Seating includes a four-place club area with executive folding tables and a three-seat divan in the back. Like the Lear 35, the Lear 31 has a small lavatory located in the front of the plane.

Most of the Lear 31 aircraft available for charter come equipped with WiFi and enhanced multimedia options not available upon initial release of the aircraft. While smaller than some other Light Jets, the Lear 31 makes up for cabin size with one of the smoothest flying experiences in its class.

Bombardier Aerospace designed the Learjet 31 after the Learjet 35 and 36, with changes to the wings and exterior. The Learjet 31 uses Garret TFE 731-2-4-3B engines, providing it with superior speed in the light jet category, up to .81 Mach (456 ktas). It employs more modern wings which are also on the Learjet 55. The aircraft is also equipped with “delta fins” under the tail for improved directional stability at any speed.

The Lear 31 has upgraded avionics with automatic climb and descent modes that control flight for excellent performance. The control board is carefully organized to decrease workload, which makes it a favorite among pilots.
