Hawker 800XPi
Midsize Hawker platform updated with modernized avionics and improved runway flexibility for regional and mid-range missions.
The Hawker 800XPi is a later evolution of the Hawker 800-series, pairing the familiar midsize cabin and operating economics of the line with an upgraded cockpit suite aimed at reducing pilot workload and improving situational awareness. In typical service it is used for 6–8 passenger missions where consistent access to shorter or performance-limited airports matters as much as cruise efficiency.
Currently for saleMission Alignment
The 800XPi tends to fit schedules built around 1.5–3.5 hour legs, with flexibility to serve secondary airports. Payload and range planning becomes more important on longer sectors, especially with full passenger loads, alternate requirements, and winter winds.

Not Ideal For
Cabin Experience
Cabin experience is characteristic of the Hawker 800 family: a practical midsize cross-section with a club seating core and a separate aft lavatory area. The environment supports productive in-flight work for a small group, with enough separation from the cockpit to reduce noise and interruption compared with light jets, but it is not a stand-up cabin.
Configuration Notes
Technology & Systems
The 800XPi’s primary differentiator versus earlier 800 variants is cockpit modernization. The intent is to keep the proven airframe/engine combination while bringing avionics capability closer to contemporary IFR expectations—enhancing flight guidance integration, navigation options, and display ergonomics.
Buyer Checks
Operating Profile
In day-to-day operation the 800XPi is typically run as a two-pilot IFR jet with straightforward ground handling and a stable cruise profile. It can be an efficient step-up from light jets for operators needing more cabin and better runway performance margins, while still remaining within the midsize category for hangar footprint and operational complexity.
Key Triggers
Maintenance & Ownership
Supportability is driven by the maturity of the Hawker 800 airframe and the specific maintenance status of each serial number. Condition-based differences (engine status, corrosion environment history, and avionics upgrade pedigree) matter more than the model name alone. A thorough records review and prebuy inspection scoped to the aircraft’s operating history is critical.
