Bombardier Learjet 55C Private Jet Charter

About the Bombardier Learjet 55C

Where the original Learjet 55 broadened the marque with a bigger cabin, the 55C went back to what Learjet did best and sharpened the performance. The key change was the addition of delta fins — the ventral strakes mounted beneath the tail that improve directional stability at high altitude and high speed, letting the aircraft cruise faster and handle more securely in the thin air near its ceiling. The refinements lifted top cruise to a brisk 1,043 km/h, among the quicker midsize jets of its day, while keeping the 55's roomy Longhorn cabin. Range is 3,600 km. It carries 8 passengers (up to 9), with around 8 in European charter. The 55C is the Longhorn with its handling and speed honed — the version for those who wanted the bigger cabin and the sharper performance both.

Performance Excellence

Two crew operate the Learjet 55C across 3,600 km / 1,945 nm at up to 1,043 km/h (563 ktas) on Garrett TFE731 turbofans, the delta fins improving high-altitude stability and enabling the higher cruise speed. Around 8 examples serve European charter at roughly €4,600 per hour. Its case is sharpened performance: the roomy Longhorn cabin of the 55 combined with delta-fin stability and one of the higher cruise speeds in the midsize class — the version of the 55 honed for those who valued how it flew as much as how much it held.

Cabin Comfort

The 55C's cabin shares the Longhorn dimensions — 5.97 m long, 1.50 m wide, 1.50 m tall — but its character is shaped by how it flies. The delta fins that steady the aircraft at altitude make for a notably composed ride in the thin upper air where the 55C does its fastest cruising, so the eight-seat cabin feels settled even when the aircraft is pressing on at speed. Passengers in the club-four and facing pair benefit from the same stand-up comfort the 55 introduced, now paired with a smoother high-altitude cruise. The later production years also brought refinements to the interior fit and systems. It is the roomy Learjet cabin delivered on the steadiest, fastest version of the Longhorn airframe.

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.
