The Beechjet 400A is a Puerto Rico light jet from San Juan (SJU), seating 7 to 8 with 1,500 nautical miles of range and a wide cabin for its class. It covers SJU to Florida, the US Southeast, and the eastern Caribbean nonstop. A comfortable, widely flown light jet.
Beechcraft built the Beechjet 400A from 1990 on a Japanese-designed airframe, cruising near 449 knots at up to 45,000 feet. Its flat-floor cabin is roomier than many light jets.
