Comparison
The Learjet 45 is the predecessor to the Learjet 45XR and Learjet 75. While the 45XR offers enhanced hot-and-high performance, the original 45 provides the same cabin dimensions and range at a typically lower charter rate. Against the Phenom 300, the Learjet 45 offers a longer cabin but less modern avionics. For travelers seeking Learjet performance at a value price point, the 45 remains an excellent choice.
