Model overview

The Learjet 40XR is the shorter-cabin member of the Learjet 40/45 platform and combines a flat-floor executive interior with the quick cruise associated with the brand. It is often compared with upper light jets for regional business travel, with the actual seat map and baggage plan determining whether its performance advantage fits the party.

Production history

Bombardier certified the Learjet 40 as a Model 45 variant in 2003 and introduced the XR refinement with improved hot-and-high and range performance. The platform shares major systems and cabin cross-section with the Learjet 45, creating maintenance and operating commonality, while production ended before the later Garmin-equipped Learjet 70 generation.

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

The cabin is approximately 17 feet 8 inches long and 5 feet 1 inch wide; the reviewed Execaire 40XR tail lists 4 feet 9 inches of height, 363 cubic feet of volume and 65 cubic feet of baggage. Its six-seat layout provides worktables, a forward refreshment center and aft lavatory, while cabin windows bring natural daylight to the flat-floor workspace. Compartment access, outlets, Wi-Fi, installed lighting and other amenities must still be confirmed for the proposed tail.

Range and performance

Performance and flight deck guidance

The reviewed Execaire 40XR tail publishes 1,992 nautical miles of range and 529 mph maximum cruise, equivalent to approximately 460 knots. Two Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines, a swept wing with winglets and Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics define the XR baseline; real nonstop capability and runway performance depend on payload, temperature, field elevation, winds, routing and carrier reserves.

Mission fit

Mission planning guidance

The 40XR may suit a six-person executive mission where a flat floor and speed matter more than midsize cabin height. Jet Partners can compare a specific Learjet 40XR with CJ4, Learjet 45 or midsize options, while the written proposal confirms the operator, tail, seating, amenities, firm price and 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 40XR

How many passengers can the Learjet 40XR carry?
Typically 6 executive passengers. 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 40XR?
Up to approximately 1,992 nm on the reviewed direct-carrier tail is the reviewed planning reference for this profile. Execaire Aviation aircraft reference; passenger load, routing, weather and reserves affect the trip. Winds, weather, routing, runway conditions, payload and required reserves determine practical nonstop capability.
What type of charter mission suits the Learjet 40XR?
The 40XR may suit a six-person executive mission where a flat floor and speed matter more than midsize cabin height. Jet Partners can compare a specific Learjet 40XR with CJ4, Learjet 45 or midsize options, while the written proposal confirms the operator, tail, seating, amenities, firm price and 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 40XR?
The reviewed category planning range is $4,750–$7,000 per billable hour. It is not a Learjet 40XR-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 40XR?
The cabin is approximately 17 feet 8 inches long and 5 feet 1 inch wide; the reviewed Execaire 40XR tail lists 4 feet 9 inches of height, 363 cubic feet of volume and 65 cubic feet of baggage. Its six-seat layout provides worktables, a forward refreshment center and aft lavatory, while cabin windows bring natural daylight to the flat-floor workspace. Compartment access, outlets, Wi-Fi, installed lighting and other amenities must still be confirmed for the proposed tail. 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 40XR 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.
