HZ-MS1A

HZ-MS1A Aircraft Overview

HZ-MS1A is a Bombardier Learjet 60 registered in Saudi Arabia with serial number 60-370. This midsize jet serves the core of the business aviation market, balancing cabin space, range, and operating cost in a way that makes it the most common category for corporate flight departments. The aircraft is associated with Saudi Armed Forces Medical Services, registered through the GACA.

Learjet 60 Market Position

The Learjet 60 was the fastest midsize jet of its era, cruising at 465 knots. Pratt & Whitney PW305A engines and a stretched fuselage gave it 2,405 nautical miles of range. The type served corporate and charter operators who prioritized speed over cabin width. Production ended in 2012 after nearly 350 deliveries.

Performance Profile

At 457 knots, the Learjet 60 cruises efficiently across routes up to 2405 nautical miles. This covers most domestic city pairs nonstop and reaches select international destinations from southern U.S. airports. Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A. The aircraft operates at altitudes up to 51,000 feet.

Mission Profile

Midsize jets handle the bulk of corporate aviation missions: day trips, multi-city tours, and regional travel where airlines cannot match the schedule. The Learjet 60 seats up to 8 passengers with a cabin that allows standing and provides enough volume for presentations, meals, or rest on flights under four hours.

Insider Note

Midsize jets offer the best balance of cost and capability for most private aviation missions. A common mistake is chartering a heavy jet for a route a midsize aircraft handles easily. The difference in hourly rate between the two categories can exceed $3,000 per flight hour.
