N189PP

This airframe, operating as N189PP, is a Learjet 45XR with manufacturer serial number 45-264, built by LEARJET INC. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to BUTLER LLC, an LLC based in Richmond, VA, US, which serves as its owner/operator on the registry. The jet carries a US registration and is recorded with a market valuation of $3,400,000, reflecting its configuration and maintenance condition as represented in public registry data. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current corporate registration.

The cabin on this specific Learjet 45XR is arranged in a flat-floor executive layout and the registry describes capacity up to 12, although typical executive seating layouts for the model are configured for eight to nine passengers. Avionics commonly fitted to this airframe type and noted as the common fit for the model is the Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting business-aviation navigation and communications standards. Typical missions for the airframe and operator profile include short- to medium-range executive transport, leveraging the jet’s high cruise speed and transcontinental range to serve regional corporate shuttles and point-to-point charter operations from its Richmond, VA base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Learjet 45XR baseline: twin TFE731 turbofan upkeep, pressurized flat-floor cabin systems, and avionics lifecycle management.

The Learjet 45XR family occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche known for high cruise speeds and substantial service ceiling, competing with contemporaries in the light jet segment. Demand in the buyer and charter market tends to favor examples with executive interior preservation and up-to-date avionics like the Honeywell Primus 1000; examples configured closer to the registry capacity maximum may appeal to operators needing higher passenger counts. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by engine TFE731 support status, overall hours/cycles (not published), and the documented valuation of $3,400,000, which frames expectations for transactional negotiations in the used business jet market.
