HondaJet in public flight debut – and it’s coming to Britain

First production Honda aircraft shows an impossible dream can become reality

HondaJetThe HondaJet aircraft will make its first public appearances in Japan and Europe later this month as it begins a 26,000 nautical mile, 13-country world debut flight tour.

What’s more, the HondaJet is coming to Britain – it’s set to appear in both Farnborough and Birmingham, following its world public in Japan on April 25th.

The advanced light jet will fly from Japan to the European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition – EBACE – in Geneva on May 19th, before then commencing a demonstration tour with HondaJet dealers in six countries.

Birmingham and Farnborough are confirmed stops on this tour, along with Geneva, Antwerp, Paris, Munich, Hamburg, Munich and Warsaw.

The fastest, highest-flying, quietest and most fuel efficient jet in its class, the HondaJet realises a dream of Honda founder Soichiro Honda. “The HondaJet world tour is a tribute to Honda’s challenging spirit to bring something truly innovative to business aviation,” said Honda Aircraft Company President and CEO Michimasa Fujino.

“The HondaJet has broad appeal in this region with its speed, superior efficiency, and a range that connects most of the major cities in Europe and the United Kingdom.”
