The price depends on the route, the dates, the season and where the aircraft has to come from. A full charter costs more than an empty leg, because you pay for the flight back too.

Dimensions, weights and performance are Hawker Beechcraft figures for the 400XP, taken from an archived copy of the maker's 2010 page. The maker's sales page quotes a high speed cruise of 450 knots, while its table lists 465 knots. Fuel burn is a typical figure reported by Business & Commercial Aviation. The 400XP is out of production.
The Hawker 400XP is a small twin jet that seats up to nine passengers. It began as the Japanese Mitsubishi Diamond and was later built in Wichita, Kansas, as the Beechjet and then the Hawker. New aircraft stopped coming in 2009, but many are still used for charter and private flying.
The Hawker 400XP began as the Mitsubishi MU-300 Diamond, which first flew on 29 August 1978. It was certified in the United States on 6 November 1981. In 1985 Mitsubishi sold the design to Beechcraft, which renamed it the Beechjet 400 and certified it in May 1986.
Beechcraft added new avionics and a new interior in 1989 and called the result the 400A. The name changed to Hawker 400 in 1993, after Raytheon bought the Hawker business. The 400XP arrived in 2003 with thrust reversers, a nine passenger seating option and a small gain in weight. A planned update, the 450XP, was cancelled in 2009, and production of new aircraft ended soon after.
Private owners, companies, air taxi firms and charter operators fly the 400XP. The U.S. Air Force flew 178 military versions as the T-1 Jayhawk. Owners who want newer engines can choose upgrades such as the Hawker 400XPR or the Nextant 400XT, which both fit Williams FJ44 engines.

Buyers often compare the 400XP with the Cessna Citation CJ3, which is slower. Hawker said the 400XP was 35 knots faster. The Embraer Phenom 300 has a longer cabin but cost more on the used market (as reported in 2014).
