The Hawker 850XP is the most common midsize jet with a Hawker badge on the Los Angeles market, and it is the aircraft the whole line is judged by. Eight seats, a flat-floor cabin, winglets and 2,525 nautical miles of range.
The 800 series ran from the British Aerospace 125 through the Hawker 800, 800XP and finally the winglet-equipped 850XP under Hawker Beechcraft. Eight seats, 430 knots and 2,525 nautical miles, with Honeywell TFE731 engines and a cabin that set the midsize standard for two decades. Every Hawker 850XP we arrange flies with an operator certificated under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Hawker 850XP Fits Los Angeles
The winglets on the 850XP are worth asking for specifically. They improve climb and cruise efficiency, which on a fully loaded Los Angeles departure heading east over high terrain is exactly where a midsize jet is working hardest.
At 2,525 nautical miles this reaches the East Coast from Los Angeles with a light payload and reaches Chicago, Dallas and the Gulf comfortably with a full one. Los Angeles to Hawaii is a request we get regularly on this size of aircraft, and whether it works nonstop depends on payload, winds and the operator’s overwater equipment, so we put that to the operator rather than answering it from a table.
Long Beach is a useful field for this size of jet when the client is south of downtown. It has a 10,000-foot runway and runs a noise-budget slot system, so movements are managed rather than open, and the operator confirms availability for the date.

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.
