The Learjet 60 is one of the fastest and highest-flying mid-size jets in the aeromedical industry. Known for its “climb and maintain” performance, it can reach high altitudes much faster than other aircraft, allowing it to fly above bad weather and turbulence. This provides an exceptionally smooth and quiet environment, which is critical for patients with unstable vital signs or neurological conditions.

The Learjet 60 features a significantly longer and wider cabin than the Learjet 35 or 45, offering a more comfortable workspace for the medical team and better amenities for accompanying family members. It is a preferred choice for medium to long-range transcontinental repatriations where speed is the primary requirement.

 

Medical Equipment

The Learjet 60 is outfitted as a state-of-the-art flying Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Its increased cabin volume allows for more advanced medical configurations and better access to the patient during flight maneuvers.
