N273LP

This airframe, registered as N273LP, is a 2001-built Learjet 45 with manufacturer's serial number 45-185. The jet is recorded as owned and operated by Kalitta Charters LLC, an LLC based in Ypsilanti, MI, US. The airframe reflects the late-production Learjet 45 configuration and is maintained in the fixed-wing multi-engine category under US registration. Current valuation records list the aircraft at $2,000,000, which reflects market position for a 2001 Learjet 45 with its equipment fit and operational role.

The cabin is fitted in a typical 8–12 passenger executive layout with a double-club seating arrangement, a forward galley, and a belted lavatory, supporting both charter and corporate shuttle missions. Avionics on this Learjet 45 conform to a Honeywell Primus-style EFIS fit, consistent with the model’s contemporary flight deck modernization path and operator expectations. With a cruise speed of 465 kts and a range of 1,968 nm, the airframe is optimized for short to medium-haul regional charters and fast point-to-point executive transport from its base in Ypsilanti, MI, US. Maintenance considerations typical to this airframe include TFE731-series engine support and avionics lifecycle management for Honeywell Primus-style systems.

The Learjet 45 family occupies the light-cabin, high-speed niche for operators seeking trans-regional capability at high cruise speed and high-altitude performance, exemplified by this airframe’s 51,000 ft ceiling. Competitors historically include light-cabin business jets offering similar cruise and range, and buyer demand tends toward well-equipped, lower-hour examples for charter operators like Kalitta Charters LLC. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2001 model emphasize engine TBO planning for the Honeywell TFE731-20 units and avionics upgrades where operators prioritize modern EFIS functionality.
