Air Charter Advisors arrange private jet charter services on the Premier 1, a light business jet aircraft manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft designed to compete with the Cessna CitationJet series.
Originally designed by Raytheon in 1994 as their first business jet, the Premier (Model 390) was created to offer a high-performing business jet with low acquisition and operating costs. Production was later taken over by Beechcraft Hawker, and in 2001, it became the first composite fuselage business jet to gain FAA certification.
In 2006, the Premier 1A was certified as the world’s largest single-pilot business jet featuring improved avionics and brakes, and a redesigned cabin over the original.

The Premier I was designed by Raytheon/Hawker to be a unique business jet, utilizing an advanced lightweight fuselage (graphite/epoxy laminate and honeycomb composite), rather than an aluminum airframe.
This weight reduction provides exceptional fuel efficiency, and the swept wings, originally designed by Raytheon, minimizes drag while increasing speed and high-altitude performance.
The composite design also creates a huge cabin (315 cubic feet) that can accommodate up to 6 passengers with 4 fully-adjustable club seats and two fixed seats in the rear of the cabin. A combined total of 77 cubic feet of storage is available between the interior and exterior, and twin Williams FJ44-2A engines make sure this light jet is as fast as it is comfortable.
The Premier IA debuted in 2008 and is essentially the same aircraft as the original, with upgrades to the avionics systems, brakes, and cabin.
A total of 292 were built during its 12-year production run with 163 Premier IA models built during its 5 years on the market. The price to acquire a pre-owned model ranges from $1 million to $2.4 million.
