The Learjet 35 is a 1970s-and-1980s light jet that still runs the longest legs in the light-jet category out of Naples. With 2,125 nautical miles of range and 464-knot cruise, the 35 flies APF-to-Aspen nonstop, which a Phenom 300 will do but a Learjet 31 or Beechjet 400A will not.
Bombardier’s Learjet division produced the 35 from 1974 through 1994 across roughly 700 airframes. Two Garrett TFE731-2 turbofans drive the type to 464 knots at up to 45,000 feet, six to eight passengers, 2,125 nautical miles of range, and 40 cubic feet of baggage. Belted lavatory. The 35A and long-range 35A variant carry the same core specs on the fleet sheet.

Why the Learjet 35 Fits Naples
Range at 2,125 nautical miles opens up APF-to-Aspen (ASE), APF-to-Toronto (YYZ), and APF-to-Denver (APA) as nonstop pairings with a light cabin. That is unusual for a light jet in this age bracket and is the reason the 35 still earns its slot in the Naples market.
The type is common on medevac and repositioning charter runs; when it shows up on a Naples passenger quote it is often between other missions rather than as a scheduled Naples asset. Availability is charter-market driven.
APF is comfortable for the 35 on any typical day. The belted lavatory and older cabin fit-and-finish are worth flagging to a client used to a newer light jet.
