The Hawker 400XP is the refined, best-selling version of the 400-series light jet. The airframe began as the Mitsubishi Diamond II, became the Beechjet 400 and 400A under Beechcraft, was renamed the Hawker 400 after Raytheon's 1993 merger, and was refined into the 400XP in 2004 with a revamped interior, improved aerodynamics, and better range. With over 700 of the series built, it is one of the most successful light jets ever. It remains valued for its flat-floor cabin, speed, and reliability.

The Hawker 400XP cabin is one of the roomiest-feeling in the light-jet class. Its squared-oval cross-section and flat floor give more usable shoulder and foot room than round-cabin competitors, seating up to 8 in a club layout with chairs that rotate 90 degrees for in-flight meetings.

The flat floor and squared-oval shape make the cabin feel notably more open than its 4.9-foot width suggests, a signature of the 400 series.
Baggage capacity of 51 cubic feet across compartments holds about six suitcases.
A fully enclosed private lavatory, refreshment galley, and fold-out tables are standard. Seats swivel, recline, and on some aircraft convert to berths.
Enhanced soundproofing gives a quiet cabin. Wi-Fi varies by operator, so confirm at booking.

Baggage note for the Hawker 400XP: The 51 cubic foot hold comfortably handles up to seven passengers with luggage and sports gear. For more range with a full cabin, the Nextant 400XT, which remanufactures this airframe, is the step up.

The Hawker 400XP is the refined best-seller of the 400-series light jet. The airframe began as the Mitsubishi Diamond II, became the Beechjet 400 and 400A, was renamed the Hawker 400, refined into the 400XP, and later remanufactured as the Nextant 400XT. All share the same flat-floor airframe. This comparison shows where the 400XP sits.

How much does it cost to charter a Hawker 400XP?

Hawker 400 and 400XP charter rates run $2,300 to $3,300 per flight hour, the standard light-jet band. One-way trip pricing ranges from about $8,000 for short hops to $16,000 for longer runs. Pricing varies by route, positioning, and season.

Is the Hawker 400XP the same as the Beechjet 400A?

They share the same airframe. The Beechjet 400A was renamed the Hawker 400 after Raytheon's 1993 merger, then refined into the 400XP in 2004 with a revamped interior, improved aerodynamics, and better range. The 400XP is the more refined, best-selling version of the two.

Why is the Hawker 400XP cabin considered roomy?

The Hawker 400XP uses a squared-oval cross-section with a flat floor instead of the round cabin of many light jets. This gives more usable shoulder and foot room than its 4.9-foot width suggests, and is a defining feature of the popular 400 series.

How many passengers can the Hawker 400XP carry?

The Hawker 400XP typically seats up to 7 passengers in a club layout, with some configurations carrying up to 8 including a belted lavatory seat. The flat-floor cabin makes it comfortable for small groups on short to mid trips.

What is the range of the Hawker 400XP?

The Hawker 400XP has a range of 1,663 nautical miles (1,914 miles), improved over the earlier Beechjet 400A. This covers fast US regional, three hour flight time pairs and the near Bahamas, but not longer Caribbean legs such as Turks and Caicos or San Juan. For those, the Nextant 400XT or a midsize jet is the better fit.

How fast does the Hawker 400XP fly?

The Hawker 400XP cruises at about 518 mph (450 ktas), fast for a light jet, and reaches its cruising altitude in under 20 minutes. Its service ceiling of 45,000 feet keeps it above most weather and traffic.

Is the Hawker 400XP still available for charter?

Yes. With over 700 of the 400 series built, the Hawker 400XP is widely available in charter and one of the most popular light jets in the market, valued for its speed, flat-floor cabin, and standard light-jet rate.

Is Hogani Jets a direct air carrier?

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All Hawker 400XP charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers, who maintain full operational control and regulatory compliance for every flight.
