The Hawker 700, produced from 1976, is the TFE731-powered evolution of the classic BAe 125 series and the aircraft that established the Hawker midsize cabin. Its stand-up, wide cabin and transcontinental reach made it a corporate favourite.
Step aboard and the Hawker 700 answers the question every charter client really asks, which is whether the cabin works: up to 8 guests, 48 cubic feet of luggage and seating you can reconfigure for a board meeting, a family or a couple who want the aircraft to themselves. The interior measuring 5 ft 9 in wide by 21 ft 4 in long stays quiet at altitude because the pressurisation holds a low cabin altitude, so this midsize jet leaves you fresher than a comparable airline leg. That is the difference private jet charter is really bought for.
Few things matter more on charter than pace, and the Hawker 700 delivers, holding about 447 knots or Mach 0.78 so meetings, connections and dinners all stay comfortably in reach. That speed comes from a wing and engines tuned for high, efficient cruise rather than brute thrust. On the clock, where it counts, the type is hard to beat in its bracket.
Range is a quiet strength of the Hawker 700: close to 1800 nautical miles links city pairs such as London to Athens without touching down, the kind of reach that reshapes a schedule. It also opens up direct routings the airlines simply do not fly. That freedom, more than any single feature, is why clients return to the aircraft for the longer trips.
Reliability is why we place clients on the Hawker 700: powered by 2x Honeywell TFE731-3 (3,700 lbf each), it is a mature, well-supported design, and the smoothest charter is always the one that leaves on schedule. Redundant systems and a deep global spares network keep aircraft-on-ground surprises rare. When a trip has to happen, the type is the sort of aircraft you bet on.
The part enthusiasts single out: The Hawker 700 established the flat-floor midsize cabin that made the line famous, its bloodline reaching back to the de Havilland DH.125 of 1962. Knowing the story tends to make the flight more enjoyable.
The Hawker 700 is happy on short and secondary runways, so a charter routes into the airfield nearest the meeting, the villa or the resort rather than the nearest airline gateway. That flexibility matters most where mountains, islands or short strips rule out bigger jets. Access, quietly, is one of the strongest reasons clients pick the type.
The Hawker 700, weighed fairly, including the caveats:
The Hawker 700 is honest about distance: near 1800 nautical miles it is superb across its home region, but the longest intercontinental legs call for a bigger tank, and on those we will match you to a larger jet rather than sell you a fuel stop.
No single aircraft wins on every count, and the Hawker 700 trades a little of one virtue for a lot of another; the trick is matching that trade to your actual route and party, which is exactly what we do.
As alternatives to the Hawker 700, it is worth weighing the Hawker 750 and the Hawker 800XP, both able aircraft in the same bracket. Broadly the Hawker 750 carries the longer legs, while the Hawker 700 brings the wider cabin, so the right pick comes down to your exact route, party and budget, which our advisors are glad to lay out side by side.
The bottom line is that the Hawker 700 is a superb choice for transcontinental and medium-haul charter, pairing a comfortable cabin with dependable performance for travellers who value their time.
