Bombardier's Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 Aircraft Receive EASA Certification

Bombardier's Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft have received full type certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Bombardier's extensive European support network is anchored by a Regional Support Office in Farnborough, UK, a Parts Distribution Hub in Frankfurt, Germany, and a Service Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

In preparation for a smooth entry-into-service, Bombardier has also reconfigured a Level D full-flight simulator at its aircraft training centre in Dallas, Texas.

"Since their entry-into-service last December, our Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft have received strong interest from our customers," said Eric Martel, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "The performance and efficiency of both aircraft, combined with their completely new interior, clearly position them as leaders within the light category."

The aircraft offer customers enhanced performance through an engine thrust increase with an improved Honeywell engine, offering superior takeoff field length performance over their predecessors. The new avionic system contributes to achieving weight savings and the new canted winglets improve aerodynamic efficiency. Overall, both aircraft provide up to a 9% improvement in field performance under hot and high conditions and up to a 4% improvement in fuel efficiency.

The new interiors of the Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft include improved comfort and styling of the seats, a spacious galley for optimized catering, work and storage space and a generous baggage suite. In both aircraft, the cabin management system features individual touchscreen monitors with full audio and video control.

The Bombardier Vision flight deck for Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft features the fully integrated Garmin G5000 digital avionics suite.
