RESEARCH NOTES
About N188TS
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This article covers the specific airframe registered as N188TS, a factory-built Learjet 45 delivered in 2021 bearing manufacturer serial number 598. The airframe is owned by Thorair LLC, a limited liability company based in Sandusky, OH, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft carries a documented cabin certification of 12 seats (operator configuration may vary), and its relatively recent build year places it among the newer examples of its type with corresponding modern-component life remaining.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe's cabin is registered for 12 seats, and documentation notes that the operator configuration may differ from the certified layout; this airframe therefore supports typical business-jet seating densities up to that number. With a published cruise speed of 465 kts and a maximum practical range of 2,040 nm, the aircraft is suited to medium-haul business missions and point-to-point charters from its owner base in Sandusky, OH, US. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific aircraft are influenced by its twin Honeywell TFE731-40BR1B engines, each rated at 3,850 lbf, and by its recent manufacture in 2021, which generally implies contemporary component status and remaining overhaul intervals. The registry entry in the US reflects standard civil compliance and operator-configurable cabin arrangements.
Model & Market Context
As a member of the Learjet family produced by Learjet Inc, the Learjet 45 of serial 598 occupies a performance niche defined by high cruise speeds and transcontinental light-jet capability, demonstrated by this airframe’s 465 kts cruise and 2,040 nm range. Competing models in the light-to-light-medium business jet category offer similar speed-capability combinations; buyer and charter demand for a 2021-built airframe such as N188TS is typically influenced by engine condition, avionics fit, and certified cabin seating of 12. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the twin Honeywell TFE731-40BR1B engine program status and the aircraft’s recent build year that can favorably affect remaining component life and marketability.
