The Learjet 31A is a high-performance legacy light jet renowned for its impressive speed, sleek profile, and rapid climb capabilities. Designed for efficiency and agility, the 31A was a popular choice for executive travel in the late 1990s and early 2000s. While the aircraft is now considered a legacy model, a limited number remain in service and are available by request for select charter missions through JetOptions.
Introduced by Bombardier Learjet in 1990, the Learjet 31A was the upgraded successor to the original Learjet 31. It offered improved avionics, faster climb rates, and better operational reliability. Known for its fighter-jet-like performance, the Learjet 31A reached cruising altitudes and top speeds faster than most light jets of its era.
The aircraft earned strong popularity with corporate travelers and private owners who valued speed and range in a compact package. Production of the Learjet 31A ceased in 2003 as newer designs and larger cabins became the industry standard. However, the aircraft remains a favorite in limited-use charter scenarios and offers strong performance on shorter flights.
The Learjet 31A features a cozy and efficient cabin that seats up to 7 passengers, often arranged in a club configuration with additional forward-facing seats. While the interior space is limited compared to modern light jets, the cabin offers comfort for flights of two hours or less. A fully enclosed lavatory is included, along with a small refreshment center.
This aircraft is designed for travelers seeking speed and direct routing, along with spacious cabin luxury. Its sleek interior and quiet ride are best suited to executive trips or point-to-point regional travel.
Where the Learjet 31A truly excels is in speed and altitude performance. The aircraft cruises at nearly its top speed of 510 mph (443 knots) and is capable of reaching a flight ceiling of 51,000 feet, a height rarely achieved in the light jet category. With a range of approximately 1,565 statute miles (2,860 nautical miles), the 31A is ideal for high-speed, short-haul charter missions.
Its short-field performance is also notable, allowing it to operate from runways under 5,000 feet, which adds flexibility for clients looking to access regional airports or high-altitude destinations.
The Learjet 31A is best suited for clients who prioritize speed, agility, and efficiency over modern luxury features. It’s an excellent option for repositioning flights, urgent business trips, or cost-effective hops between major cities. While it lacks the cabin size and latest amenities of newer jets, it remains a dependable choice for 60–90 minute flights with lighter passenger loads.
This aircraft is available on a limited basis through legacy charter providers and may not be offered at all airports or during high-demand periods. For those who appreciate classic Learjet design and speed, the 31A delivers a high-performance solution in a compact frame.
