Lear 55
Market Report

 Inventory is on the rise, up 7 aircraft from a year ago, with 16 total on the market. This represents 20% of the 80 total Lear 55s in operation. This not unusual for a fleet of this age, on average 43 years old. Prices are seeing a premium up 20% over the past year, or $115,000, with the average sitting right around $700,000. Sales rate has improved, with aircraft selling about 32% faster.  Days on the market is down 178 days, a substantial decrease indicating improvement in buyer demand. This is supported by the fact that inventory is moving quite well.  10 aircraft have sold in the past 12 months, representing 12.5% of the total in operation fleet. Vintages of the aircraft that have sold span from 1981 to 1984. At this rate, there's enough inventory to supply the market for 19 months. Overall, the market is balanced. Pricing has remained steady while transaction rate has improved. Properly priced aircraft are selling, so right now is a good time for both buyers and sellers to transact. In summary, I'd categorize this market as a neutral market and give it a C demand rating.

The Bombardier Learjet 55 holds a pivotal place in aviation history as the model that introduced stand-up cabin comfort to the legendary Learjet family, creating a spacious midsize environment that allows for greater passenger mobility. Distinguished by its signature winglets for enhanced fuel efficiency, the aircraft delivers a classic blend of rapid climb performance and agile airfield handling, enabling access to a wide variety of regional destinations. Despite its vintage, the "Longhorn" remains a highly relevant performer for medium-haul missions, offering a functional interior with a club seating layout and generous external baggage capacity. For buyers in the pre-owned market, it represents an exceptionally accessible entry point into midsize jet ownership, providing proven reliability and competitive operating costs. Supported by a long service history and the potential for modern upgrades, the Learjet 55 is a strategic choice for those seeking a balance of heritage speed, interior volume, and outstanding value.
