Two of the planned five flight test aircraft, a modified Learjet 40XR and Learjet 45XR, had flown by July 2012. The Learjet 75 received its type certificate from the FAA on 14 November 2013. Deliveries began shortly thereafter. This delay in certification caused order cancellations, and Bombardier's overall deliveries fell below expectations. By 2015, the unit cost of the Learjet 70 was US$11.3 million, and US$13.8 million for the Learjet 75. By 2016, production of Learjet 70 had been temporarily discontinued due to lack of orders (with Learjet 75 still being produced at that time). The 100th Learjet 75 was delivered in June 2017. By January 2019, Bombardier had delivered 132 Learjet 40/40XRs, 454 45/45XRs, and nearly 130 70/75s, including 24 in 2016 and 14 in 2017. In June, Bombardier launched the sub-$10 million Learjet 75 Liberty to compete with the Cessna CitationJet and Embraer Phenom 300 from 2020, with six seats down from eight, no standard APU or lavatory sink, but still Part 25 and not FAR Part 23 certified, with a maximum payload of and a range of . Bombardier announced the end of the production of Learjet aircraft by the end of 2021. The final Learjet 75 was manufactured in January 2022. As Bombardier focuses on its larger Challenger and Global jets, it was delivered on 28 March 2022. ==Deliveries==
