What is the Learjet 60 / 60XR?
The Learjet 60 is a midsize twin-engine business jet built by Bombardier's Learjet unit in Wichita. It grew out of the Learjet 55, with a longer cabin and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines. The first was certified in 1993. The updated 60XR, with a Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck, followed in 2007 and was built until 2013. Most seat 6 to 8 and fly about 2,292 nm with 4 passengers. The figures on this page are for the 60XR.
About 2,292 nm with 4 passengers and NBAA IFR reserves.
Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines of 4,600 lb thrust each.
Certified to 51,000 ft, with a high-speed cruise of 466 knots.
Cabin 17 ft 8 in (5.38 m) long, 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m) wide and 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m) tall, the largest of any Learjet of its time.
6 fly with 1 operator holding a German air operator certificate, based in Nuremberg. Altivo Jets books them through these licensed operators.

Fuel burn and CO2
The Learjet 60XR burns about 222 US gallons (672 kg) of jet fuel an hour, which puts out about 2.1 tonnes of CO2. Sustainable aviation fuel, where the departure airport has it, cuts the lifecycle figure.
| Flight | Fuel | CO2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 flight hour | 670 kg | 2.1 tonnes |
| 3 flight hours | 2,020 kg | 6.4 tonnes |
| 8 flight hours | 5,380 kg | 17.0 tonnes |
Average block figures; real burn depends on weight, altitude and winds. Fuel at 0.8 kg per litre.

How much does a Learjet 60XR cost?
A new Learjet 60XR listed at about $13.7 million in 2012. Production has ended, so most buyers look at pre-owned aircraft. Owning one also means paying to fly and maintain it, which is why most people who fly a few times a year charter instead.

Midsize jets, per flight hour
What moves the price
- Positioning: one-way trips usually pay for the empty flight home.
- Crew overnights and waiting days on multi-day trips.
- Airport and handling fees, plus aviation tax and any VAT.
- Empty legs can cut the price sharply when one matches your dates.
Charter or own?
Owning a Learjet 60XR costs about €550,000 a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about €3,700 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.
| You fly | Owning (per hour) | Charter in Germany (per hour) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 hours a year | €14,700 per hour | €5.9k to €8.3k per hour |
| 100 hours a year | €9,200 per hour | €5.9k to €8.3k per hour |

Where the Learjet 60XR can land
A 2,292 nm jet that needs about 5,450 ft of runway at full weight at sea level, and much more at hot or high airports.
Runway needed
About 5,450 ft to take off at maximum weight at sea level, ISA, and about 3,049 ft to land at maximum landing weight.
Hot and high
At 5,000 ft elevation and 20 C above standard, the takeoff run at maximum weight grows to about 8,520 ft. Pilots often plan on 5,000 ft of dry runway, 6,000 ft wet and 7,000 ft contaminated at low airports.

Learjet 60XR safety record
Events from official investigations and safety databases. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.
N999LJ, Columbia, South Carolina, 2008
A Learjet 60 overran the runway after a rejected takeoff and was destroyed by fire. Four of the six on board were killed. The NTSB found that badly underinflated tires failed during the takeoff roll and that the captain rejected the takeoff after V1. It also found that the thrust reverser design let wheel well damage produce forward thrust, which made the accident worse.
Tire checks
After the NTSB report, tire pressure checks became a recurring requirement. A recurring airworthiness directive now calls for checks every 96 hours.
N119FD, Valencia, Venezuela, 2013
A Learjet 60 stalled during a tight turn onto a visual approach and struck houses about 1 nm from the runway. Both pilots were killed. Venezuela's investigators completed report 011/2013.
N5027Q, Santa Cruz do Sul, Brazil, 2002
A Learjet 60 landed fast and long on a wet runway and overran into a ravine. The copilot was killed. Brazil's CENIPA cited an unstabilized approach and poor planning.
Type record
The Aviation Safety Network lists 47 Learjet 60 occurrences, including 7 aircraft written off and 3 fatal accidents.
