Hawker 850XP Charter

When it comes to midsize private travel that blends genuine transatlantic reach with a refined onboard environment, a Hawker 850XP charter stands apart as one of the smartest choices available. Representing the pinnacle of the celebrated Hawker series, this Beechcraft-built Midsize Jet introduced winglet technology that meaningfully extended range and improved fuel efficiency over its predecessors. With the ability to seat up to nine passengers and cruise at 448 knots, it delivers the speed and capacity that busy executives and discerning leisure travellers alike demand. Prime Jet Services is proud to offer access to this outstanding aircraft as part of our curated fleet of charter solutions based in Dubai.

Technical Specifications

History & Development

The Hawker 850XP was introduced in 2006 as a direct evolution of the Hawker 800XP, itself a descendant of the British Aerospace BAe 125 series — a lineage stretching back to the early 1960s. Beechcraft, having acquired the programme through Raytheon, developed the 850XP specifically to address competitive pressure in the midsize segment by adding winglets to the proven airframe, yielding measurable gains in range and fuel burn without a fundamental redesign. The aircraft received FAA type certification and quickly earned a strong reputation among corporate flight departments and charter operators for its reliability, generous cabin volume, and predictable operating costs. Its commercial success confirmed that strategic aerodynamic refinement, rather than wholesale replacement, was the right path forward for this enduring platform.

Cabin & Comfort

The Hawker 850XP cabin stretches 6.5 metres in length and measures 1.83 metres wide, accommodating up to nine passengers in a typical club-four-plus arrangement that balances face-to-face conversation with the option for individual workspace. A stand-up cabin height of 1.75 metres allows most passengers to move through the aisle without stooping, reducing the fatigue that accompanies longer sectors. The aircraft features a well-appointed forward galley for catering service, a private enclosed lavatory at the rear, and a dedicated baggage compartment offering 50 cu ft of usable space that is accessible in flight on most configurations. Noise-attenuating insulation and the refined Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines contribute to a noticeably quiet cabin environment, while modern avionics suites on charter-ready examples typically support passenger connectivity throughout the journey.

Ideal Routes from Dubai

With a range of 2,642 nautical miles, the Hawker 850XP connects Dubai non-stop to a broad arc of key destinations across Europe, Asia, and East Africa. Dubai to Athens takes approximately four hours, Dubai to Mumbai sits comfortably within two hours, and a flight to Nairobi is achievable in roughly five and a half hours — all without a fuel stop. Leisure travellers and business delegations heading to the Maldives, Almaty, or Tbilisi will find the 850XP equally well-matched to those sectors.

Compare Similar Aircraft

Clients considering the Hawker 850XP often evaluate it alongside other capable midsize and super-midsize options to find the best fit for their mission profile. The Citation Latitude offers a flat-floor cabin in the same category, while the Challenger 350 steps up with greater range and a wider fuselage for those whose itineraries push beyond the midsize envelope. The Praetor 600 is worth considering for passengers who prioritise true transatlantic capability without moving into the heavy jet segment.
