N123ED Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
Midsize jet performance from N123ED: 448 knots, 2,540 nautical miles, 41,000-foot ceiling. The Hawker 800XP's 2x Honeywell TFE731-5BR are proven powerplants with extensive operator support networks.
Mission Profile
N123ED handles the bread-and-butter missions of business aviation: city pairs under 2,000 nautical miles with passenger groups of 4-8. The Hawker 800XP's 6.0 ft-wide cabin and 9-seat capacity deliver what those missions require.
Charter Authorization
N123ED holds active Part 135 authorization for charter. The Hawker 800XP covers domestic city pairs efficiently. Reach out to discuss this aircraft or alternatives in the midsize category.
Insider Note
The Hawker 800XP's cabin width at 6.0 ft is the specification most passengers notice first. It determines whether the seating feels like a private office or a commuter flight. N123ED's 1998 build date places it in a generation where interior designers had begun widening the passenger experience.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N123ED is a 1998 Hawker held by . The 800 series spans four decades and five major variants (800, 800XP, 850XP, 900XP, 4000). This briefing covers charter economics and acquisition reality for this registration.
Fleet Position
The Hawker 800 series remains one of the most operated midsize jets in the United States, with roughly 400 on active U.S. registrations. FAA data confirms N123ED based in —, . While production ended in 2013, the installed fleet continues to fly significant charter and corporate hours. Parts support from Honeywell (engines) and Raytheon/Textron (airframe) remains available, though some Hawker-specific components carry longer lead times than Citation or Challenger parts.
Charter Availability
N123ED is Part 135 charter authorized. Hawker charter rates have compressed as the fleet ages, currently running $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour. This positions the Hawker as one of the most affordable standup-cabin jets on the charter market. The tradeoff is cabin technology: older interiors, less soundproofing than modern midsizes, and narrower cabin windows. For cost-conscious travelers who prioritize value over aesthetics, the Hawker remains a strong option.
Market Position
N123ED is a 1998 Hawker 800 from the later production years. Pre-owned values sit at $1.5M to $2.5M. Late-production 800s often have upgraded avionics (Collins Pro Line II or early Pro Line 21 retrofits) and refreshed interiors. These aircraft occupy the sweet spot between depreciation and usable life, with 10-15 years of economically viable service remaining if well maintained.
The critical question at this age is whether the TFE731 engines have been through their second hot section inspection. If recently completed, that represents $400,000 to $700,000 in value already invested. If approaching HSI, discount your acquisition offer accordingly and confirm Honeywell parts lead times before closing.
Mission Profile
Optimized for regional and mid-range domestic routes where cabin standing room matters but ultra-long range does not. Atlanta to Boston in 2 hours 15 minutes. Denver to San Diego in 2 hours. Houston to Key West in 2 hours 10 minutes. The Hawker trades speed (Mach 0.78 cruise) for cabin width and operating economy. For company shuttle routes flown 3 to 5 times per week, the hourly savings compound into significant annual reductions.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip the Hawker for transcontinental routes. The 2,500 nm range falls 500+ nm short of LAX to Teterboro nonstop with typical passenger loads. For coast-to-coast, step up to a Challenger 350, Citation Latitude, or Gulfstream G280. Also avoid the Hawker if cabin aesthetics matter to your passengers; modern midsizes from Cessna and Bombardier have significantly updated interior designs.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
