For travellers seeking a Hawker 800XP charter from Dubai, few midsize jets deliver the same combination of proven reliability, generous cabin space, and transregional range. Built by Beechcraft and powered by twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines, the 800XP cruises at 448 knots and covers up to 2,540 nautical miles — making it equally at home on a quick hop to Riyadh or a longer journey to Europe. As a Midsize Jet, it comfortably accommodates up to eight passengers in a well-proportioned cabin that stands out in its class for usable width and volume. Prime Jet Services offers access to this capable and cost-effective aircraft for discerning clients across the UAE and beyond.

History & Development
The Hawker 800XP traces its lineage back to the British Aerospace BAe 125, one of the most enduring business jet platforms in aviation history, which Beechcraft evolved through successive generations under the Hawker brand. Introduced in 1995, the 800XP represented a significant upgrade over the earlier Hawker 800, featuring uprated Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines that delivered improved hot-and-high performance — a particularly relevant advantage for operations in the Middle East and South Asia. The aircraft earned FAA and JAA type certification and quickly became one of the best-selling midsize jets of its era, valued by operators worldwide for its structural robustness, parts availability, and competitive operating economics. With well over 500 examples delivered globally, the 800XP built a strong reputation for dependability in both corporate and charter operations across more than three decades of service.
Cabin & Comfort
The Hawker 800XP’s cabin measures 6.5 metres in length, 1.83 metres wide, and 1.75 metres high — dimensions that allow most passengers to move around without stooping and provide a genuine sense of space for a midsize aircraft. A typical configuration seats up to eight passengers in a forward club-four arrangement with additional aft seating, all finished in leather with individual armrests and work surfaces suited to both business and leisure travel. The galley offers storage for catering and refreshments, while the enclosed aft lavatory provides privacy on longer sectors. Noise suppression improvements introduced on the XP variant make for a quieter cabin environment than earlier 800-series models, and the 50 cu ft baggage hold provides meaningful luggage capacity for multi-day trips with a full complement of passengers.
Ideal Routes from Dubai
The 800XP’s 2,540-nautical-mile range makes it an excellent choice for nonstop regional travel, comfortably connecting Dubai to destinations such as Riyadh (approximately 1 hour), Muscat (under 1 hour), Mumbai (around 2 hours), and Tbilisi in Georgia (roughly 3 hours). Westbound, the aircraft can reach Cairo or Athens in approximately 3 to 3.5 hours, opening up a broad arc of business and leisure destinations across the Middle East, South Asia, and Southern Europe. These routes represent the sweet spot for the 800XP — sectors long enough to justify a dedicated charter yet well within its certified range without operational compromise.
Compare Similar Aircraft
Clients evaluating the Hawker 800XP often consider alternative midsize and super-midsize options depending on their range requirements and group size. The Citation Latitude offers a flat-floor cabin and broader cross-section in the same category, while the Challenger 350 steps up to a wider, stand-up cabin with extended range for those whose routes demand more reach. The Phenom 300E is a popular lighter alternative for smaller groups prioritising speed and lower operating costs on shorter sectors.
