Thrive Aviation (TIV, Las Vegas Henderson) has expanded its Part 135-certified fleet in the United States by adding its first Learjet 60XR, according to ch-aviation research.
The newly inducted N425GS (msn 60-425) is 11.5 years old and was previously flown privately in the US. It flew from Wichita Eisenhower to Las Vegas Harry Reid on August 15, 2024, where it remained until completing a test flight on September 20, 2024.

On the same day, it departed for Jackson Hole, WY, and has since been actively operating under Thrive Aviation's Part 135 certificate. According to the operator, the aircraft can carry up to seven passengers. It has been US-registered throughout its entire history.
