Seattle Aviation Solutions Parting Out Learjet 45, 60

Aftermarket parts and support services provider Seattle Aviation Solutions (SAS) has acquired a Bombardier Learjet 45 and 60 that it will disassemble to salvage usable components. The teardown will help support Learjet 45 and 60 operators and maintainers keep those aircraft in service, it said.

During the teardown process, Learjet 45 and 60 operators can login to a dedicated website to view available components as they are removed.

The Model 45 was the first clean-sheet Learjet design since the original Model 23. Deliveries began in 1998 and production ended in 2012, when it was replaced by the Learjet 75. The Model 60, derived from the Learjet 55, first flew in 1990, and production ended in 2007. It was followed by the Learjet 60XR, which was manufactured until 2012.

“At SAS, our mission is to be a trusted partner to the aviation community,” said CEO Mustafa Altork. “This teardown is more than sourcing material. It is about ensuring reliability, reducing operational disruptions, and helping our customers maintain strong fleet performance.”

SAS is one of the Seattle Aviation Group companies, which include Seattle Aviation Solutions, Four Star Accessory Overhaul, and National Aviation.
