"The Hawker 4000, with its sophisticated composite fuselage, supercritical wing, powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada FADEC-controlled engines and state-of-the-art Honeywell Primus EPIC avionics, simplifies the lives of busy executives and helps maximize their productivity.

The extensive selection of fine fabrics, leathers, and woods as well as advanced Collins Airshow entertainment electronics makes it a quiet, comfortable environment ideally suited for business flights (flying board room)   or leisure flying with a relaxed environment. Western Aviation's Hawker 4000 is expected to arrive in Dubai during the second quarter of 2009, a period when business aviation is expected to boom in the Middle East.
