Hogani Jets coordinates Learjet 70 charter flights through licensed Part 135 operators, matching this fast, modern light jet to longer regional and transcontinental trips. The Learjet 70 is the modern successor to the Learjet 40, adding new Honeywell engines, Global-derived canted winglets, and a Garmin G5000 glass cockpit to push range to around 2,000 nautical miles. Manufactured by Bombardier (Learjet), it seats up to 7 passengers with a range of 2,304 miles (2,002 nm) and a cruise speed of 535 mph (465 ktas). Learjet 70 charter rates run $2,500 to $3,500 per flight hour, with one-way trip pricing from roughly $9,000 to $18,000 depending on route. Its strengths are speed, long range for the class, a modern glass cockpit, and a 51,000-foot ceiling, not cabin volume. The Learjet 70 suits travelers who value speed and range in a focused cabin. 

For more cabin space, the Learjet 75 or a midsize jet is the better choice. For a current Learjet 70 quote, contact Hogani Jets at charter@hoganijets.com or +1-855-660-0573.

The Learjet 70 entered service in 2013 as the modern evolution of the Learjet 40. It kept the Learjet 40 and 45 airframe but added more powerful Honeywell TFE731-40BR engines, canted winglets derived from the Bombardier Global program, and the Garmin G5000 glass flight deck, improving range, climb, and efficiency. With a range around 2,000 nautical miles, high speed, and a 51,000-foot ceiling, it was one of the last and most refined of the Learjet light jets before Bombardier ended Learjet production in 2022.

The Learjet 70 cabin shares the roomy cross-section of the Learjet 40 and 45, seating up to 7 in a club layout, while adding modern amenities and one of the quietest cabins of the Learjet light jets. It is a refined, productive environment focused on speed and efficiency.

  • The cabin is roomy for a light jet at 5.1 feet wide and 4.9 feet tall, with club seating, all swiveling and reclining with fold-out worktables.
  • Baggage capacity of 55 cubic feet across internal and external compartments handles the group's luggage on longer trips.
  • A full private lavatory, larger galley, executive tables, and pop-up monitors are standard, along with power outlets, USB charging, and adjustable LED lighting.
  • Advanced noise reduction gives a quiet cabin at around 67 dBA. High-speed Wi-Fi is available on many aircraft, so confirm at booking.

Note: Baggage note for the Learjet 70: The 55 cubic foot hold comfortably serves up to seven passengers. For more cabin volume, a midsize jet such as the Citation XLS is the step up.

Buyers cross-shopping the Learjet 70 most often compare it to the Learjet 75. They share the same engines, avionics, and winglets, and a shorter cabin. The 75 is the slightly longer-range flagship, while the 70 is the more cost-effective option. This comparison shows the differences.
