N289AW

The airframe bearing tail number N289AW is a 1987-built Learjet configured as a Learjet 35A, serial 35-628, manufactured by Learjet Inc. The airframe is owned by Air Gato Enterprises Inc, a corporate owner based in Clearwater, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Registry information notes a 10-seat executive configuration and the aircraft is valued at $960,000; registry reports 10 seats is reflected in official records. No other ownership changes or notable incidents are published in the supplied data.

This specific Learjet 35A, N289AW, is fitted with a 10-seat executive cabin per registry records, supporting short to mid-range corporate transport and light charter missions. Typical operations for this airframe would leverage its 1,930 nm range and 436 kts cruise speed for point-to-point business travel and air-taxi sectors, often operating from regional airports in and around its owner’s base in Clearwater, FL, US. The twin Honeywell TFE731-2C powerplants provide a high-altitude cruise capability to the published 45,000 ft ceiling, which benefits fuel efficiency and air traffic routing. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include conventional Learjet 35A inspections and the lifecycle management of the two TFE731 series engines; no additional avionics or special amenity data are published for this specific unit.

The Learjet 35A family occupies the light jet niche, prized for speed and high-altitude performance relative to cabin size. With a cruise near 436 kts and a 1,930 nm range, the model competes against other light jets that prioritize speed and short-field performance over cabin volume. Buyers and operators in the used market weigh the aircraft’s age—this airframe is from 1987—and the maintenance history of airframes and engines when considering purchase; here the example valuation is $960,000. Resale and charter demand for well-maintained Learjet 35As remains anchored to operational costs, avionics updates, and engine time on the TFE731-2C units.
