Hawker Beechcraft Services (HBS) today announced the aftermarket Hawker 800XPR package, an industry leading upgrade for the Hawker 800XP. This upgrade package, available exclusively through factory-owned HBS facilities, offers significant performance and capability improvements by replacing the aircraft's original engines with new technology TFE731-50R powerplants and improving aerodynamics with company-designed winglets. Special introductory pricing is being offered until the end of the year, with certification expected in 2010.

"Customer input clearly told us that many Hawker 800XP owners are interested in enhancing the value of their current aircraft with improved range, better hot/high performance and lower operating cost," said Christi Tannahill, HBC vice president, Global Customer Support. "This factory upgrade underscores our commitment to supporting our customers with products that improve performance, lower operating costs and increase the resale value of the aircraft we design and build."
