The history of the Hawker 800XP

The history of this business jet (or colloquially termed, "biz jet") began in the 80s, when the board of British Aerospace decided to create a midsize jet able to offer perfect performance and make any business trip enjoyable, even for short journeys.

This is why every effort was spared to ensure a jet capable of reflecting these needs was created. Though certainly not without difficulties, and only by the 90s, the BAE 125-800 series was built.

This series however, had several deficiencies. Failing to fully reflect the requests the British Aerospace Board itself wanted to incorporate into this bizjet.

In 2000, BAO decided to collaborate with Hawker Beechcraft, which was put in charge of producing the jets, precisely, of assembling the different parts that were to compose the medium-sized aircraft.

The 750 and 900XP series, which came about at the beginning of the 2000s, were realized by Hawker Beechcraft who, unfortunately, had to close down due to the crisis that struck England.

It was not entirely closed however, and Beechcraft, the only surviving portion, around 2013 managed to produce the Hawker 800XP, which to this day remains a great choice for business trips.

A particular path allowed the realization of this aircraft, available in our fleet, Fast Private Jet.

After this brief overview of the history, it will serve us to focus on the characteristics of this midsized jet.
