Charter of a Hawker 850XP starts at $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour. Certified in 2006, the 850XP was the first Hawker 800-series jet to get blended winglets, adding real range and climb performance over its predecessor. It seats up to nine passengers with a range of 2,642 nautical miles and a 448-knot cruise speed. Twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics complete the package. Hogani Jets coordinates each Hawker 850XP charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

Hawker had already refined the 800 series for a decade before the 850XP arrived. Adding winglets was a small visual change with a real performance payoff.

About 100 nautical miles of extra range and a faster climb came from that one addition. It is widely regarded as the best-selling midsize business jet in its era.

Hawker certified the 850XP in 2006, built on the proven 800XP platform. Blended winglets, the first in the 800 series, and twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines define this generation.

Blended winglets reduce drag at the wingtip, and the 850XP was the first Hawker 800-series aircraft to get them. The effect was real, not cosmetic.

Range grew by roughly 100 nautical miles over the 800XP. Climb to cruising altitude got faster too, a genuine performance gain from one focused change.

The 850XP is the fourth generation in a lineage that started with the Hawker 700 in 1977. Each step added a specific, verifiable upgrade.

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 along the full cabin length.
  • More seats: up to 9 passengers versus 4 to 6 for most light jets.
  • More range: 2,642 nautical miles versus 1,100 to 1,400 nm for most light jets.
  • Best mission: regional and transcontinental trips for groups wanting the most range in the Hawker 800 family.

The Hawker 850XP seats up to nine passengers, typically eight in a double-club layout.

  • Touch-screen seat controls and LCD cabin lighting are standard on most configurations.
  • A fully enclosed lavatory and forward galley support longer trips.
  • Fully berthable seats make overnight or red-eye routing genuinely practical.
  • A flight attendant is typically included, standard practice for this aircraft category.

The Hawker 850XP performs best on regional and transcontinental routes where range and cabin comfort matter alongside cost.

The most common cross-shop comparisons are the Hawker 700 and the Citation XLS Gen2. The 700 is its own earlier ancestor; the XLS Gen2 is a newer competitor. The 850XP wins on outright range within the Hawker family.
