N552ME

This airframe, registered as N552ME, is a 2000-built Hawker 800XP with serial number 258459. The jet is documented as owned by N552ME LLC, an LLC based in Las Vegas, NV, US, and holds United States registration. The airframe’s operational history shows primary registration and ownership under the Las Vegas-based limited liability company with no additional publicly documented transfers. Valued in contemporary listings at $2,000,000, the airframe presents as a late-model 800-series example with standard age-related market and maintenance considerations.

The cabin of this specific Hawker 800XP is configured in a typical executive layout for two-crew operation plus eight passengers, featuring a forward club seating area, aft seating, and an enclosed lavatory; the configuration is operator-configurable for alternate seating or mission fits. Avionics and specific interior finish details for this airframe are not published; operators commonly adapt 800XP cabins for executive charter, corporate transport, and transcontinental missions consistent with the aircraft’s published range and cruise performance. Based out of Las Vegas under its registered owner, the aircraft is suited to medium-range missions across North America, combining transregional capability with a high-mid cabin standard. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on scheduled engine and airframe inspections appropriate to TFE731-equipped Hawkers of this vintage, with component life-limited items and avionics upgrades potentially affecting utilization and cost of operation.

The Hawker 800XP occupies the mid-size, mid-range business jet niche, offering cruise speeds and range that support transregional point-to-point travel for small groups. With a ceiling of 41,000 ft, seating for 8, and a cruise of 430 kts, it competes in the resale and charter market against other mid-size business jets offering similar mission capabilities. Buyer and charter demand for late-model 800XPs typically hinges on engine hours, maintenance status, and avionics fitment; this airframe’s listed valuation of $2,000,000 reflects market positioning where maintenance status and refurbishment can materially influence resale prospects.
