Model & Market Context
This article covers the specific airframe N824MG, a Learjet 55 built in 1984 with serial number 55-106. The jet is registered in the United States and is currently owned by ATI Jets Sales West LLC (corporation, El Paso, TX, US). As an individual airframe the aircraft’s registry, age and serial have driven valuation and condition assessments, with a listed value of $666,000 reflecting its vintage and configuration. Maintenance and operational history for this tail number are operator-held records and reflect its continued service as a fixed-wing multi-engine executive transport.
The cabin of N824MG is fitted in a typical executive layout described as a 7–8 place club/divan arrangement with a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, with the operator-configurable option noted for interior changes. Operationally, this airframe’s combination of 2,244 nm range and 419 kt cruise speed positions it for medium to long-range corporate missions and charter sectors that require rapid point-to-point transportation. Based at its owner’s location in El Paso, TX, the aircraft is maintained to fixed-wing multi-engine standards appropriate for the Garrett TFE731 powerplants; those engines and the airframe’s 1984 manufacture date are key considerations in maintenance scheduling and component life-cycle management. The enclosed aft lavatory and forward galley support typical executive missions and passenger comfort on transcontinental legs.
As a member of the Learjet 55 family, N824MG occupies a performance niche characterized by high cruise speed and transcontinental range for its class, with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft enabling efficient high-altitude routings. Buyer and charter demand for this specific airframe is influenced by its age, serial history (55-106), and the remaining useful life and overhaul status of its Garrett TFE731 engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this aircraft are impacted by its listed value of $666,000, operator-configurable cabin, and the logistical implications of supporting an early-1980s airframe in contemporary corporate operations.
