According to Ryanair’s website it’s currently recruiting Learjet 45XR Captains and first officers to join an exciting 24/7 engineering support operation based at Milan Bergamo and London Stansted bases.
The aircraft N5015U construction number 45-454 was delivered through Dublin en route to London Stansted on 21 December and two days later M-ABJA was registered in Isle of Man to Aviation Leasing (IOM) Ltd.
