2003–2010 for the Hawker 400XP

The Hawker 400XP is a later development of the Beechjet 400A, pairing a wide-feeling squared-oval cabin with the quick cruise performance associated with this light-jet lineage. It can be considered when travelers need a functional meeting-oriented layout, provided the operator confirms the actual approved seats, baggage and aircraft condition.

Why the Hawker 400XP remains a charter consideration

Hawker Beechcraft applied the 400XP name to the established Model 400A platform in the 2000s, continuing a design whose roots trace to the Mitsubishi Diamond and Beechjet. The manufacturer promoted the 400XP directly to charter operators, which helps explain its continued market recognition, while current examples now differ considerably in interior refurbishment, avionics and connectivity.

Light Jet category-level whole-aircraft planning range; not a live offer or a model-specific quote. Pricing was reviewed August 29, 2026 and the current planning policy is effective through November 30, 2026. Only a current written proposal confirms the aircraft, direct carrier, inclusions, conditional charges and total trip price.

Inside the Hawker 400XP

The reviewed N400CN direct-tail sheet measures the cabin at 15.6 feet long, 4.9 feet wide and 4.8 feet high and shows eight approved passenger positions, Wi-Fi and an enclosed lavatory; Duncan Aviation lists 305 cubic feet of cabin volume, while a second reviewed 400XP tail uses seven seats plus a belted lavatory. The squared-oval section provides useful seated shoulder room, facing seats and work surfaces can support meetings, and cabin windows admit natural daylight across the seating area. Hawker Beechcraft published 73 cubic feet of internal and external baggage capacity, while ergonomics, outlets, installed lighting and refreshment equipment remain tail-specific.

Hawker 400XP range, cruise speed and flight deck

Hawker Beechcraft published a maximum cruise speed of 465 knots for the 400XP, while the reviewed eight-seat N400CN sheet lists 1,333 nautical miles as that tail's maximum-range reference. Twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5R engines, a swept wing and Collins Pro Line 4 avionics define the factory platform; direct-tail sheets show materially different configurations, so the carrier must approve route, runway, payload, weather and reserve calculations for the offered aircraft.

Is the Hawker 400XP right for your charter?

The Hawker 400XP can work well for regional business travel when a broad seated cabin and club layout matter more than stand-up height.

Questions about chartering the Hawker 400XP

How many passengers can the Hawker 400XP carry?
Typically 7–8 executive passengers; manufacturer references allow up to 9 by layout. That is a model-level reference, not a promise for every tail. The approved seat map, required crew, payload, baggage and mission conditions determine the passenger count that the direct carrier can accept.
What is the charter range of the Hawker 400XP?
Up to approximately 1,333 nm on reviewed tail N400CN is the reviewed planning reference for this profile. Direct-tail reference; passenger count, cruise profile, routing, weather and reserves change practical range. Winds, weather, routing, runway conditions, payload and required reserves determine practical nonstop capability.
What type of charter mission suits the Hawker 400XP?
The Hawker 400XP can work well for regional business travel when a broad seated cabin and club layout matter more than stand-up height. Share all travelers, bags and productivity requirements so Jet Partners can compare the specific 400XP with other light jets and present written direct-carrier, aircraft, price and cancellation terms before booking. The direct carrier must still approve the actual aircraft, payload, airports, weather, routing and required reserves for the requested trip.
How much does it cost to charter the Hawker 400XP?
The reviewed category planning range is $6,800–$9,900 per billable hour. It is not a Hawker 400XP-specific offer; positioning, billable time, minimums, airports, taxes, fees, crew requirements and the actual aircraft determine the written trip price.
What cabin amenities are available on the Hawker 400XP?
The reviewed N400CN direct-tail sheet measures the cabin at 15.6 feet long, 4.9 feet wide and 4.8 feet high and shows eight approved passenger positions, Wi-Fi and an enclosed lavatory; Duncan Aviation lists 305 cubic feet of cabin volume, while a second reviewed 400XP tail uses seven seats plus a belted lavatory. The squared-oval section provides useful seated shoulder room, facing seats and work surfaces can support meetings, and cabin windows admit natural daylight across the seating area. Hawker Beechcraft published 73 cubic feet of internal and external baggage capacity, while ergonomics, outlets, installed lighting and refreshment equipment remain tail-specific. Those are model-level and reviewed-aircraft references; every required seat, lavatory, power, connectivity, entertainment, catering and baggage feature must be confirmed on the proposed tail.
Who operates a flight on the Hawker 400XP arranged through Jet Partners?
Jet Partners acts as an air charter broker and does not operate the aircraft. The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the written proposal provides the flight, retains operational control and makes final safety and operational decisions.
