Charter a Hawker 750

The Hawker 750 is the baggage-optimised variant of the Hawker 800 family, announced at the NBAA convention in October 2006, first flown on 23 August 2007 and certified by the FAA on 19 February 2008. Hawker Beechcraft produced 48 aircraft between 2008 and 2012. The defining engineering decision of the Hawker 750 is the replacement of the 220-gallon ventral fuselage fuel tank - standard on the Hawker 800XP and 900XP - with a heated 32 ft³ external baggage compartment. This swap reduces range from the Hawker 900XP's 2,929 nm to 2,100 nm (3,889 km) NBAA IFR with four passengers, but provides a substantially larger baggage capacity and improves short-field performance by reducing the aircraft's maximum weight. Business Jet Traveler noted the Hawker 750 "can fly farther than any comparable airplane near its price point."

The Hawker 750 uses the same Honeywell TFE731-5BR turbofan engines at 4,660 lbf as the Hawker 800XP, providing identical speed and takeoff performance at lower total weight. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite with four 8x10-inch AMLCD displays, single FMS-6000 flight management, IFIS electronic charts and NEXRAD weather radar equips the flight deck. The Rockwell Collins Airshow 21 cabin management system provides LCD screens at every passenger seat with control of temperature, lighting and entertainment. Other improvements over earlier Hawker 800 series include standard thrust reversers, an in-flight operable APU, increased brake energy capacity and a three-turbine-wheel air-cycle machine for improved cabin cooling. Charter prices start from approximately £2,000 per flight hour. For the full fleet see our private jet price guide or browse our complete fleet.

Why charter the Hawker 750?

• Ventral tank replaced by 32 ft³ heated baggage compartment - substantially more luggage than Hawker 800XP. The Hawker 750's primary engineering distinction is trading the Hawker 800XP's 220-gallon ventral fuel tank for a heated 32 ft³ external baggage compartment. Air Charter Service noted this gives the Hawker 750 a "most configurations have a comprehensive galley... as well as a lavatory in the rear... and an accessible baggage compartment." For charter clients with extensive luggage on short to medium European sectors where the full Hawker 900XP range is unnecessary, the Hawker 750's baggage capacity is the practical selection argument. Business Jet Traveler described it as "more than adequate for most users" at $2.7 million less than the Hawker 900XP;
• Same TFE731-5BR engines as Hawker 800XP - identical speed and takeoff at lower weight. The Hawker 750 uses the same Honeywell TFE731-5BR turbofan engines at 4,660 lbf each as the longer-range Hawker 800XP. Without the 220-gallon ventral tank's fuel weight, the Hawker 750 operates at lower maximum weight - improving takeoff and landing performance. Airport Technology noted the Hawker 750 can "easily negotiate 5,000-foot runways" and operate from "gravel and grass airstrips" - a short-field capability that exceeds the heavier 800XP and 900XP variants. Optional winglets extend range by 100 nm while improving low-speed handling;
• Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 with IFIS electronic charts and NEXRAD - first full glass cockpit in the 750 price bracket. The Hawker 750 avionics suite provides four 8x10-inch Active Matrix LCD displays (AMLCD), Collins FMS-6000 flight management, EGPWS, TCAS, Engine Indicating System, Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS) with electronic charts and enhanced map overlays, 8.33 kHz communications and NEXRAD turbulence-detection weather radar. Business Jet Traveler called the Pro Line 21 "adequate for most applications." The Airshow 21 cabin management system provides user-friendly LCD screens at every passenger seat for temperature, lighting and entertainment control;
• Standard thrust reversers and in-flight APU - improvements over Hawker 700 and earlier 800 series. The Hawker 750 introduces thrust reversers as standard equipment - not standard on the Hawker 700 and optional on some earlier 800 series configurations. Combined with increased brake energy capacity and the lower operating weight from the deleted ventral tank, the Hawker 750's field performance is the best in the Hawker 800 family. The in-flight operable APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) maintains cabin services without running the main engines during boarding, ground stops and extended taxi - a comfort and noise advantage at noise-sensitive FBOs;
• Cabin volume 551 ft³ - largest in class at the price point; 604 ft³ total with galley. Business Jet Traveler confirmed the Hawker 750 cabin volume of 604 ft³ exceeds both the Citation XLS (461 ft³) and Learjet 60XR (453 ft³) at a comparable price point of $13.3 million new. Five single executive seats that slide, swivel and recline plus a three-seat side-facing divan provide a genuine working environment for eight passengers. The galley includes microwave, coffee maker and ice drawer. Airshow 21 LCD at every seat. Business Jet Traveler noted a 6-footer "can actually stand almost upright in its trenched centre aisle" - the 1.75 m stand-up height confirmed in flight;
• Improved cabin cooling via three-turbine-wheel air-cycle machine - specific upgrade over Hawker 800XP. Airport Technology specifically noted the three-turbine-wheel air-cycle machine on the Hawker 750 provides "much-improved cabin cooling" over earlier Hawker 800 series aircraft. Combined with the increased de-icing fluid tank capacity, the Hawker 750 addresses two of the most common operational criticisms of earlier Hawker 800 variants - cabin temperature management and icing system limitations. The result is a more comfortable cabin environment on hot-weather and cold-weather operations.

