Hawker 4000s for Netjets Europe?

[johnsonrod]

Just saw this on PPrune - looks like Netjets Europe may still get Hawker 4000s. Check out the website link:

Did the big Hawker cancellation recently still include some 4000s left over for NJE?

Nice looking airplane in that paint job. I see NJE airplanes over in Europe all the time and I am starting to "warm" to the paint scheme.

By the way, that's a slick looking website for NJE... I like how you can view each aircraft type in the fleet easily. That Falcon 7X looks pretty nice too - real nice interior.

Over here in Europe, I'm not sure about the eventual timescale introduction of the H4000. Nice flight deck & performance but - "Nice looking airplane in that paint job" - yuk!!! uke:

The official demonstrator was at Biggin Hill UK a few months ago, but to me, the "old" design looks much better. Aircraft review is here.

Yes, our website has very recently been relaunched with vastly improved content.

The only thing warm about the new paint scheme is the vomit in my mouth every time I see it....

 

[hawkerflyer]

Yeah, that choice of paint scheme really made me scratch my head. Of all the possible designs you could come up with, that was the end result ? Horrible.

 

[johnsonrod]

Aaahh, you know those Europeans, always trying to be so stylish...

On holiday, in Koh Samui last year, I had drinks with a NetJets Europe pilot. He was cautiously optomistic of the future. The Hawker looks nice with good performance. I do think, however, the Challenger 300 would be a great fit.

In one recent brief, the customer profile specifically requested they never see a Europe paint scheme because they didn't like it at all. And how much did we pay that Brit to design it? Besides, a unique scheme detracts from the whole concept of annonymity.

<<<< And how much did we pay that Brit to design it? >>>>

Commercial in confidence I am sure......

Tsk, tsk, it's not just "that Brit," he is a LORD, down on your knees to pay proper respect!!

Now, my view is that some of the building designs he & his company have worked on are works of art! In particular, the Millau bridge in south France is beautiful - & technically outstanding (tallest bridge in the world). I've also been inside the Reichstag building in Berlin & looked up at the glass domed roof & thought - "Wow!!"

However, personally I hate the aircraft design - & as noted, it ain't that anonymous!

That's awesome. :laugh:

I asked Jim C in recurrent a couple months ago whether our new CEO hated the new paint. "Yep, he hates it" he said. So there's hope!

 

[Mike Jenvey]

Fingers crossed for the demise of the "new" design..... :beer:

On another aviation website, there is information that states:

Forget about it... The whole Hawker 4000 order has been cx!!! The website needs to be updated....​

That looks like el ZORRO'S wife airplane.......

I'm pretty sure that the website info is old. I actually saw that plane pictured once down in Little Rock over a year ago in that paint job. About 6+ months ago I saw that plane again at LIT and the paint was stripped off of it, but the tail number was still on it. To my knowledge NJE never ordered them and NJA cancelled all 50 orders. To my knowledge, NJE is over stocked with planes just like NJA and wouldnt be receiving new planes.

Plus who wants the Hawker 4000? It should have been on the market 5 years ago and the design is already 10+ years old. It's an old new plane.

Thats the new NJE website, so it should have up to date info, but who knows?
