The price depends on the route, the dates, the season and where the aircraft has to come from. A full charter costs more than an empty leg, because you pay for the flight back too.

The 40XR is out of production, so figures come from Jetcraft's overview, with dimensions, cabin size and fuel capacity from GlobalAir. Wikipedia's specification table covers the base Learjet 40, so we did not use it for figures. GlobalAir lists a maximum range of 1,960 nm and a top speed of 465 knots. We show Jetcraft's figures where both exist.
The Learjet 40XR is a light jet from Bombardier. A typical layout seats six passengers, it flies about 1,860 nautical miles and it can climb to 51,000 ft. It is an upgraded Learjet 40, and production ended in 2012.
The Learjet 40 is a shortened Learjet 45, with a fuselage 24.5 inches shorter. The prototype first flew on 31 August 2002. The FAA certified the 40 in July 2003, and it entered service in January 2004.
Bombardier introduced the 40XR in October 2004. It swaps the Honeywell TFE731-20AR engines of the base 40 for upgraded TFE731-20BR engines, which give higher takeoff weights, a faster cruise and a faster climb. Bombardier built 133 Learjet 40 and 40XR jets in all, and Jetcraft counts 93 of them as 40XRs. Production ended in 2012.
In 2024 Jetcraft counted 92 Learjet 40XR jets in operation. About 70 percent were in North America and 23 percent in South America. The Learjet 75 was later developed from this aircraft.

In Bombardier's Learjet line, the 40 took the place of the Learjet 31A and sits below the larger Learjet 45 it was built from. Jetcraft notes that the 40 is 24.5 inches shorter than the 45 and 150 lb lighter at maximum takeoff weight, which helps performance and running costs.

Jetcraft lists a typical layout of six passengers and two crew. Wikipedia lists seven passengers as the maximum for the Learjet 40.
Jetcraft lists 1,862 nautical miles with four passengers and NBAA IFR reserves. That is enough for London to Athens, or New York to Dallas, without a stop, depending on passengers, weather and reserves.
The 40XR has upgraded Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines in place of the 20AR engines. That gives higher takeoff weights, a faster cruise and a faster climb.
No. Production ended in 2012. Jetcraft counts 93 built.
