AirCare1 Replaces Learjet 35A with Second Learjet 60
AirCare1 has retired its final Learjet 35A, replacing it with a second Learjet 60, which now becomes the sole aircraft type in its fleet. The Learjet 60, which was previously the last of its kind operated by Cutter Aviation (CTF, Phoenix Sky Harbor) under its Part 135-certified fleet, will now serve as the primary aircraft for AirCare1.
The retired Learjet 35A, registered as N403DP (msn 35A-446), was the final unit of three Learjet 35As that AirCare1 had operated since 2013. The first Learjet 35A was retired in 2019, followed by the second earlier this year. This 43.2-year-old aircraft has been US-registered throughout its operational life but is now no longer part of any Part 135 operator’s fleet.
Replacing the Learjet 35A is the 31.3-year-old Learjet 60, N843CP (msn 60-011), which is the second Learjet 60 in AirCare1’s fleet. The company announced the aircraft replacement on November 1, stating that the Learjet 60 had already completed its first mission. According to ADS-B data, the Learjet 60 was in service on October 31, flying from Phoenix Deer Valley to Denver Centennial, continuing to Great Falls, and returning to Phoenix Deer Valley. This Learjet 60 has remained US-registered for most of its operational history, with the exception of a one-year period when it had a Danish registration between 1999 and 2000.
Specializing in medical air transportation, AirCare1 now operates a fleet exclusively made up of two Learjet 60s. These aircraft are equipped to serve as airborne intensive care units, providing air ambulance, medical escort, and specialty transport services. The shift to a fleet of only Learjet 60s is in line with AirCare1’s mission to provide reliable, high-quality medical air transport solutions.
Meanwhile, Cutter Aviation, which previously operated the Learjet 60, has retired the Learjet 60 model from its fleet but will continue operating a Learjet 60SE, a similar model. Cutter’s fleet also includes a diverse range of aircraft such as one Citation Latitude, one HondaJet, three HondaJet (APMG)s, one PC-12/47, four PC-12 NGs, and two PC-24s.
In addition to its private jet charter services, Cutter Aviation provides fixed-base operations (FBO) at several locations including Albuquerque International, Colorado Springs, Georgetown Executive, Phoenix Deer Valley, Phoenix Sky Harbor, and Prescott. The company also offers aircraft maintenance services, as well as aircraft acquisitions and sales.
