About the Hawker Beechcraft Hawker 400XP

When Raytheon consolidated its Hawker and Beechcraft brands, the Beechjet 400A was renamed the Hawker 400XP in 2003 — but the change was more than cosmetic. The XP brought improved wheels and brakes and refined high-speed performance, sharpening the airframe's already-good short-runway manners and widening the range of airports it could comfortably use. Combined with the line's proven reliability, that made it the version operators bought in volume: with around 45 in European charter, the 400XP is by some margin the most numerous member of the Beechjet family on the continent. It carries 6 passengers (up to 7) over 2,963 km at 859 km/h. The XP is the Beechjet at its commercial peak — the one a broker is most likely to put you on.

Performance Excellence

Two crew operate the 400XP across 2,963 km / 1,600 nm at up to 859 km/h (464 ktas) on Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5R turbofans, with the upgraded wheels and brakes improving its already-strong short-field access. Around 45 examples serve European charter at roughly €4,100 per hour — the largest Beechjet fleet in the region. Its case is maturity and availability: the most refined and most numerous version of a proven light jet, with the runway flexibility to use airports its rivals cannot, at a price that keeps it among the most-booked light jets on the continent.

Cabin Comfort

The 400XP's cabin is the Beechjet's proven square, flat-floored space — 4.97 m long, 1.37 m wide, 1.44 m tall — presented in its most refined production form. By the XP's build years the interior had been polished across two decades of continuous manufacture: better materials, updated seats, and the practical touches a busy charter operator values, like an externally-serviceable baggage compartment and a layout optimised for quick boarding. Six passengers in a club-four and pair get the same shoulder-room-preserving vertical walls the family is known for. With more 400XPs flying European charter than any other Beechjet, this is the version of the cabin most passengers will actually experience — the line at its most evolved and most available.

High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
