Bombardier has unveiled the Learjet 75 Liberty, which it says is the fastest aircraft in the light jet segment.
The new Learjet 75 Liberty has a list price of $9.9 million with first deliveries expected in 2020.
“The Learjet 75 Liberty represents a step up for customers in the light jet segment, with unprecedented spaciousness and Bombardier’s renowned smooth ride,” said David Coleal, president, Bombardier Aviation. “The newest member of the Learjet family delivers a flight experience that eclipses the competition.”
Bombardier says its range of 2,080 nautical miles can connect Las Vegas to New York, Seattle to Washington, D.C., and Mexico City to San Francisco, non-stop.
The Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft is certified to the FAA’s more stringent Part 25 regulations, applicable to commercial airliners, unlike most competitors in the light jet category that are certified to Part 23 regulations.
The aircraft was manufactured in Wichita, Kansas.
Tonya Sudduth, vice president of operations and Wichita Site, Bombardier Aviation, added: “I’m extremely proud that the Learjet 75 Liberty will be built in Wichita, where the Learjet dream first took flight.
“Our Wichita facility today has a diverse mandate supporting Bombardier’s extensive fleet of business aircraft, but to introduce the newest member of this iconic brand is of special significance to our team.”
