Sabreliner 65

Rockwell certified the Sabreliner 65 in 1979, built on the Series 60's proven airframe. A new supercritical wing and uprated Garrett turbofan engines define this generation.

A Sabreliner 65 completed a round-the-world flight on March 9, 2010. The trip took 57 hours 54 minutes, covering 22,848 miles at 402 miles per hour average. It broke two existing world records.

A volcanic eruption in Iceland forced a diversion that cost the aircraft a third record. Two out of three still stands as a genuine, verifiable achievement for a decades-old midsize jet.

Rockwell contracted Raisbeck Engineering in 1976 to redesign the Sabreliner's wing. The result, the Raisbeck Mark V wing, was the first supercritical wing in US civil aviation service.

That wing paired with new Garrett TFE731 turbofan engines, replacing the 60's older Pratt & Whitney turbojets. The combination is what pushed range and speed meaningfully beyond the earlier generation.

A midsize jet trades some efficiency for more cabin room, range, and passenger capacity than a light jet offers.

• More cabin room: a wide, roomy cabin with genuine near stand-up headroom.
• More seats: up to 9 passengers versus 4 to 6 for most light jets.
• Genuine speed: 475 knots cruise, among the faster midsize jets of any generation.
• Best mission: regional and transcontinental trips for groups who value proven, record-setting performance.

The Sabreliner 65 seats up to nine passengers, typically six in a double-club layout with an optional divan.

• Large cabin windows and fold-out worktables support both business and leisure travel.
• An enclosed lavatory is standard equipment.
• Cabin configuration and amenities vary meaningfully between individual aircraft given decades of upgrades.
• There is no flight attendant standard on this aircraft category; confirm service expectations at booking.

The Sabreliner 65 performs best on regional and transcontinental routes where genuine speed matters alongside cost.

Sabreliner 65 charter rates typically run $2,800 to $4,000 per flight hour, with variation by operator and aircraft equipment. Total one-way trip pricing depends on route distance, positioning, and demand.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the Sabreliner 60 and the Citation Excel. The Sabreliner 60 costs about the same but with less range; the Excel offers newer avionics. The 65 wins on outright speed.

If a base Sabreliner 60 is quoted, see our separate Sabreliner 60 page for its own specs and pricing.
