Bombardier has unveiled plans to launch a new
six-seat jet in 2020.
The Learjet 75 Liberty will have a list price of
US$9.9 million and a range of 2,080 nautical miles, allowing it to
connect Las Vegas to New York, Seattle to Washington, D.C., and
Mexico City to San Francisco, nonstop.
“The Learjet 75 Liberty represents a step up for
customers in the light jet segment, with unprecedented
spaciousness and Bombardier’s renowned smooth ride,” said David
Coleal, President, Bombardier Aviation. “The newest member of the
Learjet family delivers a flight experience that eclipses the
competition.”
The Learjet 75 Liberty will feature a flat floor throughout the cabin, a
standard pocket door between the cockpit and the Executive Suite, and a Gogo
ATG 4G solution for seamless connectivity.
For pilots, the Learjet 75 Liberty will feature
the advanced Bombardier Vision flight deck, and include the
recently announced Garmin G5000 avionics upgrade.
The Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft is certified to
the FAA’s more stringent Part 25 regulations, applicable to
commercial airliners, unlike some aircraft s in the light jet
category that are certified to Part 23 regulations.
The aircraft will be assembled in Wichita,
Kansas.
“I’m extremely proud that the Learjet 75
Liberty will be built in Wichita, where the Learjet dream first
took flight,” said Tonya Sudduth, Vice President of Operations and
Wichita Site, Bombardier Aviation. “Our Wichita facility today has
a diverse mandate supporting Bombardier’s extensive fleet of
business aircraft, but to introduce the newest member of this
iconic brand is of special significance to our team.”
