About this aircraft
The Premier IA updates the Premier I with improved systems and operational refinements—Beechcraft's polished entry light jet of its production era for regional hops.
It keeps Williams FJ44 light-jet speed and the composite-fuselage cabin for small executive groups, with better maturity than earliest Premier I deliveries. Charter matching treats it as the preferred Premier variant when both appear in inventory.
Choose IA over I when both appear in the light Beechcraft jet pool.
