Both the Hawker 800XP and the Citation Excel have a lot to offer: Both of these medium-sized jets have a spacious cabin and a high cruising speed. The most striking performance difference between the two aircraft is range: the Hawker flies from the west to the east coast of the USA or vice versa under ideal conditions. The Excel's range is almost 25 per cent less. The Hawker also plays to its advantages in terms of comfort and space: It is the roomier of the two aircraft. In addition, luggage is stored in the Hawker between the cockpit and the cabin and is therefore easily accessible during the flight.
