The Hawker 4000 comes up in Palm Beach quotes when a client wants the widest cabin in the super midsize class and is willing to work around a small fleet. It seats 8 to 9, flies 3,190 nautical miles and cruises at 464 knots.
Hawker Beechcraft built the 4000 with a carbon composite fuselage, Pratt and Whitney Canada PW308A engines and a Honeywell Primus Epic flight deck. Certification took until 2008 and production ended in 2013 after a short run. Range is 3,190 nautical miles with 8 to 9 seats. Every Hawker 4000 we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Hawker 4000 Fits Palm Beach
Flat floor and full standing height for a working group. Board members flying KDJT to Chicago or Dallas for a day of meetings get a cabin they can move around in, which a Citation XLS does not offer on the same leg.
Island range with seats filled. Nassau (MYNN), Georgetown Exuma (MYEF), Providenciales (MBPV) and Grand Cayman (MWCR) are all inside the aircraft’s range from Palm Beach County with 9 aboard.
Support for the type thinned out after Hawker Beechcraft wound down, and operator quality varies more than usual. We confirm the certificate, review the operator’s safety and incident history, and check crew currency on the 4000, and we will point you to a G280 or a Challenger if the specific aircraft does not stand up.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.

$6,000 to $8,000 per hour. Florida availability is thin, so the quote usually turns on whether a 4000 is already positioned somewhere in the Southeast.
