Key Points: Why Charter the Beechcraft Premier 1A

    Beechcraft Premier 1A Development & Background

    The Beechcraft Premier 1A was developed by Raytheon Aircraft Company, with its first flight in 1998, and entered service in 2001. It was created in direct competition with the Cessna Citation series, and it received an anticipated welcome from the private aviation community. The Beechcraft Premier 1A introduced an innovative carbon-fiber/epoxy fuselage, which helped reduce structural weight and increased cabin width. This allows a spacious experience in a light jet cabin aircraft. 

    In 2005, Beechcraft decided to add several enhancements to an already amazing jet; soundproofing, better braking linkage, a manual lift-dump spoiler lever (helps in different runway/taxi conditions), Rockwell Collins Pro Line avionics with electronic charting and weather/terrain awareness. 

    Whether you’re planning short- to medium-range private jet flights for business or leisure, FlyRoving offers access to well-maintained Premier 1A jets to get you there in comfort and style.

    Beechcraft Premier 1A Experiences/Testimonials
    • .“I was amazed by the cabin width and the comfortable club seating. For a light jet, it felt closer to a mid-size experience, and we still landed at a smaller regional airport just minutes from our meeting.” – FlyRoving Client
    • “It’s fast, climbs quickly, and has great runway performance. The composite airframe makes it lighter, so we can operate efficiently on many routes.” – Jonathan S. - Senior Captain
