HondaJet Private Charter Flights
The HondaJet is a twin-engine very light jet built by Honda Aircraft Company in Greensboro, North Carolina. It seats up to 6 passengers with one pilot, or 5 with two, and the current HondaJet Elite II flies up to 1,547 nm (about 1,780 miles) with 4 people on board. That’s enough for trips like Dallas to Denver or New York to Palm Beach without a fuel stop. Its engines sit on top of the wings, which frees up cabin space and keeps the cabin quieter. The Elite II has its own section below.
HondaJet Charter Cost
A HondaJet charter costs about $2,500 per hour of flight time. Your final price depends on the route, dates, positioning flights and airport fees. For rates and availability, submit the flight request form or call our team 24/7 at +1 (212) 840-8000.
HondaJet Overview
The HondaJet has two GE Honda HF120 engines rated at 2,050 lb of thrust each, mounted above the wings instead of on the rear fuselage. It cruises at up to 422 knots, climbs to 43,000 ft and is certified to be flown by a single pilot. The cockpit runs on Garmin G3000 avionics with touchscreen controls.
Best Uses for the HondaJet
The HondaJet works best for 2 to 4 passengers on trips of 1 to 3 hours, such as Los Angeles to Las Vegas or New York to Chicago. Most other jets this size have an open toilet, but the HondaJet has a fully enclosed lavatory at the back, which matters on longer legs.
The cabin is 4 ft 10 in high, so passengers can’t stand up straight. Groups of more than 6, or anyone with a lot of luggage, should look at a larger light jet like the Phenom 300.

HondaJet Elite II Charter
Honda Aircraft introduced the HondaJet Elite II in October 2022, and it’s the model in production today. A higher takeoff weight and more fuel stretch its range to 1,547 nm, up from 1,437 nm on the earlier HondaJet Elite. The cabin was also redesigned, with soundproofing from nose to tail, new flooring and LED lighting.
The Elite II can be fitted with an autothrottle, which the FAA certified in October 2024, and Garmin Emergency Autoland, certified in February 2026. If the pilot becomes incapacitated, Autoland picks a suitable airport, contacts air traffic control and lands the jet on its own. Honda says the Elite II is the first twin-engine very light jet with both systems. Ask for an Elite II if you want the longest range and the newest safety features. Otherwise, an earlier HondaJet flies most of the same routes.

HondaJet Interior
Most HondaJets have four club seats facing each other, plus a side-facing seat and a belted seat in the lavatory on some aircraft. Because the engines sit above the wings, there’s no engine structure running through the rear cabin, which leaves room for the enclosed lavatory and a 53 cu ft baggage area behind it. The Elite II adds skylights in the lavatory and a quieter cabin.
Wi-Fi, refreshments and cabin finishes vary from one aircraft to the next, so ask what yours has when you book.
