We’re pleased to announce the latest aircraft available in our charter fleet at RAI Jets–a Beechcraft Premier I. Initially introduced by Raytheon/Hawker Beechcraft (now a part of Textron Aviation), the Beechcraft Premier has established a reputation as a quality business jet since the first one was manufactured in 1998. Our Premier I at RAI Jets is a 2005 light business jet and preferred choice for corporate executives, private owners, and charter operators.
At RAI Jets, we strive to have options for all our customer missions, and adding the Beechcraft Premier I to our fleet helps us achieve this goal. The aircraft is an attractive option between turboprop and mid-sized jets.
Performance and Speed
Premier I boasts an impressive speed for its light jet status. While most light jets don’t surpass a top speed of 480 mph, the Beechcraft Premier I’s two powerful Williams FJ44-2A engines give it a maximum cruise speed of 454 knots (523 mph). The sleek aircraft can stream through the sky at top speed, making it ideal for busy business executives.
The Beechcraft Premier I also has an impressive range of approximately 850 nautical miles, enabling non-stop flights between major cities, such as New York to Miami. The aircraft’s advanced aerodynamics and design also help with velocity. The aircraft’s high-strength composite fuselage reduces weight and enhances fuel efficiency. The Premier I “swept wing” design contributes to its aerodynamic performance and creates a smooth and comfortable ride for passengers.
Interior Luxury
The Premier I is a light jet with a cabin that’s larger than a standard light jet! The cabin features a height of 5 feet 5 inches and a width of 5 feet 6 inches, nearly as large as some mid-sized jet cabins. The ample headroom and shoulder space create a comfortable environment for up to six passengers. The Beechcraft Premier I interior is also designed with the passenger in mind, with ergonomic seating, generous storage space, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light.
Versatility
The Premier I aircraft is perfect for short hops or long journeys and is maneuverable enough to land at airports with shorter runways. While a favorite among business travelers, its versatility makes it a good choice for leisure trips to remote spots. The Beechcraft Premier I’s aerodynamic design also makes the aircraft a fuel-efficient choice.
