Learjet to serve vital mid cabin market for Silver Air
Silver Air's PURE management model has been working well, and now it has another jet to add to its roster, a Learjet 60. It will frequent Los Angeles, one of the country's most important charter hubs.
The LR60 will provide more capacity in a hectic segment.

US operator Silver Air has added a midsize Learjet 60 to its managed fleet. Based at Van Nuys airport in Los Angeles, the LR60 can seat up to seven passengers and includes ATG 5000 inflight wi-fi. Its wireless media streaming device provides cabin entertainment, cabin control and a moving map in one unit accessed wirelessly from personal electronic devices.

“With Los Angeles being one of largest charter hubs in the country, there has been an increasing demand for mid-cabin aircraft to service the coastal corridor and beyond,” says president of business development Chuck Stumpf. “Our Lear 60 now under PURE Jet Management is a perfect addition to our Van Nuys fleet, and is available now for charter.”

In addition to its fleet of Gulfstream jets, Silver Air manages and operates other light to large-cabin jets from Dassault, Bombardier, Embraer, Cessna and Hawker/Beechcraft.
