German operator FAI Rent-a-Jet has added a sixth Bombardier Learjet 55 to its fleet bringing the total Learjet line-up to eleven - including two Learjet 35As and three Learjet 60s.
The mid-size aircraft - serial number 61 registrations D-CFAI - will be dedicated to air ambulance duties and is equipped with an additional fuel tank extending its range by up to 540km (300nm), equivalent to around 1h extra hour of flight time, according to FAI.
