Learjet Wichita

Wichita Learjet

Learjets made by Wichita help QuikTrip to explore the area. Here's another good excuse for Wichita to fall in love with QuikTrip. Located in Tulsa, the grocery supply network known for its tidy shops and bathroom, tailor-made foods and fountains is a long-time promoter of Wichita's aerospace industries. QuikTrip has its own flying division with eight full-time pilot aircraft to operate the $11 billion private enterprise with more than 700 shops in 11 states - 37 in Wichita, Derby and Park City.

They' re flying four Bombardier Learjet 75 Bombardier 75 commercial jet planes made in Wichita. The QuikTrip Flight Operations was the object of a Garmin Aviation production that was published on its Facebook page this past Monday. QuikTrip Flight Operations, located at Tulsa International Airport, will operate two to three of its Learjets on most days of the week, said Ed Ptak, Air Operations Manager at QuikTrip, in an email to The Eagle on Friday.

Said the corporation bought its first Learjet 75 in 2014. Mr Ptak added that the Learjet 75s superseded two Learjet Forties and two Learjet Forties. QT's flying operation had previously also run a Cessna 414 and Beechcraft Bonanza twin-engine aircraft, which were also manufactured in Wichita. QuikTrip's closeness to the two towns makes it easy to buy from Wichita producers.

"We had the honour of working with several airplane makers in Wichita since we first bought planes in the 1970' s, so the air traffic experience and know-how of the town played an important role," Ptak said. So was the Learjet 75's Learjet 75 electronics, manufactured by the Olathe-based company Garmin, which was the cause of the film.

Nevertheless, Wichita's "proximity to Tulsa and our relation to Wichita was a big advantage for the choice to buy the Learjet 75s," Ptak said.

During June, a demonstration of the C-Series 100 took off on its first ever air service from Dublin to Zurich with around 100 guests, among them airlines' captains. CS100, the carrier's first paid customer CS100 business jet service, is planned for 15 July. Meanwhile, the plane is in the Bombardier Test Center in Wichita.

Perhaps what many don't know is that the 1.3 million square meter site comprises a highly frequented Bombardier Flight Test Centre, a Business Mission Group and a recently extended Services Area. Wichita's Learjet location is engaged in flight testing and other activities.
