XA-UCI Aircraft Overview
XA-UCI is a LEARJET Bombardier Learjet 55 registered in Mexico with serial number on file. This midsize jet serves the core of the business aviation market, balancing cabin space, range, and operating cost in a way that makes it the most common category for corporate flight departments. Ownership information is held by the AFAC in Mexico.
Bombardier Learjet 55 Market Position
The Learjet 55 introduced the wide-body Longhorn wing to the Learjet lineup, significantly improving low-speed handling and cabin volume over the Learjet 35 and 36. Its Delta Fins became a Learjet signature. The type served as the technological bridge between the original Learjets and the modern 40/45/60 series.
Performance Profile
At 465 knots, the Bombardier Learjet 55 cruises efficiently across routes up to 2,240 nautical miles. This covers most domestic city pairs nonstop and reaches select international destinations from southern U.S. airports. Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-3A. The aircraft operates at altitudes up to 51,000 feet.
Mission Profile
Midsize jets handle the bulk of corporate aviation missions: day trips, multi-city tours, and regional travel where airlines cannot match the schedule. The Bombardier Learjet 55 seats up to 8 passengers with a cabin that allows standing and provides enough volume for presentations, meals, or rest on flights under four hours.

Insider Note
Midsize jets offer the best balance of cost and capability for most private aviation missions. A common mistake is chartering a heavy jet for a route a midsize aircraft handles easily. The difference in hourly rate between the two categories can exceed $3,000 per flight hour.
