C-GNVI Aircraft Overview
C-GNVI is a Learjet 45 registered in Canada with serial number on file. Light jets define the entry point for turbine-powered business aviation, offering jet speed and reliability with lower acquisition and operating costs than midsize or heavy platforms. Ownership information is held by the TCCA in Canada.
Learjet 45 Market Position
The Learjet 45 introduced a clean-sheet wing and stand-up cabin to the light jet market in 1998. Its 2,120-nautical-mile range exceeds most light jets, pushing into midsize territory. Honeywell TFE731-20 engines and Collins Pro Line 4 avionics are standard. Bombardier produced over 250 units before transitioning to the Learjet 75.
Performance Profile
The Learjet 45 cruises at 465 knots with a published range of 2,120 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-20. An operating ceiling of 51,000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Learjet 45 typically seats 9 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter & Availability
C-GNVI is registered in Canada under the TCCA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Learjet 45 platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Light jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
