N45KX

This entry covers the specific Learjet 45 airframe bearing registration N45KX, built in 2003 with manufacturer's serial number 233. The airframe was produced by LEARJET INC and is owned by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC, an LLC based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, which serves as its operator/home base according to registry records. The aircraft is listed for a notional market valuation of $2,000,000; registry entries show it retains a typical light business-jet configuration and is maintained within the US civil registry. No other notable registry actions are recorded in the supplied data.

This airframe is fitted with a typical executive cabin arranged in an 8-place double-club layout, featuring a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory; registry data also records capacity for up to 12 seats. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000 in its typical fit, supporting the airframe’s high-speed, high-altitude business-jet missions. Operated by KALITTA CHARTERS LLC from Ypsilanti, MI, US, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range charter routes and time-sensitive corporate missions that exploit its cruise speed of 464 kts and ceiling of 51,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect standard Learjet 45 practices for the Honeywell TFE731 series engines and avionics suite as indicated in the registry data.

The Learjet 45 family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a range of 1,971 nm and higher cruise speeds relative to some competitors in its class. Competing models typically include other light-cabin jets that balance speed, cabin comfort and operating cost; this airframe’s valuation at $2,000,000 positions it within the used market where age (built 2003) and configuration (typical Primus 1000 avionics and eight-place executive layout) are key resale factors. Buyers and charter operators consider the TFE731 engine maintenance history and avionics currency when evaluating remaining service life and retrofit needs for this serial-numbered airframe.
