Learjet celebrates 25 million Flight-hour milestone!
Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft operators now benefit from lengthened intervals between recurring major power plant inspections, which have been extended from 3,000 to 3,500 engine hours.
This interval extension directly benefits the bottom lines of operators by reducing the number of repeat inspections over the lifecycle of the engine, thereby decreasing operating costs over the lifecycle of the aircraft. This announcement comes as Bombardier’s fleet of Learjet aircraft has surpassed the 25 million flight-hour mark. The first Learjet business aircraft entered service in 1964, creating the experience and defining the industry of private flight.
Bombardier is continuing to invest to support its in-service fleet and the Learjet family. Bombardier recently announced a comprehensive Garmin G5000 avionics upgrade, which will allow customers to optimize their routes and will pave the way for future technological enhancements. The upgrade will be offered as forward and retrofit for in-service Learjet aircraft.
Since acquiring the Learjet Corporation in 1990, Bombardier has introduced eight new models, including the Learjet 75 aircraft, which entered service in 2013.
