Only a hundred were built, in three years, and they are still at work: an American midsize on cross country sectors, Boise to Carlsbad, Chicago to Naples, DuPage to Oakland.

Every 850XP leg we have recorded starts in the United States, and the sectors are longer than most midsize types manage: mountain west to southern California, the midwest to the Florida Gulf coast, Chicago's western suburbs to the Bay Area. The winglets that distinguish the 850 from the 800XP are what bought that extra reach. If your trip crosses two or three states, it is a type worth watching.
Published figures are rare on this aircraft in our record, and notice is moderate. Ask the operator; the record block above will show a median only once enough priced legs exist.
Three variants of the same 125 series fuselage are on this board and behave differently: the 800XP spread across many operators and two continents, the 850XP American and long legged, the 900XP the newest and the most numerous. Specification: Hawker 850XP, GlobalAir. Certified 2006, production ended 2009.
The 850XP of 2006 was an 800XP with winglets, which added around 100 nm of range and improved climb, together with a new interior. Only 100 were built in three years before the 900XP with new engines replaced it in 2009. Same 125 series fuselage, same six foot wide cabin, same eight seats; on this board it flies long sectors within the United States.
