With a long-range capability of 3,341 nm and a high cruise speed of 470 kts, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and select transoceanic flights from its owner/operator base in Wilmington, DE.

The Hawker 4000 occupies a super‑midsize business jet niche offering high cruise speed and long range relative to light and mid-size competitors. In the market, it competes with other super‑midsize types where demand is driven by owners needing intercontinental capability with executive cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308A support, airframe-time since 2011 build, and avionics lifecycle for the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, all factors that influence buyer and charter market interest.
