Model & Market Context
This entry documents airframe N889CA, a 2001-built Bombardier Learjet 45 with manufacturer serial number 45-132. The aircraft is owned by GRACON EXPRESS LLC, an LLC based in Lafayette, CO, US and is registered in the US. As presented in the available data, the airframe carries a market valuation of $2,000,000; no additional public registry actions or historic operator changes are published here. The airframe’s configuration and maintenance status are summarized from the typical Learjet 45 fit and the supplied specifics.
The airframe is configured with an executive flat-floor cabin designed for common layouts accommodating eight to twelve passengers; this specific example lists 12 seats and a cabin volume of approximately 410 cu ft with a cabin length near 19.75 ft. Avionics for this Learjet 45-series airframe are typical of the model and noted as Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS, supporting modern flight operations and integrated flight displays. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range executive transport within its 1,700 nm radius at cruise speeds near 445 kt and operating to high-altitude airspace up to 51,000 ft. Based in Lafayette, CO, US under ownership of GRACON EXPRESS LLC, operational considerations would focus on regional charter or corporate missions, with attention to Learjet 45 maintenance cycles and engine TFE731-series support.
The Learjet 45 family occupies a light-to-midsize executive jet niche, offering high-speed cruise and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that appeals to time-sensitive operators. Competitors historically include other light-cabin business jets offering similar transcontinental capabilities. Buyer and charter demand for early-2000s Learjet 45s centers on value versus upgrade costs; a listed market value of $2,000,000 reflects airframe age, avionics fit, and engine support requirements for the TFE731 series. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial batch emphasize avionics upgrades, airframe hours, and adherence to manufacturer-recommended inspections.
