Hawker Jets
A British Aviation Legacy — Exceptional Cabins, Proven Performance & Outstanding Pre-Owned Value
"There are aircraft manufacturers. And then there is Gulfstream."
The Hawker name carries weight in aviation that spans generations. Born from the same British engineering tradition that produced the Hurricane and the Harrier, the Hawker business jet family brought a distinctly refined sensibility to the midsize jet market — wide cabins, long range, and a level of stand-up comfort that competitors of the era struggled to match. Today, with the brand’s production chapter closed, the Hawker pre-owned market represents one of the most compelling value propositions in business aviation. That engineering heritage—precision, performance, and a refusal to accept second best—was carried into business aviation through a series of acquisitions and partnerships that ultimately produced the Hawker business jet family as the world came to know it.
At Arc Jet Club, Hawker jets feature regularly in our charter fleet and our acquisition advisory work. Here is everything you need to know.
Production Status & What They Cost
All Hawker business jets are pre-owned only — production ceased following Hawker Beechcraft’s restructuring in 2012–2013. This makes the acquisition process exclusively a pre-owned market exercise, which rewards informed buyers with access to genuinely capable aircraft at prices that no current-production competitor can approach.
The Hawker pre-owned market is active and well-supported by a global network of maintenance providers, parts suppliers, and type-rated crews. Honeywell’s continued support for the TFE731 engine family — which powers the 800XP and 900XP — provides meaningful confidence for buyers concerned about long-term parts and service availability. The 4000’s PW308A engines enjoy equally strong manufacturer support from Pratt & Whitney Canada.
| Model | Production Status | Pre-Owned Range |
|---|---|---|
| Hawker 400XP | Discontinued | $1.2–$2.8 million |
| Hawker 750 | Discontinued | $2.0–$3.5 million |
| Hawker 800XP | Discontinued | $1.5–$4.5 million |
| Hawker 850XP | Discontinued | $2.5–$5.0 million |
| Hawker 900XP | Discontinued | $3.5–$6.5 million |
| Hawker 4000 | Discontinued | $4.0–$7.5 million |
Prices are indicative and subject to airframe condition, maintenance status, avionics fit, and market conditions. Arc Jet Club’s acquisition team provides current, independent market valuations.
“The Hawker pre-owned market offers access to wide-cabin, stand-up midsize jets at prices that current-production competitors cannot approach. A well-maintained Hawker 900XP — with a transatlantic-capable range of 2,930 nautical miles and a stand-up cabin that seats nine — can be acquired for significantly less than a comparable new-production midsize. Arc Jet Club advises on identifying the best-maintained examples in a market where condition and maintenance history vary considerably.”
The Full Hawker Fleet
LIGHT JET
Hawker 400XP — British Refinement, Light Jet Economics
Range: 1,619 nm · Up to 8 passengers · Cruise: Mach 0.78 · Pre-owned only. The 400XP brings Hawker’s commitment to cabin quality into the light jet category. Eight passengers, Williams International engines, and a range that covers the full US domestic network make it a capable and economical charter and ownership proposition. For buyers entering the jet market for the first time who want genuine Hawker pedigree at an accessible price — the 400XP is a compelling starting point.MIDSIZE JET
Hawker 750 — The Accessible Midsize
Range: 2,100 nm · Up to 8 passengers · Cabin height: 5.75 ft · Cruise: Mach 0.80 · Pre-owned only. The 750 was Hawker’s attempt to offer a more accessible midsize option — shorter range than the 800 series but the same stand-up cabin at a lower acquisition and operating cost. For buyers who fly primarily on domestic and short international routes and want the Hawker wide-body experience without the full 800 series price, the 750 offers genuine value.MIDSIZE JET
Hawker 800XP — The Definitive Midsize Hawker
Range: 2,642 nm · Up to 9 passengers · Cabin height: 5.75 ft · Stand-up cabin · Cruise: Mach 0.80 · Pre-owned only. The aircraft that made the Hawker name synonymous with midsize excellence. Over a thousand 800-series Hawkers were built — a testament to the market’s verdict on the design. The 800XP’s wide stand-up cabin, transatlantic range, and Honeywell TFE731 engines made it the backbone of midsize charter fleets worldwide for two decades. Well-maintained examples remain among the finest value propositions in pre-owned business aviation.MIDSIZE JET
Hawker 900XP — The Peak of Hawker Midsize
Range: 2,930 nm · Up to 9 passengers · Cabin height: 5.75 ft · Stand-up cabin · Cruise: Mach 0.82 · Pre-owned only. The finest evolution of the Hawker midsize design. New Honeywell TFE731-50R engines, improved fuel efficiency, extended range, and enhanced avionics combine to make the 900XP the most capable and refined midsize Hawker ever produced. For clients who want the classic Hawker experience — wide stand-up cabin, transatlantic capability, proven reliability — in its most accomplished form, the 900XP is the answer. Pre-owned examples in strong condition represent exceptional value in today’s midsize market.SUPER-MIDSIZE JET
Hawker 4000 — Hawker’s Super-Midsize Masterpiece
Range: 3,190 nm · Up to 12 passengers · Cabin length: 25.5 ft · Cabin height: 6 ft · Stand-up cabin · Cruise: Mach 0.84 · Pre-owned only. The most ambitious aircraft Hawker ever produced — and one of the most technically sophisticated super-midsize jets in the pre-owned market. A composite fuselage that was a first for the brand, the widest and tallest cabin Hawker ever offered, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308A engines, and a range that opens intercontinental routing. The 4000 was ahead of its time in many respects and represents an exceptional cabin-per-dollar proposition for buyers who prioritize space and refinement in a super-midsize acquisition.Hawker Model Comparison: Which is Right for You?

The Smart Buyer's Case for Hawker
In a market where new-production light and midsize jets are priced between $10 million and $30 million, the Hawker pre-owned proposition deserves serious attention from buyers who think carefully about value.
A well-maintained Hawker 900XP — with a stand-up cabin, nine-passenger capacity, transatlantic range, and Honeywell engines with strong manufacturer support — can be acquired for a fraction of what a new Citation Longitude or Praetor 500 commands. The operating costs are comparable. The cabin experience is, in several meaningful respects, superior in terms of width and stand-up height. And the Hawker’s depreciation curve has long since flattened — meaning the aircraft retains its value far more predictably than a new-production jet in its first five years of ownership.
The caveat — and it is an important one — is that Hawker acquisition requires expertise. Maintenance history, engine program enrollment, avionics status, and airframe inspection compliance all carry significant weight in determining whether a Hawker represents a genuine opportunity or a costly mistake. Arc Jet Club’s acquisition advisors evaluate every prospective Hawker with the independence and rigor that this market demands.
