Learjet 31

Most Philadelphia charter trips are regional, and a light jet covers that range comfortably.

Bombardier (Learjet) built the Learjet 31 between 1988 and 2003. It is flown by a crew of 2. The type carries 6 to 8 passengers, cruises at 458 knots, tops out at 51,000 feet, covers 1,400 nautical miles and holds 30 cubic feet of baggage.

Why the Learjet 31 Fits Philadelphia

Most Philadelphia light jet trips leave from Northeast Philadelphia (KPNE), which has a 7,000-foot runway and a tower open from six in the morning until eleven at night. For the southern side of the region, New Castle (KILG) near Wilmington is frequently closer.

A published range of 1,400 nautical miles brings Palm Beach, Miami, Naples, Florida and Nassau within reach of Philadelphia, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.

The runway required on the day is a performance calculation the operator makes for that aircraft, at that weight, in the conditions on your date, so we confirm it with them for your specific trip.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
