Hawker 800XP
The third fan-engined Hawker 125 and the best-selling version, between the Hawker 800 and the 800XPi.
The 800XP gives you one of the roomiest cabins and longest ranges available for about $2 million, backed by a huge support network. It is thirsty and slow to climb, and engine program status and corrosion history decide whether an example is a bargain.
Buy it if
You want a true eight-seat cabin with a private washroom, regularly fly 1,000–2,000 nm trips with four to six people, and value a deep market with plenty of shops that know the airplane.
Skip it if
You often use short or high-altitude runways, want a quick climb above weather, need luggage room for eight, or cannot absorb a six-figure surprise from engines, corrosion or the 48-month inspection.
Biggest compromise
You trade efficiency for space. The 800XP burns about 290 gallons an hour and needs roughly 5,000 ft of runway at sea level, far more on hot days at altitude.

Lineage
What came before and after
1995–2005
Hawker 800XP
Stronger engines, standard thrust reversers, higher weights
What changed from the Hawker 800 (BAe 125-800)
- TFE731-5BR engines add about 360 lb of thrust per side over the Hawker 800.
- Maximum takeoff weight rose from 27,400 to 28,000 lb; zero-fuel weight to 18,450 lb.
- Thrust reversers became standard, shortening landings and saving brakes.
- Vortilons replaced wing fences and aileron gearing came from the Hawker 1000.
- Mach trim, upgraded air conditioning and a larger anti-ice fluid tank became standard.
- From 2002 the Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit replaced the Honeywell SPZ-8000.

- Hawker 900XP instead: Same cabin with stronger engines, winglets and Pro Line 21, giving better hot-day performance and more range for a higher price.
- Cessna Citation XLS instead: Smaller cabin and shorter range, but it uses much shorter runways and costs less per hour to run.
- Learjet 60 instead: Faster and quicker to climb, but a shorter cabin and a smaller washroom.

What to know before you buy
Engines & inspections
2 × Honeywell TFE731-5BR · 4,750 lbf each
Engine hours until overhaul
- A inspection · 400 hr
- Engine mid-life inspection · 2,100 hr
- D inspection · 3,200 hr
- Engine core zone inspection · 4,200 hr
- E annual inspection every 12 months
- 48-month G inspection every 48 months
- 96-month X-ray structural inspection every 96 months
- Landing gear overhaul every 144 months
Most buyers want both engines on an hourly program; an off-program engine near its core inspection can cost $550,000–800,000 to overhaul.
Known issues
Engine program status
Each engine's core zone inspection costs $550,000–800,000 without a program; two can rival the value of the aircraft.
Wing leading-edge corrosion
Corrosion under the anti-ice panels is the classic 48-month finding; each leading-edge section overhaul costs $12,000–55,000.
Stall test after wing work
Leading-edge work requires a stall test flight; U.S. investigators issued urgent recommendations in January 2026 after fatal test flights.

Textron Aviation holds the type certificate and supports the Hawker with parts and service centers, and many independent shops know the type well. Honeywell's TFE731 engines are supported worldwide.
Review
The full review
Strengths
- Roomy cabin, 21 ft 4 in long and 6 ft wide, with a forward galley and a full-width private washroom.
- About 2,500 nm with four passengers, enough for most eastbound coast-to-coast trips without a fuel stop.
- A fleet of about 363 aircraft and 51 sales in 2025 make it easy to buy, sell and service.
Limitations
- Thirsty: about 290 gallons an hour, so fuel alone costs roughly $727,000 a year at 300 hours.
- Needs about 5,000 ft of runway at sea level and much more at hot, high airports like Aspen.
- Only 48 cu ft of baggage space, all inside the cabin, which is tight for eight people.
The Hawker 800XP is the 1995–2005 version of the long-running Hawker 125 family, the British-designed business jet that Raytheon took over in 1993. It kept the Hawker 800's airframe but added stronger Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines, made thrust reversers standard and raised the maximum takeoff weight to 28,000 lb. It became the best-selling Hawker, with about 426 delivered before the 800XPi and the winglet-equipped 850XP replaced it. Most aircraft built before 2002 have a Honeywell SPZ-8000 cockpit; later ones have Collins Pro Line 21 displays.
Pilot's take
The 800XP is a stable, honest airplane with moderate control forces and good harmony, and its rudder bias system makes engine-out handling easy for a jet this size. What it lacks is sparkle: climbs to the high 30s take about 20 minutes, and on a hot day at a mountain airport the takeoff numbers grow quickly. Standard thrust reversers help on wet runways. We would plan on long runways, respect the weight-and-altitude charts, and choose the cockpit generation carefully, because a Pro Line 21 aircraft is much easier to keep current.
Who this is for
Owners and charter operators who want a genuine eight-seat cabin with a private washroom for about $2 million, fly mostly from longer runways, and will pay for engine programs and careful maintenance rather than chase the lowest price.
