Flexjet Launches First Learjet 85 Fractional Jet Ownership Program

Among Incentives Is A Waiver Of Early Termination Fees On Existing Contracts

Flexjet is launching a fractional jet ownership sales program for Bombardier’s Learjet 85 aircraft as the manufacturer’s first customer. Designed from a clean sheet, the all-new Learjet 85 aircraft is the first FAR Part 25 certified business jet with both fuselage and wing built primarily from carbon composites and features the latest advances in aerodynamics, structures and efficiency to usher in a new class of performance and comfort.

Artist's Concept

To ensure new and current owners a seamless transition to the Learjet 85 aircraft upon its anticipated delivery in 2013, Flexjet is offering guaranteed access and availability to its elite fractional ownership program fleet of Flexjet aircraft—the youngest in the industry with an average age of approximately four years. As an added benefit for existing owners who place a deposit on a Learjet 85 aircraft fractional share, Flexjet will waive early termination fees for existing contracts on other aircraft types that will not expire until after the delivery of the Learjet 85 aircraft.

“Flexjet is thrilled to offer its owners the first opportunity to experience private aviation at its very best aboard the all-new Learjet 85 aircraft,” said Fred Reid, President, Flexjet. “Designed to fly farther than any Learjet aircraft ever built, this new aircraft lives up to its legendary lineage while setting a new standard for passenger comfort.”

The composite structures of the Learjet 85 aircraft allows the use of complex curves in the aircraft cross-section and thinner wall thickness to maximize cabin volume, creating the largest Learjet aircraft ever designed. The airframe, made mostly of composite material, requires less maintenance and is easier to repair for an extended service life, along with improving performance and minimizing drag through smoother aerodynamics. Other innovations include the aircraft’s Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307B turbofan engine, the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite—one of the most advanced flight displays ever offered onboard a midsize aircraft—and an advanced entertainment and wireless Internet system.
