Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N12XP, is a 2006 Nextant 400XT remanufacture of the Hawker 400 series bearing serial RK-458. The conversion was carried out under the Nextant program with legacy involvement from Raytheon Aircraft Company / Nextant (conversion); the aircraft is registered in the US and is registered to XPRESS-AIR LLC, a corporation based in Cortland, NY. As of the latest valuation data the airframe is listed at $2,100,000, reflecting its remanufactured engines and avionics fit and suggesting a market position as a modernized light business jet. There are no additional public registry actions noted beyond its corporate ownership and U.S. registration.
The cabin of N12XP follows the typical Nextant 400XT executive layout with an executive 6–8 passenger club configuration and a belted aft lavatory, providing a balance of passenger comfort and seating flexibility within a 10-seat certification. The flight deck is equipped with the commonly installed Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite found in 400XT remanufactures, supporting modern navigation and flight management capabilities for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator procedures. Operated by XPRESS-AIR LLC from Cortland, NY, the aircraft’s performance (notably its 430 kts cruise and 1,895 nm range) suits regional and trans-regional charter or corporate missions, emphasizing speed and efficient point-to-point routing. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect typical Nextant remanufacture items: upgraded Williams FJ44 engines and associated life-limited components, along with support requirements for Pro Line 21 avionics.
The Nextant 400XT represents a remanufacture strategy for the Hawker 400 series that modernizes engines and avionics to extend service life and improve economics; N12XP exemplifies that approach. With twin Williams FJ44-3AP engines delivering 3,050 lbf each, the type targets operators seeking light-jet cruise speeds and altitudes up to 45,000 ft combined with lower operating costs than older legacy installations. Market demand for such remanufactured airframes typically centers on charter operators and corporate owners seeking upgraded performance without the acquisition cost of a new-build jet, and resale considerations focus on documented conversion work, engine time, and avionics currency reflected in the listed $2,100,000 valuation.
