The Hawker 800XP is the most popular and successful variant of the celebrated Hawker 800 series. Introduced in 1995, the XP—standing for “Extended Performance”—brought together more powerful engines, aerodynamic refinements, and higher payload capability, elevating an already proven midsize jet into one of the most versatile and enduring business aircraft ever produced.

For nearly two decades of production, the 800XP was the backbone of corporate flight departments, charter operators, and private owners worldwide. Today, it remains one of the most sought-after midsize jets on the pre-owned market thanks to its ideal balance of range, cabin comfort, and cost efficiency.

WHY THE HAWKER 800XP REMAINS A FAVORITE

• Enhanced Performance: The 800XP is powered by twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines, delivering 4,660 pounds of thrust each. These engines gave the XP improved hot-and-high performance, faster climb rates, and a long-range cruise speed of 430–445 knots. With a range of approximately 2,500 nautical miles, the 800XP became a true transcontinental workhorse, capable of nonstop flights such as New York–Los Angeles or London–Moscow.

• Payload Flexibility: One of the XP’s most significant upgrades was its higher maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 28,000 pounds. This increase allowed operators to carry more passengers, baggage, and fuel simultaneously, improving operational flexibility compared to the earlier 800A.

• Spacious Stand-Up Cabin: The Hawker 800XP features the series’ hallmark stand-up cabin, over 21 feet long with a flat floor and a cross-section providing ample headroom and shoulder space. Configured for up to 8 passengers in an executive club layout, the cabin remains quiet, refined, and comfortable—even on long flights. With its excellent ergonomics and generous baggage space, the 800XP continues to compare favorably to newer midsize jets.

• Proven Reliability and Market Value: The Hawker 800XP quickly established itself as a dominant force in the midsize jet market. With hundreds built and a robust global support infrastructure, it continues to benefit from strong parts availability, pilot familiarity, and predictable operating economics. Well-maintained 800XPs hold their value strongly on the pre-owned market, making them an attractive investment.
