What and
where do Hawker 800XP, 850XP & 900XP owners go when they need to upgrade?
Having
worked for Hawker Beechcraft for 28 years of which the last 16 of those years I
sold Hawkers I feel like I am uniquely qualified to assist Hawker owners transition
to their next plane.
Hawkers
were the most popular mid-size jet. They
were not the fastest, there were others that had slightly more range, they had
less baggage space than any other aircraft, and had a cabin that was bigger
than most but not the longest. Yet it
had solid lead in market share and commanded premium prices. The reasons for its success are many, however
I always felt that while it did not excel in every category, it did everything
well and offered the most comfort for the typical mid-size passenger load. Not flashy but a solid choice.
So, what
is the right plane to replace your Hawker?
Well that depends on several variables including how old is your current
aircraft, how old a plane you want to fly, your replacement time frame, mission
profile to name just a few.
There are
the same choices that were there when you purchased your Hawker (new G-150,
Sovereign+, used Lear 60XR) and there are new planes (Latitude, Legacy 450) entering
the market place. It will be even more
important to understand your mission and future missions to make the best
choice for your future operations.
As an
aviation acquisition specialist I help companies formulate a fleet/aircraft purchase
plan as well as a future exit plan. Your plane represents a large capital
investment and should be treated the same way with a thorough process.
Knowing and understanding why you selected the Hawker is important part
of the next plane acquisition.
