Honda Aircraft Company is close to seeing entry into service of its HondaJet, which has begun a demonstration tour for customers.

“Over the past three weeks, many customers experienced their first flight in the HondaJet, and we have enjoyed seeing their excitement as we showcase the aircraft's capabilities,” comments president and ceo Michimasa Fujino. “The programme is in the final phase of certification testing with the FAA, with all four flight test aircraft maintaining an intensive certification testing schedule.”

The HondaJet flight test fleet has logged more than 2,000 flight hours and has conducted testing at more than 70 locations across the US. Honda Aircraft also announced that the company is expanding its world headquarters located at the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina, to accommodate increasing sales activity and a dedicated hangar for delivery preparation.
