Bombardier Learjet 31A Private Jet Charter

About the Bombardier Learjet 31A

Ask the pilots who have flown the whole Learjet line which one they would keep for themselves, and a surprising number name the 31A. Introduced in 1991, it mated the brand's compact fuselage to the high-performance wing of the larger Longhorn series, then added distinctive Delta Fins beneath the tail for stability — and produced an aircraft that flies less like a small business jet than like something with a stick and a canopy.

The performance is the entire personality. The 31A climbs to its FL470 ceiling with an urgency that leaves heavier jets behind, and its 954 km/h cruise makes it one of the fastest aircraft in the light class — a genuine point-to-point time machine on the short and medium sectors it was built for. With 2,165 km of range and up to seven seats, it covers the dense European map at speed: Geneva to London, Nice to Munich, Vienna to Rome, arriving sooner than the spec-sheet rivals that look comparable on paper.

At around €3,600 per flight hour, the 31A prices among the most accessible light jets while delivering performance the category rarely matches. For clients who measure a flight by how quickly it is over, and who appreciate that some aircraft are simply more aircraft than their size suggests, the smallest Learjet remains the one with the biggest personality.

Performance Excellence

Seven passengers, 2,165 km of range, 954 km/h cruise — and the climb-and-altitude performance that defines the type: a rapid ascent to a FL470 ceiling that clears weather and traffic, delivered by two Honeywell TFE731-2 engines on a high-performance wing borrowed from the larger Longhorn series. The distinctive Delta Fins beneath the tail add the stability that lets the airframe exploit its performance envelope confidently. Field performance keeps the type flexible across European airports despite its speed focus. At roughly €3,600 per flight hour, the Learjet 31A is among the most affordable light jets available — and among the fastest, a combination that has kept the smallest Learjet flying for pilots and clients who value getting there first.

Cabin Comfort

The 31A cabin is honest about its priorities: this is an aircraft engineered around performance, and the interior is sized for the short, fast sectors that performance serves. Up to seven passengers travel in a cabin that wears the unmistakable Learjet character — snug, purposeful, closer to a high-performance cockpit in feel than to a lounge.

For the missions the type flies, that focus is the point rather than a compromise. The seats are comfortable for the duration, the windows are placed at eye level on every position, and at the 31A's typical high cruise altitude they look out over a sky empty of other traffic. Refurbished examples carry contemporary leather and lighting that modernise the space without softening its character. There is a forward refreshment provision and, in most configurations, an aft lavatory. What the cabin offers is not volume but velocity made tangible — the awareness, felt rather than read, that you are aboard one of the quickest ways to cover a short distance that private aviation has ever produced. Passengers who fly it remember the climb and the arrival time, in that order.

High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
