JoinJet of Denmark takes delivery of world's first Hawker 800 XPr

November 17, 2011:

JoinJet of Denmark, has taken delivery of the worlds first Hawker 800 XPr which positions the charter operator as the worlds greenest operator of Hawker 800's.

The aircraft took it's maiden flight as a Hawker 800 XPr on the 14th of November 2011 from Chester to Billund.

"We are extremely please to be the first in the world to take delivery of the Hawker 800XPr, It is a privilege and has been an amazing experience working with Hawker Beechcraft." said Kristoffer Sundberg, General Manager of JoinJet. "We are pleased that we now are able to offer our clients the greenest Hawker 800 in the world with the lowest CO2 footprint." He added, emphasizing their motto "Green and growing".

"I, personally captained the flight to Billund, and the enhanced performance was noticeable from when we released the brakes at Chester, to the straight climb to FL390, to the low fuel flow en-route, to the well-balanced feeling of hand flying the final approach." Kristoffer Sundberg said.

JoinJet has experienced a growing demand, for their on time, on target, VIP services. The addition of the Hawker 800XPr meets our current requirement for our Russia operation, flying from Russia to Southern Europe, which is only possible to be done with the upgraded version of Hawker 800XP. Recently JoinJet also added one more Dornier 328 Jet to it's fleet, as they are getting increasingly popular with music groups.

The Hawker 800XPr offers significant improvements over the performance and capability of the 800XP. The 800XPR upgrade offers Genuine Hawker winglets and more powerful, state-of-the-art Honeywell TFE-731-50R turbofan engines giving the 800XPR greater range, better time to climb and faster cruise speeds.
