About this aircraft
The Learjet 45XR adds performance improvements to the 45 cabin—better climb, hot/high margins, and day-to-day operational flexibility charter operators value.
Fleets often standardize on XR airframes for payload confidence versus baseline 45s. It remains a common light-to-super-light Lear in empty-leg markets where the Learjet feel still sells trips to discerning travelers.
Choose 45XR for the most capable classic 45-family mission without stepping into midsize Learjet 60 economics.
