Overview
Program history
The IA followed the Premier I as a refinement of the same Model 390 platform. Its changes addressed equipment and the cabin experience rather than a wholly new airframe. Plans for a more extensive follow-on became the Premier II and subsequently Hawker 200, but that development did not enter customer service.
