A light jet does not have the range to fly from the United States to Monaco’s gateway at Nice without several stops, so on a Monaco trip it suits shorter flights.
Bombardier built the Learjet 40 from 2003 to 2012. It seats 6 to 7 with a published range of 1,857 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 464 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 51,000 feet, 50 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

The Learjet 40 on a Monaco Trip
Nice is a busy airport with slots all year, so your advisor settles the arrival time with the operator when the trip is booked.
The crossing to Nice, the gateway for Monaco, is roughly 3,500 nautical miles from the East Coast, so for that flight your advisor will suggest a jet with the range for it. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator before you book.
How Monaco Clients Use the Learjet 40
Most light jets take six to eight passengers, many carry a lavatory, and a small group is comfortable on board for a couple of hours.
Give us the dates, the number of passengers, the bags and the city you are leaving from, and your advisor will say whether this aircraft is right for the trip or put a better one in front of you.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- 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.
