Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N145XL, is a 2000-built Bombardier Learjet 45 with manufacturer serial number 45-106. The jet was completed by Learjet Inc. and later associated with Bombardier Aerospace production lines, and it is operated by and owned by Guardian Flight LLC, a corporation based in Lewisville, TX, US. The aircraft carries a US registration and, as of the latest valuation, is listed at $2,200,000. No other registry actions or prior owners are published in the provided data.
The cabin of N145XL is configured in a club seating arrangement, typically arranged as double-club or four-place clubs, accommodating up to 12 seats in a roughly 19 ft 9 in long, 5 ft 1 in wide, and 4 ft 11 in high interior; an aft lavatory and a small galley are fitted. The installed avionics suite is the Honeywell Primus 1000 (typical/Primus suite), supporting standard light business-jet navigation and communication capabilities for this model. Based in Lewisville, Texas, the operator Guardian Flight LLC would likely use the aircraft for short- to medium-range transport, air medical repositioning, or charter-style missions within the Learjet 45’s circa 1,968 nm range and high-speed cruise of 436 kts. Maintenance considerations reflect typical TFE731 engine support and Learjet 45 airframe service items.
The Learjet 45 family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that appeal to operators prioritizing speed and climb performance. Competing models include other light jets with similar range and seating, where buyer demand often focuses on cabin comfort relative to speed, avionics modernization, and engine maintenance history. For resale and operator economics, the listed valuation of $2,200,000, the older Primus 1000 avionics, and the TFE731-20AR engines are key factors in marketability and expected maintenance/upgrade investments.