Ideal routes for the Hawker 750

Best matched to UK regional and European missions where large baggage capacity, short-field access and 2,100 nm range serve groups of 5 to 8 at midsize rates:

• Short European business day trips (1 to 2 hours) where maximum luggage matters. Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Geneva and Nice are all within 1 to 2 hours. For groups where the full luggage allocation matters - ski trips, sporting events, extended business travel - the Hawker 750's 32 ft³ heated external baggage hold plus 1.4 m³ internal baggage provides meaningfully more capacity than the Hawker 800XP or 900XP without the weight or cost penalty of carrying the ventral tank. Business Jet Traveler specifically highlighted the value versus Citation XLS and Learjet 60 at comparable price points: more cabin, more baggage;
• Regional airports and grass strips (5,000 ft runway or less) - Hawker 750's short-field advantage. The Hawker 750's lower operating weight from the deleted ventral tank enables access to shorter runways than the 800XP. Air Charter Service confirmed it can land on "gravel and grass airstrips." For charter clients departing from or arriving at regional UK airfields, Alpine airports, Scottish Highlands or short coastal strips, the Hawker 750 opens destinations unavailable to the heavier 900XP and 800XP while retaining the same Pro Line 21 avionics and TFE731-5BR engines;
• Medium European sectors to Iberia, North Africa and Eastern Europe (2 to 3.5 hours). Madrid, Lisbon, Marrakech, Istanbul and Warsaw are all within the Hawker 750's 2,100 nm envelope. Business Jet Traveler noted the Hawker 750 "can travel non-stop from the northeast U.S. to Venezuela or from India to Singapore" - its European equivalent covers all capitals non-stop from UK airports. Optional winglets extend range by a further 100 nm for marginal destinations;
• Groups of 6 to 8 where the divan configuration matters for overnight travel. The standard Hawker 750 layout of five single seats plus a three-seat side-facing divan provides three sleeping positions on overnight European sectors. Business Jet Traveler described the Hawker 750 as "more than adequate" for this mission while noting it is "realistically... a comfortable airplane for four passengers on a longer trip." For 5 to 7 passengers on day trips, all seats are in productive working configuration;
• Ski and leisure travel where heated external baggage is operationally decisive. The Hawker 750's 32 ft³ heated external baggage compartment is specifically valuable for ski travel where equipment volume and the need for heated storage are both requirements. Ski bags, golf bags and sporting equipment that would otherwise compromise cabin space or require separate freight arrangements fit in the dedicated external compartment without touching cabin baggage.

Cabin and in-flight experience

The Hawker 750 cabin measures 6.5 m long, 1.83 m wide and 1.75 m high - 551 ft³ - with five single executive seats that slide, swivel and recline, plus a three-seat side-facing divan for eight passengers standard. A ninth seat is available via the enclosed aft lavatory's belted position. Business Jet Traveler confirmed a six-footer "can actually stand almost upright in its trenched centre aisle." The main cabin door stands 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m) high. Cabin altitude at cruise is approximately 7,500 ft.

