The Hawker 4000 brought a composite fuselage and a genuinely wide super-midsize cabin to the Orlando market before production ended in 2013, and operators who have them certificated offer one of the roomiest eight-seat options in this class.
Hawker Beechcraft built the 4000 as an entirely new composite-fuselage super-midsize jet with Pratt and Whitney Canada PW308A engines, eight seats and a range around 3,300 nautical miles. Production ended in 2013. [EXTERNAL_LINK] Every Hawker 4000 we arrange flies with an operator certificated under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the Hawker 4000 Fits Orlando
The Hawker 4000’s composite construction gives it a noticeably wider cabin cross-section than most super-midsize jets, which Orlando clients traveling to multi-day meetings or Kennedy Space Center VIP events tend to notice on longer legs. Eight seats with more shoulder room is a different experience than eight seats in a conventional mid-cabin.
KORL handles the 4000 on its 6,004-foot runway without issue, and the aircraft’s range covers coast-to-coast domestic routes without a fuel stop. For OCCC convention travelers needing to move between Orlando and major West Coast business cities, that nonstop capability matters.
Because production ended, the Hawker 4000 fleet is finite and not growing. Availability is more limited than for the Challenger 300 or comparable types. When one is available through a certificated operator, pricing is often favorable relative to newer super-midsize alternatives.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
