The Learjet 60 is a mid jet manufactured by Bombardier Learjet, produced from 1993-2012.

The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 91 active Learjet 60 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 Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A, each producing 4,600 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 457 knots (Mach 0.81), with a long-range cruise of 430 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 51,000 feet puts the Learjet 60 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 5,050 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 2,405 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Learjet 60 handles regional cross-country routing — New York to Miami, Chicago to Dallas, or Los Angeles to Seattle. Typical hourly operating costs range from $3,000-$4,200 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Learjet 60 cabin measures 17.7 ft long, 5.9 ft wide, and 5.7 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 8 passengers, with 55 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Evolution & Market Position
The fastest serial-production Learjet model. For those considering acquisition or evaluating options to sell, understanding the transition between variants is essential for informed decision-making. Well-maintained Learjet 60 aircraft remain sought after in the pre-owned market, with strong demand from both private owners and charter operators.
