Bombardier Learjet 70 Overview
The Bombardier Learjet 70 is a light jet manufactured by Bombardier Aviation, produced from 2013-2018.

The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 4 active Bombardier Learjet 70 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-40BR, each producing 3,500 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 465 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 437 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 51,000 feet puts the Bombardier Learjet 70 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 4,600 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 2,040 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Bombardier Learjet 70 handles regional cross-country routing — New York to Miami, Chicago to Dallas, or Los Angeles to Seattle. Typical hourly operating costs range from $2,800-$3,600 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Bombardier Learjet 70 cabin measures 17.7 ft long, 5.1 ft wide, and 4.9 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 8 passengers, with 65 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Garmin G5000 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Evolution & Market Position
Updated Learjet 45XR with Garmin G5000 avionics.
