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.

Choose the Hawker 400XP for the most widely available and refined version of this airframe. The Beechjet 400A is the earlier, value option, while the Nextant 400XT remanufactures the airframe with new engines and avionics for the best performance. All three fly at a similar light-jet rate.

The Hawker 400XP performs well on fast short and mid-range routes within its 1,663nm range. These represent its most common charter missions.

Route	ICAO Codes	Est. Time	Notes
New York to Miami	KTEB to KOPF	~2h 45m	Fast East Coast run.
Houston to Nassau, Bahamas	KHOU to MYNN	~2h 45m	Long hop near range limit.

Los Angeles to St. Louis	KVNY to KSTL	~3h 15m	Transcontinental-edge run.

The Hawker 400XP's 1,663 nm range covers fast US regional and transcontinental-edge 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.

Hawker 400XP charter rates run $2,300–$3,300 per flight hour, the standard light-jet band and strong value for a fast, wide-cabin jet. Total one-way trip pricing depends on route distance, positioning, and demand. For a current Hawker 400XP quote, contact Hogani Jets at charter@hoganijets.com or +1-855-660-0573.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Hawker 400 and 400XP charter rates run $2,300–$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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
