Operate = direct cost/hour (fuel + maintenance + engine); excludes fixed costs (hangar, crew, insurance). The Learjet 23 itself is effectively NOT in charter service (only ~one airworthy worldwide), so no real 23 charter quotes exist. Band shown is the closest in-service sibling, the Learjet 24, as a proxy for this oldest light-jet class: JETVIP lists Learjet 24 from 2000 EUR / 2,360 USD per hour; Paramount Business Jets cites ~3,100 USD/hr. No Brazil-specific Learjet 23/24 charter rate found (Flapper/FlightMarket list only newer Lears).
