NJM lands world speed record

Michigan, USA-based Learjet operator Northern Jet Management has set a world speed record of 492.5 mph from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Naples, Florida, in a Learjet 45XR aircraft.

“NJM has long been known for safely delivering passengers,” says CEO Chuck Cox. “In fact, our team has been operating business aircraft for more than 99,000 consecutive hours without an incident. Safety is our number one priority and it always will be. But this world speed record is another achievement our team can be proud of.”
