The Learjet 70 is the last and most modern of the small Learjets, and in Palm Beach it suits a party of four to six who want speed and a current flight deck. Roughly 1,873 nautical miles of range out of KDJT, 464 knots of cruise, and Garmin G5000 avionics up front.
Bombardier updated the Learjet 40XR into the Learjet 70 in 2013, with Honeywell TFE731-40BR engines, new winglets and the Garmin G5000 touchscreen flight deck. Six seats, roughly 1,873 nautical miles of range and 464 knots of cruise. Production ended in 2016, so the examples flying charter today are among the youngest airframes in the class.

Why the Learjet 70 Fits Palm Beach
Four to six people with a fixed arrival time. The Learjet 70 is among the fastest light jets available here, and on the 900 nautical mile Teterboro leg it will beat an older Citation by twenty to thirty minutes.
Winter routing north. January and February departures from KDJT for New York at roughly 900 nautical miles or Boston at roughly 1,040 often need altitude and reserve fuel to work around a front, and this aircraft has both with six aboard.
Short-notice season work. Palm Beach fills between Thanksgiving and Easter, and a newer airframe like this is often the one still free at forty-eight hours’ notice when the older light jets are committed.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
