A Mexico-based business aviation company said this week it took delivery of three new Learjet 75s.

Aerolineas Ejecutivas said the three Wichita-built jets will be used for executive charter and its MexJet fractional ownership program.

The company, based in Mexico City, did not disclose the value of the order.

The super-light business jet is priced at $13.8 million.

“With the addition of three sleek new Learjet 75 craft to the fleet, our MexJet fractional flight program will become even more attractive to business leaders and others throughout the Americas,” Arturo Javier Ortega Olive, Aerolineas president, said in a news release.

In Wichita, Bombardier Business Aircraft produces the Learjet 70 and 75. It also operates a service center and a flight test center for the company’s business and commercial aircraft.