The galley includes microwave, coffee maker, ice drawer and storage cupboards. The Airshow 21 cabin management system provides LCD screens at every passenger seat with individual control of temperature, lighting and entertainment. The three-turbine-wheel air-cycle machine delivers improved cabin cooling over earlier Hawker 800 variants. The heated 32 ft³ external baggage compartment is separate from the 1.4 m³ internal hold. Pro Line 21 avionics with four AMLCD displays and NEXRAD weather radar are in the flight deck. Thrust reversers are standard.

Technical specifications

Hawker 750 vs similar aircraft

• Hawker 750 vs Hawker 900XP. The Hawker 900XP has uprated TFE731-50BR engines, 2,929 nm range (vs 2,100 nm) and the 220-gallon ventral fuel tank retained. Charter rates for the Hawker 900XP run approximately 15 to 25% higher. The Hawker 750 counters with 32 ft³ more heated external baggage (vs the ventral tank space used for fuel on the 900XP), lower operating weight enabling 5,000 ft runway access (vs 900XP's higher field requirements), and a $2.7 million lower new-aircraft price. For missions within 2,100 nm where maximum baggage and short-field access matter more than maximum range, the Hawker 750 is the appropriate choice;
• Hawker 750 vs Cessna Citation XLS+. Business Jet Traveler compared these directly: the Hawker 750 at $13.3 million vs Citation XLS at $12 million. The Hawker 750 counters with a cabin volume of 551 ft³ vs Citation XLS's 461 ft³ - 19% more - and stand-up height throughout. Charter rates for the Citation XLS+ run broadly comparable or slightly lower. The Hawker 750 provides the same TFE731 engine family, more cabin space and the Airshow 21 cabin management system at comparable rates;
• Hawker 750 vs Learjet 60XR. Business Jet Traveler also compared these directly: Learjet 60XR at $13 million was "faster" than the Hawker 750 but the Hawker had "551 ft³ vs Lear's 453 ft³" - 21% more cabin volume. The Hawker 750 also has better headroom ("a six-footer can actually stand almost upright in its trenched centre aisle" vs the Learjet's lower cabin). Charter rates are broadly comparable. For groups of 6 to 8 where cabin space is the priority, the Hawker 750 provides more interior volume at comparable rates.

Frequently asked questions - Hawker 750 charter

How much does it cost to charter a Hawker 750?
Charter rates run from approximately £2,000 to £2,600 per flight hour. London to Geneva costs from £3,600 for 7 passengers. London to Edinburgh costs from £2,400. London to Paris costs from £2,500. All quotes from Private Jets UK are fully itemised with no hidden charges.

What is the key difference between the Hawker 750 and Hawker 900XP?
The Hawker 750 replaces the 220-gallon ventral fuselage fuel tank of the Hawker 900XP with a heated 32 ft³ external baggage compartment. This reduces range from the 900XP's 2,929 nm to 2,100 nm NBAA IFR, but provides substantially more baggage capacity, reduces maximum operating weight (enabling shorter runway access) and reduces acquisition cost by approximately $2.7 million. The Hawker 750 uses the same TFE731-5BR engines as the Hawker 800XP rather than the 900XP's uprated TFE731-50BR.

Can the Hawker 750 operate from grass and gravel strips?
Yes - Air Charter Service confirmed the Hawker 750 can land on gravel and grass airstrips, and can "easily negotiate 5,000-foot runways." The lower maximum operating weight from the deleted ventral tank improves field performance versus the heavier Hawker 800XP and 900XP. This capability opens UK regional airfields, Alpine airports and shorter European strips unavailable to the heavier Hawker variants.

How many passengers can fly on a Hawker 750?
Eight in standard configuration: five single seats that slide, swivel and recline, plus a three-seat side-facing divan. A ninth seat is available via the enclosed aft lavatory. Business Jet Traveler described it as "realistically... a comfortable airplane for four passengers on a longer trip" and up to eight on shorter European sectors.

What avionics does the Hawker 750 have?
The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite with four 8x10-inch Active Matrix LCD displays, FMS-6000 flight management, EGPWS, TCAS, IFIS with electronic charts and NEXRAD turbulence-detection weather radar. The Airshow 21 cabin management system provides LCD screens at every passenger seat for independent control of temperature, lighting and entertainment.
