Learjet 31

The Learjet 31 is the short-range sprinter in the Mexico light-jet market, built by Bombardier on the Learjet 35 fuselage with a wing and delta fins engineered for strong high-altitude climb. It is a frequent quote for short Texas-to-Mexico corridors where speed is the specification and the group is small.

Bombardier‘s Learjet 31 married the Learjet 35 fuselage to the Learjet 55’s wing with delta fins added, producing a jet with strong hot-day departure performance. Six to eight seats, 458 knots and 1,400 nautical miles of range.

Why the Learjet 31 Fits Mexico

Climb rate and high-altitude performance are where the Learjet 31 earns its place on Mexico quotes. Toluca, the private jet gateway for Greater Mexico City, sits at 8,460 feet of elevation, and warm-afternoon density altitude there can exceed 11,000 feet. The Learjet 31’s hot-and-high capability is a tangible advantage on departures from that airport, though actual performance for any specific payload and temperature is the operator’s calculation to provide.

At 1,400 nautical miles the Learjet 31 has the shortest range of the fast light jets in this category. Houston to Monterrey at roughly 430 nautical miles and Dallas to Monterrey at around 580 are well inside that envelope. Mexico City from the US border pushes further, and a full cabin with bags from a mid-US-city departure is a trip to discuss with the operator.

The Learjet cabin is narrow and low by current standards, which is the honest trade for the speed. A two-person executive run to Monterrey is an excellent Learjet 31 trip. A family of six headed into Cancun for a resort week is a different conversation.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.

Charter Pricing Reference

Industry hourly rates for the Learjet 31 run $3,200 to $4,500 per hour as of 7/2026. Actual quotes vary by operator, routing, positioning, and date.

The Learjet 31 sits mid-band for Mexico light-jet rates, and on the short Texas-to-Monterrey sectors where speed and performance carry the most weight it often beats aircraft that look cheaper on the hourly number alone.
