Overview & History
The Hawker 750 is a light-midsized business jet. With the same fuselage and wings as the midsize Hawker 800 series, the 750 offers the largest cabin in the light-midsize aircraft segment, plus more baggage space than its predecessor with 79 cubic feet of luggage storage.
As of September 2016, 35% of the Hawker 750 aircraft were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 65% new. 18.8% are currently for sale with a portion of those (33%) under an exclusive broker agreement.
When for sale, the average number of days on the market is 395
The Hawker 750 was launched at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention in October 2006.
An initial order was received at the show from NetJets Aviation and NetJets Europe for 30 aircraft. NetJets increased the order to 60 aircraft in January 2007.
Other orders received include National Air Services (20 aircraft) of Saudi Arabia and Jet Asia (four).
The first flight of the Hawker 750 took place in August 2007 and the aircraft received US FAA certification in February 2008. The aircraft entered service in June 2008, with Jet Asia Limited which has four aircraft on order.

The aircraft is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 axial-flow turbofan engines with optional Nordan thrust reversers. The engines are each rated at 13.19kN (2,965lb) take-off power.
The business jet variant has a fuel capacity of 2,775l.
It takes the Hawker 400XP less than 20 minutes to take off and elevate to its 37,000 ft cruising altitude, which is impressively quick for an aircraft of this size and cost. Once the aircraft has reached a comfortable height it is capable of hitting 450 knots.
This makes it ideal for shorter trips, and this in itself indicates why the aircraft has endured such popularity over a long period of time, even though more modern aircraft have been invented since it hit the market.
Short distance, high comfort flights are what the Hawker 400XP was made for, and this is perfect for business flights and flyers that prioritize comfort above cost.
It can comfortably carry four passengers on a journey exceeding 1,300 miles and does so with fuel consumption which is surprisingly comparable to much more modern aircraft.
Comfort / 05
Hawker 400XP Interior
In total, the cabin spans over 300 cubic ft with space for seven passengers (or more if you’re willing to sacrifice on comfort – but that’s not in the Hawker 400XP’s nature). Tables fold out to ensure you’re never far from a resting place, or to make the aircraft seem even more spacious when not in use.
Chairs rotate 180 degrees to allow passengers to manually reconfigure the cabin’s layout, or even to aid the ease of conversation in a multi-passenger flight.
