Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N243CX, is a 2024-build Honda HA-420 HondaJet with serial number 42000267 constructed by Honda Aircraft Company. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by SKYMAKER LLC (an LLC based in Nashville, TN, US), with ownership and operator records indicating corporate possession since new. There are no public notes of prior operators or leasing actions; the aircraft is recorded as a current corporate asset and is assigned an indicative market value of $5,750,000. The airframe shows standard factory specification and configuration consistent with contemporary HA-420 deliveries.
The cabin on this HA-420 is configured to accommodate a typical single crew plus between five and seven passengers in standard layouts, with factory-allowed configurations enabling up to six to eight occupants depending on belted lavatory or galley selections; this airframe is listed with an eight-seat capacity. Avionics are fitted with the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern glass-panel navigation, flight management and automation suited to single-pilot corporate operations. Operational use for this registration is consistent with short to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter missions from its Nashville, Tennessee base, with cruise performance enabling efficient point-to-point hops within the aircraft’s 1,547 nm range. Maintenance follows Honda Aircraft Company recommendations for the HA-420 and GE Honda HF120 engines, with corporate owners commonly applying Part 135 or private Part 91 maintenance regimes depending on commercial usage.
The Honda HA-420 HondaJet occupies the light business jet niche, notable for its over-the-wing engine mount and composite fuselage, offering high cruise speeds—here 422 kts—and a service ceiling to 43,000 ft. Competing models include other light jets with similar range and cabin capacity; buyer demand typically centers on owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient short-to-medium range performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2024 airframe reflect a young asset with factory-new serial 42000267, low depreciation risk relative to older airframes, and ongoing support through OEM and authorized service centers.
