Reflecting its continued focus on innovation and continuous improvements in customer service, NetJets plans to have all future fleet aircraft, including lightcabin models, delivered from the factory with high speed Internet service.
Originally designed as the Diamond I and manufactured by Mitsubishi in the early 1980s, the fast, light-cabin Japanese jet was purchased by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation and modified to become the Beechjet 400, the 400A and eventually the Hawker 400XP.
At the same time, Learjet was working on the Learjet 45, a totally new fuselage design, which would also target the light jet buyer seeking more range and cabin size together with operating costs less than a typical midsize aircraft.
