China Type-certifies Learjet 45

Bombardier reported that it has received type approval for the Learjet 45 from the civil aviation agency of China (CAAC). In addition to paving the way for operators to register Learjet 45s in that country, the approval also extends to other models in the Learjet 40 series. The first civil operator to benefit from this approval will be charter operator Global Wings of Tokyo, which plans to base two Learjet 45XRs in Beijing.
