The Learjet 60 is the aircraft that brought Dallas midsize performance into the modern era, with a Pratt and Whitney Canada PW305A powerplant, 2,405 nautical miles of range, and enough cabin for seven to eight executives on the corridors DFW businesses run most often. At Addison Airport (KADS), it is a familiar sight and a reliable option across the Fortune 500 corporate travel pattern.
Bombardier designed the Learjet 60 as a stretched and re-engined evolution of the Learjet 55, adding Pratt and Whitney Canada turbofans and a redesigned wing for better performance and range. The cabin seats 7 to 8 passengers. The 60XR variant added further avionics and performance refinements. Range is 2,405 nautical miles.

Why the Learjet 60 Fits Dallas
Dallas to New York at 1,500 nautical miles is a solid nonstop for the Learjet 60, with better fuel margin than the Learjet 55 on the same leg. For DFW corporate clients who equate the Learjet name with the performance heritage of the brand, the Learjet 60 delivers that legacy on a modern powerplant. The aircraft handles KADS comfortably and is a frequent operator at Million Air Dallas and Atlantic Aviation.
The energy sector demand pattern from Dallas — day trips to Midland-Odessa, legs to Houston, multi-city routes through San Antonio or Corpus Christi — fits the Learjet 60 well. The aircraft is fast enough to keep a full workday at a Texas destination, and the seven-to-eight seat cabin handles a standard executive team without the waste of a larger aircraft.
For Dallas to Caribbean and Mexico routes, the Learjet 60’s range covers Cancun and Monterrey comfortably. Monterrey at 580 nautical miles is an easy leg, and Mexico City at 865 nautical miles is nonstop without range becoming a discussion. Clients booking international legs from Dallas Executive Airport (KRBD) on the south side of the city should confirm FBO handling and customs arrangements when booking.

- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
