Charter of a Hawker 700 starts at $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour. Certified in 1977, the Hawker 700 was the first aircraft in a family that grew into the 750, 800, 800XP, and 850XP still flying today. It seats up to eight passengers with a range of 1,700 nautical miles and a 430-knot cruise speed. Twin Honeywell TFE731-3RH turbofan engines power a genuine stand-up cabin, unusual for a midsize jet of its era. Hogani Jets coordinates each Hawker 700 charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

Every Hawker midsize jet flying today traces back to one aircraft. The 700 was first certified in 1977. Everything since has been a refinement of what it got right from the start.

Over 200 were built before production ended in 1984. Many still fly in charter service, a genuine testament to how well the original design held up.

Hawker first flew the 700 in 1976 and received US and UK certification in 1977. Twin Honeywell TFE731-3RH turbofan engines and a genuinely spacious stand-up cabin define this aircraft.

Every Hawker midsize jet in charter service today shares a real, documented lineage back to the 700. Each generation kept the core cabin cross-section and made specific, targeted upgrades.

If a different Hawker generation is quoted, see our separate Hawker 750 or 850XP pages for their own specs.

The Hawker 700's cockpit reflects its 1977 certification, with period-correct analog instruments rather than a modern glass display. Many individual aircraft have been upgraded since.

What has not aged is the cabin. Its stand-up headroom was unusual for a midsize jet of its era. It remains genuinely comfortable by today's standards.

A midsize jet trades some efficiency for more cabin room, range, and passenger capacity than a light jet offers.

More cabin room: a genuine stand-up cabin, unusual for an aircraft of this vintage.
More seats: up to 8 passengers versus 4 to 6 for most light jets.
Proven design: the aircraft that started an entire family still flying today.
Best mission: regional trips for groups who value a genuine piece of Hawker's history.

The Hawker 700 seats up to eight passengers, typically in a five-seat executive layout with a three-place divan.

Five slide-swivel-reclining executive seats and a side-facing divan make up the standard layout.
A minimalist forward galley supports light catering.
An enclosed aft lavatory doubles as a ninth seat if needed.
There is no flight attendant standard on this aircraft category; confirm service expectations at booking.

The Hawker 700 performs best on regional routes where cabin comfort matters alongside cost.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the Hawker 750 and the Citation Excel. The 750 is its own descendant; the Excel is a similar-era midsize jet. The Hawker 750 wins on cabin size and baggage access.

Every Hawker 700 charter operator's Part 135 certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking.

Given the aircraft's age, confirm your specific operator's avionics and maintenance status directly. Hogani Jets does not operate the aircraft.

Every charter is conducted by a licensed Part 135 direct air carrier under that carrier's independent operational control.

How much does it cost to charter a Hawker 700?

Hawker 700 charter rates typically run $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour. Final cost depends on route, positioning, and season.

What is the difference between the Hawker 700 and the Hawker 750?

The 750 removed the 700's ventral fuel tank for a larger external baggage hold, using newer TFE731-5BR engines. Both share the same cabin cross-section.

How many passengers can the Hawker 700 carry?

The Hawker 700 seats up to eight passengers, with a ninth seat available in the enclosed lavatory if needed.

What is the real range of a Hawker 700?

Published figures reach up to 2,933 nautical miles. With a full passenger load, realistic range runs closer to 1,700 to 2,000 nautical miles.

Does the Hawker 700 have a stand-up cabin?

At roughly 5 feet 8 inches of cabin height, most passengers can stand comfortably. That is unusual for a midsize jet of its era.

Which other Hawker jets share this design?

The 700 was the first in a family that grew into the 750, 800, 800XP, 800XPi, and 850XP. All share the same core cabin cross-section.

Are empty leg flights available on the Hawker 700?

Yes. The Hawker 700's regional positioning creates empty-leg opportunities at meaningful savings off standard one-way rates. Availability is short-notice and date-fixed, so Hogani Jets recommends flexibility when chasing empty-leg pricing.

Is Hogani Jets a direct air carrier?

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All Hawker 700 charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers, holding full operational and regulatory control.
