It’s coming up on a decade since the last of the Hawker 800 series rolled off the production line in Wichita, Kansas. The aircraft was produced under three different owners – British Aerospace (1983 to 1994), Raytheon (1993 to 2007), and Hawker Beechcraft (2007 to 2013).
While Textron bought the aircraft manufacturer out of bankruptcy in 2014, the popular type was never revived.
Still, the Hawker 800 series (including the 750 and 900) remain in demand as large midsize private jets. The Hawker 1000, with a maximum takeoff weight of 31,000, would be an entry-level in the super-midsize category. There are over 1,000 of the variety still flying as of November 2020, according to Amstat. They pop-up frequent in cabin category jet card programs and are often requested for on-demand charter.
Depending on type and payload, the range varies from 2,050 to 3,150 nautical miles.
Controller lists 34 Hawker 800 types for sale, starting at $1.395 million. A 1992 Hawker 1000 is listed for $750,000.

One benefit of flying privately is the ability to access alternate airports during bad weather
Winter weather in the mountains can mean airport closings and delays. Jet card and on-demand charter broker Magellan Jets says one benefit of flying privately to your ski vacation means while commercial fliers see their trips canceled, there’s always a backup plan with private jets. It says, “The Magellan Jets team is always prepared to give our clients up to the minute notifications when and if your flight’s plans must change due to weather at any of these airports.” Recently it outlined U.S. destinations most likely to be impacted by extreme weather and best alternate airports.

As it celebrates its 10th anniversary Magellan Jets said it had already seen an increase in bookings for 2018 throughout the Northeast. Short hops between popular locations like Nantucket, New York City, Boston, and The Hamptons have become a mainstay of private fliers in recent years, the jet card seller said. The answer – a helicopter card!
