N342K

This entry concerns U.S.-registered airframe N342K, a Learjet 70 built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 2143. The aircraft is registered to KIEWIT ENGINEERING GROUP INC, a corporation based in Omaha, NE, US, which serves as the operator and home base for this airframe. The airframe’s U.S. registration and corporate ownership have been the defining points of its operational history since delivery, and the listed market valuation is $6,500,000, reflecting its condition and equipment fit. Notable registry or ownership actions are limited to its corporate registration and operator status with Kiewit.

The cabin of N342K is fitted in a typical 6–7 passenger executive layout, with a forward galley and a belted lavatory; specific fit may vary according to the operator’s configuration. Avionics are provided by the Bombardier Vision Flight Deck incorporating the Garmin G5000 suite, supporting advanced flight-management, situational awareness, and integrated avionics capabilities for complex domestic and regional operations. With a cruise speed of 436 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 51,000 ft, the aircraft is frequently employed on medium-range corporate missions, including point-to-point executive transport from its base in Omaha, NE, US. Operator-specific amenities and maintenance practices reflect corporate usage patterns and the airframe’s executive interior and avionics fit.

The Learjet 70 occupies the light-to-medium business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and transcontinental capability within its range and passenger count limits. Competing models in this segment include other light-cabin jets equipped with modern avionics suites and similar range/cruise profiles; buyer and charter demand tends to favor airframes with contemporary cockpit systems like the Garmin G5000 and efficient TFE731 series engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize engine shop visit cycles for the Honeywell TFE731-40BR-1 engines, avionics support for the Vision/G5000 suite, and the impact of an operator-specific cabin fit on marketability.
