 9 inches long, 5 feet 1 inch wide and 4 feet 11 inches high. Eight individual seats in a double-club arrangement, folding worktables, a forward refreshment center and aft lavatory create a useful business layout, with windows bringing natural light beside each club group. Approximately 65 cubic feet of combined baggage is a model-level planning reference, while a reviewed Clay Lacy tail confirms that seat tracking, power, phone, Wi-Fi, installed lighting and catering equipment depend on the offered aircraft. Those are model-level and reviewed-aircraft references; every required seat, lavatory, power, connectivity, entertainment, catering and baggage feature must be confirmed on the proposed tail.
Who operates a flight on the Learjet 45XR arranged through Jet Partners?
Jet Partners acts as a charter services arranger and does not operate the aircraft. The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the written proposal provides the flight, retains operational control and makes final safety and operational decisions.
