Bombardier Business Aircraft last week delivered the first Learjet 75 that will be based in Poland. It was handed over to an undisclosed customer in the Eastern European country following type approval by the Poland's Civil Aviation Authority. The Learjet 75 light jet—a longer-range version of the Learjet 45 with Garmin G5000 integrated avionics, redesigned winglets and more efficient Honeywell TFE731-40BR engines—was certified by the U.S. FAA in November 2013.		"Learjet has a heritage than spans more than 50 years and remains a standard for high-performing business jets," said Valeria Kolyuchaya, Bombardier Business Aircraft's regional vice president for sales in Eastern Europe, Russia and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). "We are confident the Learjet 75 aircraft will provide customers in Poland with an experience that exceeds all expectations."

According to Bombardier 50 Learjet 75s are now in service around the world. Besides the U.S. and Poland, other country approvals for the light jet include Namibia, France,	Austria, Malta and Mexico, with "more to come this year," a company spokeswoman told AIN.
