N454N

This airframe, registered as N454N, is a Learjet 45XR built in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 339. It is recorded as owned by BELLE AIR LEASING LLC (Wilmington, DE, US) and carries a United States civil registration. The airframe has an executive configuration and has been maintained to support charter and lease operations; valuation records list it at $2,356,965, reflecting its market position among late-production Learjet 45 variants. Notable registry actions include its operation under a Delaware-based LLC ownership structure and certification for up to 12 seats while typically outfitted in an eight-passenger executive layout.

The installed cabin on this specific airframe is an executive 8‑passenger layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, while the type certificate allows certification for up to 12 seats. Avionics fit is Honeywell Primus 1000 (DU-875/IFCS) with dual UNS-1 FMS units and integrated safety and communications systems including TAWS, TCAS, SATCOM and ADS‑B, supporting both business charter and corporate ferry missions. Typical mission profiles for the airframe include regional and transcontinental hops within its 1,841 nm range capability at a high-speed cruise of 436 kts, and it routinely operates to high-altitude flight levels up to 51,000 ft. As a leased asset owned by an LLC, maintenance planning and ferry scheduling are commonly coordinated through lessor-directed programs and third-party maintenance providers.

The Learjet 45XR occupies a light-cabin, high-performance niche characterized by high cruise speeds and long-range capability for its class, exemplified by this airframe’s 436 kts cruise and 1,841 nm range. Competing models in the segment include late-model light jets offering similar speed-range trade-offs; buyer and charter demand typically favors well-equipped, avionics-updated airframes like this one with Honeywell Primus systems and ADS‑B/SATCOM capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include lifecycle costs for the Honeywell TFE731 engines and avionics support for Primus/UNS-1 installations, factors that are reflected in the current valuation.
