Hawker 800/800XP

The Hawker 800XP is one of the most frequently chartered midsize jets in the private aviation fleet, a proven successor to the original Hawker 800 with upgraded engines, improved climb performance, and a shorter takeoff roll. Its cabin remains among the largest in the midsize category more than two decades after production ended, which is why operators still describe it as a conference room in the sky.

Twin AlliedSignal TFE731-5BR turbofans and a 2,540-nautical-mile range give the 800XP genuine transcontinental reach for a midsize jet, while stand-up headroom along the full cabin length sets it apart from narrower midsize competitors. A cabin pressurization system holding a sea-level-equivalent cabin altitude up to roughly 22,200 feet of cruise altitude also means less fatigue on longer flights than many aircraft in this category.

Production of the Hawker 800XP ran from 1995 to 2006, with roughly 475 aircraft built. A dual digital flight instrumentation suite, twin TFE731-5BR turbofans, and one of the largest cabins in the midsize category define this variant.

The Hawker 800XP's cabin height delivers stand-up headroom along the entire cabin length, a real differentiator against narrower midsize rivals such as the Citation XLS. Combined with a 2,540-nautical-mile range, the 800XP can complete long-range domestic routes nonstop that shorter-range midsize jets cannot, and its cabin pressurization holds a comfortable sea-level-equivalent altitude well into the aircraft's cruise ceiling, a detail that measurably reduces fatigue on longer flights.

A midsize jet trades a light jet's lower hourly rate for more cabin room, more range, and a higher service ceiling. At $3,500 to $5,000 per hour, the Hawker 800XP runs above a light jet such as the Citation CJ3, but its 2,540-nautical-mile range and stand-up cabin suit long-range domestic and international trips a light jet cannot cover.

• More range: 2,540 nm versus roughly 1,800 to 2,100 nm for most light jets, among the longer ranges in the midsize category.
• Higher cost: $3,500 to $5,000 per hour versus $2,500 to $3,500 for a light jet.
• Taller cabin: stand-up headroom versus a light jet's lower cabin.
• Best mission: long-range domestic and select international trips for up to eight passengers where cabin height and range outweigh the light jet's lower hourly rate.

The Hawker 800XP seats eight passengers in a configuration that typically combines a four-person club section with a three-person divan and one forward-facing seat.

• Each seat is fully adjustable and swivels 360 degrees; stand-up headroom runs the full length of the cabin.
• An enclosed aft lavatory and a mini-galley are standard.
• Twelve cabin windows provide natural light throughout the cabin.
• Baggage is stored internally and accessible in flight, up to 48 cubic feet; unlike the Citation XLS, the 800XP has no external baggage compartment, so confirm baggage allowance at booking for larger loads.

The Hawker 800XP performs best on long-range domestic routes where its stand-up cabin and proven reliability outperform a light jet or a shorter-range midsize competitor.

Hawker 800XP charter rates run $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour, standard pricing within the midsize category. Total one-way trip pricing depends on route distance, positioning, and demand. Contact Hogani Jets at charter@hoganijets.com or +1-855-660-0573 for a current quote.

The $3,500 to $5,000 hourly rate covers core operational costs. Additional fees are quoted separately on every trip, which matters when comparing total trip prices.

• Aircraft operation: fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate.
• Pilots: the Hawker 800XP flies with two pilots in charter service.
• Federal excise tax and segment fees: federally mandated, quoted separately.
• Positioning costs: charged if the aircraft must reposition to your departure airport.
• International handling fees: apply on Caribbean, Canada, Europe, and other international hops.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the Cessna Citation XLS/XLS+, which has external baggage capacity the Hawker lacks, and the Citation Latitude, a newer flat-floor midsize jet. The 800XP wins on cabin height and proven reliability; the XLS wins on baggage and short-field performance.

Every Hawker 800XP charter operator's Part 135 certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before booking, with ARGUS, Wyvern, or IS-BAO ratings considered where they exist as one part of that review.

The Hawker 800XP flies with two pilots in charter service and carries a flight deck with traffic collision avoidance and ground proximity warning systems. 

Hogani Jets does not operate the aircraft. Every Hawker 800XP charter is conducted by a licensed Part 135 direct air carrier whose crew, maintenance, and operations remain under that carrier's independent operational control.

The Hawker 800XP is a strong fit on long-range domestic legs where its stand-up cabin and proven track record outperform a shorter-range midsize competitor. The following Hogani Jets route pages cover its most relevant charter corridors.

How much does it cost to charter a Hawker 800XP?

Hawker 800XP charter rates run $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour, standard pricing within the midsize category. One-way trip pricing ranges from about $8,000 for short regional hops to $30,000 or more on long-range transcontinental legs. Final cost depends on route, positioning, and season.

What is the difference between the Hawker 800XP and the 800XPi?

The 800XP and 800XPi share the identical airframe and range. The 800XPi is the avionics-upgraded successor, replacing most 800XP units' original flight deck with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 system and adding a redesigned interior and cabin management system. For a charter passenger, the flying experience is nearly identical.

How is the Hawker 800XP different from the 850XP?

The 850XP builds on the 800XP's later avionics upgrades and adds Hawker winglets for extended range. The standard 800XP does not have winglets, keeping it within its original performance envelope.

How many passengers can the Hawker 800XP carry?

The Hawker 800XP seats up to eight passengers in standard configuration, typically arranged as a four-person club section with a three-person divan and one forward-facing seat.

What is the range of the Hawker 800XP?

The Hawker 800XP has a range of 2,540 nautical miles (2,924 miles), among the longer ranges in the midsize category and enough for many long-range domestic routes nonstop.

Does the Hawker 800XP have external baggage storage?

No. The Hawker 800XP carries its baggage internally, with no external baggage compartment, unlike the Cessna Citation XLS and XLS+, which offer external baggage capacity. Confirm baggage allowance at booking if traveling with significant luggage.

How fast does the Hawker 800XP fly?

The Hawker 800XP cruises at up to 447 knots true airspeed (514 mph) in a high-speed cruise configuration, fast for the midsize category.

How many Hawker 800XPs were built, and are they still in service?

Roughly 475 Hawker 800XPs were built during its 1995 to 2006 production run, and the large majority remain in active charter and private service today, a reflection of the aircraft's reliability.

Are empty leg flights available on the Hawker 800XP?

Yes. The Hawker 800XP's frequent 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 800XP charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers, who maintain full operational control and regulatory compliance for every flight.
