Honda Aircraft Delivers 200th HondaJet
The model is certified in more than 13 countries and the fleet has accumulated more than 98,000 flight hours.
Honda Aircraft recently handed over the 200th HondaJet to a customer. The milestone comes six years and two variants after the light jet’s first delivery on Dec. 23, 2015. That first delivery came 14 days after then-FAA Administrator Michael Huerta presented the clean-sheet twinjet’s type certificate to Honda Aircraft president and CEO Michimasa Fujino.
Upgrades on the Elite S include increasing the aircraft’s takeoff weight by 200 pounds and new avionics features that further expand the jet’s operational capability and reduce pilot workload for improved safety. Certified in more than 13 countries, the HondaJet fleet has accumulated more than 98,000 flight hours.
