Why the Learjet 55 Fits Colorado

With 2,165 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Denver to destinations such as Omaha, San Francisco and Boston, allowing for reserves and routing. Summer afternoon thunderstorms can hold departures at Denver, so a morning departure often leaves more room in the day.

Colorado trips in this class usually leave from Centennial, south of Denver, or Rocky Mountain Metropolitan, between Denver and Boulder, depending on where you are starting from on the ground. At Colorado’s elevations, whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, its weight and the day’s conditions, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.

How Colorado Clients Use the Learjet 55

Colorado clients book midsize jets for family ski trips with a full set of bags and for long business days that cross several states.

Tell us the route, how many people are flying and what they are bringing, skis and golf bags included, and your advisor will say whether this aircraft suits the trip or suggest one that suits it better.
