Honda Aircraft Company has reached a significant milestone with the delivery of its 250th HondaJet since the commencement of customer deliveries in late 2015. This achievement highlights the aircraft’s notable presence in the business aviation sector. The 250th HondaJet recently emerged from the production line, completing the Standard Certificate of Airworthiness. To commemorate this occasion, associates of Honda Aircraft Company gathered for a special event at the company’s global headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Reflecting on this milestone, Hideto Yamasaki, President & CEO of Honda Aircraft Company, remarked, “The delivery of our 250th HondaJet is not merely a numerical achievement but a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation. We are deeply appreciative of the global recognition and trust bestowed upon the HondaJet by our customers. Our dedication to advancing the aviation industry persists as we continually strive to redefine the possibilities of air travel, bringing enhanced joy and freedom to our customers.”
The HondaJet, which received its type certification from the FAA in 2015, has been a transformative force within its class. With 14 type certifications worldwide, the aircraft’s evolution from the HondaJet (2015) to the Elite (2018), the Elite S (2021), and the most recent Elite II (2022) has consistently pushed the boundaries of the very light jet category. Renowned for its exceptional fuel efficiency, speed, altitude capabilities, and range, the expanding HondaJet fleet underscores Honda Aircraft Company’s commitment to delivering unparalleled value to customers.
Additionally, Honda Aircraft Company announced that the global HondaJet fleet has surpassed 210,000 flight hours with an exceptional dispatch reliability rate of 99.7%, further affirming the aircraft’s reliability and performance. As the fleet continues to grow, HondaJet customers benefit from convenient access to top-tier support and services through Honda’s extensive global network of Authorised Sales Representatives and Authorized Service Centers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, enhancing the overall flying experience.
As the HondaJet solidifies its position as a frontrunner in its category, Honda Aircraft Company remains steadfast in its mission to shape the future of aviation mobility. This commitment is exemplified by the development of the HondaJet Echelon, a visionary next-generation business jet aimed at elevating efficiency to new heights while delivering premium comfort and convenience. The HondaJet Echelon builds upon the innovative legacy of its predecessor, furthering Honda Aircraft Company’s mission to create new value for aviation enthusiasts worldwide.
