Aircraft Nextant 400XTi

The 400XTi is a remanufactured light jet: a Beechjet 400A/XP airframe rebuilt with Williams FJ44-3AP engines, Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and a new seven-to-eight-seat cabin. Range grew to 3,700 km (+50% over the original) and speed to 830 km/h. The programme ran in 2014–2019 with a factory warranty — effectively a new aircraft at a used-jet price. There is no flight attendant or hot meal service — the cabin is compact. There is no in-flight baggage access — bags are loaded on the ground. On typical legs it covers routes such as Vienna–Rome · London–Ibiza. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Guide figures for the Nextant 400XTi: average pre-owned price — $2.5M. Running costs at 300–400 h/year — about $1.58M/year, or $3,948 per flight hour. The final figure depends on year, hours flown, engine-programme status and configuration. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Nextant invented business-jet remanufacturing: the company takes a Beechjet 400A/XP airframe, fits new Williams FJ44-3AP engines, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and a new cabin — and delivers effectively a new 400XTi light jet with a warranty. Range grew to 3,700 km (+50% over the original Beechjet), fuel burn fell a third, and the price is half that of a new rival.

On the pre-owned market the 400XTi is offered at $2.2–3M — the price of a good turboprop at a jet speed of 830 km/h. Direct costs are about $1,800–2,000 an hour, with the FJ44 engines covered by the TAP Blue programme. By comparison, a new light jet with the same range costs $9–12M. It is one of the best price/speed offers in the light class. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

The 400XTi's basis is the Beechjet/Hawker 400, an airframe rated for the T-1 Jayhawk military programme (the US Air Force flew millions of hours on it). Engines and avionics are production Williams and Collins components with global support. The remanufacturing itself is FAA-certified. Its weak point is a small fleet (~70 aircraft), so specific airframe parts take longer to find than for a Citation.

Nextant Aerospace is an American company from Cleveland, Ohio, founded in 2007. A pioneer of business-jet remanufacturing: on the Beechjet/Hawker 400 airframe it creates effectively a new 400XTi. About 80 aircraft have been built under this programme. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

The light jet is the most in-demand class of business aviation for 2–4-hour legs: Geneva–Dubai, London–Athens, Vienna–London. A range of 3,700–4,000 km covers 80% of real business routes across Europe, the Middle East and the CIS. The class keeps access to short strips from 1,200 m and a reasonable hourly price — the sweet spot between VLJ and midsize.

The typical layout is 6–8 seats, the maximum up to 10 (Phenom 300E). A comfortable long-leg load is 4–6 people. Holds take 0.9–1.9 m³: 6–8 suitcases plus hand luggage, and the CJ4 and Phenom 300 fit skis and golf bags. A full cabin and full tanks are not available at once — with eight passengers, range falls by about a quarter.

From a VLJ it is set apart by an extra 1,000–1,500 km of range, a full lavatory and a hold twice as large; from a midsize by price: an hour is $1,500–2,500 cheaper, but the cabin is lower (no standing) and there is no separate crew area. The choice: 2–4 hours for four — light; 5+ hours, 8+ people or a stand-up cabin needed — midsize.

Ten models to choose from: the best-selling Embraer Phenom 300E (up to 10 seats, 3,720 km), the Cessna CJ2+/CJ3/CJ4 family with best-in-class economics, the fast Learjet 40XR/45XR/70/75 cruising up to 860 km/h, the remanufactured Nextant 400XTi — jet speed at a turboprop price — and the Beechcraft Premier IA with a composite fuselage and the widest cabin in class.

Start from two numbers: the length of your typical route and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 people — a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km — a midsize jet; nonstop intercontinental — a long-range jet. Then adjust for short runways, baggage volume and sleeping berths. We'll match a model to your profile and calculate the ownership economics. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

A new aircraft means a factory warranty and a 1–3-year queue, but the price is at its peak. A pre-owned aircraft means immediate delivery and a price 30–60% lower, while engine time and history matter. For most buyers a fresh 3–7-year-old aircraft is optimal: the main depreciation has happened and plenty of life remains. We cost both options.
