Bombardier Announces First Customer Learjet Liberty 75 Entering Service

The people of Bombardier pride themselves in offering some of the best jets you can buy in their respective categories, and as the company announces that its new Learjet Liberty 75 has entered service, it adds a competitive-priced model the light jet category.

The newest addition to Bombardier’s diverse business jet portfolio recently saw the first delivery to long-time Learjet operator Alex Lyon & Son, an auctioneering firm that operates throughout the United States and beyond. “Over the past 20 years, Learjet aircraft and Bombardier’s support teams have given me a 99.9% dispatch reliability rate. And thanks to the speed of a Learjet, a late departure doesn’t prevent us from arriving on time, which has helped me run my business more efficiently,” said Jack Lyon, president and CEO of Alex Lyon & Son. “We appreciate the speed, range, and reliability of these aircraft, and we’re proud to become the owners of the first Learjet 75 Liberty.”

The Learjet 75 Liberty is built by a world-class team in Kansas, the birthplace of this iconic business jet, and is something the company is very proud of. “The Learjet 75 Liberty is a value-added business tool for those seeking a safer and more efficient travel option,” said Peter Likoray, senior vice president, sales and marketing, new aircraft, for Bombardier Business Aircraft. “This achievement would not have been possible without our highly skilled team members in Wichita, who are incredibly happy to be delivering the best Learjet yet.”

The ramp appeal of the Liberty 75 is pure Learjet, an airframe that just looks fast even while it’s parked. Couple that with new exterior styling and the Liberty 75 really catches the eye. But what is inside the cabin of this new business jet is exciting to engineers as well as customers, says Louise Solomita, Bombardier’s communications & public affairs advisor.

“One of the elements we’re most proud of in the Learjet 75 Liberty is the Executive Suite, a first-of-its-kind in the light jet category,” Solomita said. “This space, situated at the front of the passenger cabin, offers almost three feet of legroom, and is a spacious, inviting, and productive area. It has stowable ottomans for passengers to stretch out on, and retractable side tables for meals, laptops, or other devices. A pocket door separates the Executive Suite from the cockpit and ensures a quiet flight. Indeed, the pocket door has proven so popular aboard Learjet aircraft that it now comes standard aboard the Learjet 75 Liberty. This Executive Suite is an example of how Bombardier is constantly elevating the passenger experience aboard its business jets.”

The Learjet 75 Liberty has a range of 2,080 nautical miles, able to connect Las Vegas to New York, Seattle to Washington, DC, and Mexico City to San Francisco, nonstop—under certain operating conditions. The Learjet 75 Liberty aircraft adheres to more stringent safety standards than most light jets, according to Bombardier. The Liberty’s six-seat configuration features the Executive Suite, however, the versatile light jet is also available in the popular eight-seat configuration.

Solomita explained that Bombardier worked hard to offer a major advantage of the Learjet 75 Liberty with its accessibility. “We wanted to ensure that its price point and operating costs are attractive to anyone in the market for a light jet. So, the beauty of the Learjet 75 Liberty (aside from its actual beauty as an aircraft) is that it offers better range speed and cabin experience than its competitors while being accessible to more buyers and operators than ever before,” she said.
