Hawker 800XP/850XP/900XP/750: how 396 jets are really flown
The busiest 5% made more than 26 flights a month and the quietest 5% fewer than 4: over eight times as many, on the same type.
The harder end, one aircraft in twenty, is at 95% or more; the easier end near none.
The hardest-worked 5% log ≈445 h a year or more; the easiest-used, ≈56 h or less. The middle aircraft sits at ≈157 h.
The harder end, one aircraft in twenty, is at 3,624 ft or more; the easier end at 661 ft or less.
Fatigue
What each landing and pressurization cycle costs the structure: landings per hour and short hops.
The middle 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 flies 1.4 hours for every landing. One in twenty lands every 1.0 hours or sooner, the most cycles for its time.

US-registered aircraft only: the FAA registry gives serial number and year of manufacture for 213 of the 248 aircraft behind the hours figures. Built = year of manufacture. Avionics upgrades are fitted by modification and the registry doesn’t show them, so check an aircraft’s records.
800XP/850XP/900XP/750: the variants on paper
One page covers all four variants: the tracking data doesn’t tell them apart.
Certified figures come from the type certificate data sheet. We don’t have a manufacturer source for the Hawker 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 yet, so its manufacturer rows show a dash.

Charter status is our own list, built from FAA records and public listings of charter aircraft; aircraft flown by a fractional program (NetJets, Flexjet and the like) are counted as fractional, not charter.

800XP/850XP/900XP/750 questions
How many hours a year does a 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 fly?
The median North American 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 flies about 157 estimated hours a year; the middle half sits between 95 and 262. About 1 in 20 flies more than 445.
How often does a 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 fly?
10 flights a month on 6 flying days at the median. About 1 in 20 makes more than 26 flights a month.
How long is a typical 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 flight?
The median leg is 401 nm. About 1 in 20 aircraft average more than 796 nm a leg.
Is a high-hours 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 a bad buy?
Not by itself. High hours on long legs are gentler on the structure than the same hours on short hops. Look at hours per landing and short-hop share alongside hours.
Can a 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 fly across the Atlantic?
Yes. In our tracking window, 3 of the 396 North American aircraft flew 5 nonstop crossings between the Americas and Europe or Africa. The busiest were Halifax Stanfield–Shannon (1 flights), Halifax Stanfield–Santa Maria (1 flights), Halifax Stanfield–Ponta Delgada-Joao Paulo II (1 flights).
How many gallons of fuel does a 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 hold?
Between 1,260 and 1,490 US gallons depending on the variant. The type certificate gives pounds; we convert at 6.7 lb per gallon of Jet A, so the figures are approximate.
Where are most 800XP/850XP/900XP/750 aircraft based?
In North America, Fort Lauderdale is home to the most, followed by Nashville and Southern Wisconsin. A base is the field an aircraft touches on most of its flying days, month after month.

Flight measures, bases, routes and rankings use ADS-B tracking 1 Aug 2025 – 31 Jul 2026; corrosion and engines-and-brakes exposure use the same twelve months, or an aircraft’s record since 1 Jan 2025 when it had too few nights or departures in them. Estimated hours from time in the air. Tracking misses some flights, so counts and hours are minimums. ADS-B coverage grew over the window, so we don’t compare one year with the last. Tracking can’t tell one variant from another; the variant split, the busiest table’s variants and the age table use the FAA registry, so they cover US-registered aircraft only. We assume the longest runway at each field, so short-runway figures are conservative. Short-runway figures use the manufacturer’s published takeoff distance where our sources hold one for every variant (the longest, where tracking can’t tell variants apart), and a reference figure otherwise. Corrosion measures cover the aircraft we can place on enough nights, some over the longer window when the twelve months had too few. Charter status is our own list, built from FAA records and public listings of charter aircraft; aircraft flown by a fractional program (NetJets, Flexjet and the like) are counted as fractional, not charter.
