That is roughly €5,200 – 12,000 for a two-hour flight, all in. Range calibrated against thirty prices published by GlobeAir, LunaJets, PrivateFly and AeroAffaires in July 2026.

History of the type

The product of twenty years of research at Honda, the HondaJet entered service in 2015. Its over-the-wing engine mounts, long thought impossible, reduce cruise drag and leave the whole rear fuselage to the cabin and the hold.

Frequently asked questions

What is the range of the HondaJet?

The Honda HondaJet has a range of 2,185 km, or 1,180 nautical miles with regulatory reserves. At its cruising speed of 778 km/h, that works out at about 2 h 49 of continuous flight. Real-world range falls with the number of passengers, the load and headwinds.

How many passengers can the HondaJet carry?

The standard layout seats 4 passengers. The certified maximum is 6 seats, but a fully loaded aircraft loses range: beyond 4 people, reckon on about 3 % less reach per extra passenger.

How much does it cost to charter a HondaJet?

The hourly rate observed on the European market runs from €2,600 to €6,000 for a Honda HondaJet. A two-hour flight therefore comes to roughly €5,200 – 12,000, all in: crew, fuel and landing fees. Most operators apply a minimum billing of one and a half hours.

Which airports can the HondaJet use?

It needs 1,219 metres of runway to take off and 914 metres to land at maximum weight. That opens up short fields such as Cannes-Mandelieu, Saint-Tropez La Môle or Courchevel-Chambéry. Its service ceiling reaches 43,000 feet, above commercial traffic and most weather.
