The Honda HA-420 HondaJet occupies the light business jet niche with a performance blend of high cruise speed and transcontinental range for its class, exemplified by this airframe’s 422 kts cruise and 1,437 nm range. Its twin GE Honda HF120 engines providing 2,050 lbf each support efficient climb and high-altitude cruise to 43,000 ft, making it competitive against other entry-level light jets in charter and owner-operator markets. Demand among buyers and charter operators typically emphasizes modern avionics such as the Garmin G3000, low operating empty weight, and resale considerations tied to engine time and factory optionization; this airframe’s 2024 manufacture date and documented valuation of $5,400,000 inform its position in resale and charter pricing discussions.
