Capital Jets, an aircraft management company and 14 CFR Part 135 aircraft operator, has expanded its operations with the addition of a Learjet 60XR. Based at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airport, the aircraft will serve routes across the US Southeast, focusing on New York and Miami.

The Learjet 60XR is known for its speed, range and cabin comfort (circa 2,400nm range, Mach 0.81 cruise speed and stand-up cabin) and is well suited for travel throughout the US. The aircraft accommodates up to seven passengers and provides access to airports not served by commercial airlines, offering greater flexibility and efficiency for business and leisure travellers.

“This fleet expansion marks a significant milestone in our continued growth trajectory across both aircraft management and charter services,” says Anthony Temperino, director of operations.

Capital Jets recently earned the ARGUS Platinum rating, one of the most respected independent safety ratings in business aviation. The Platinum rating is awarded to operators that successfully complete an on-site comprehensive audit of their safety systems, operational controls, pilot standards, maintenance practices and regulatory compliance.
