Model & Market Context
This airframe, tail number N420EX, is a 2015-built example of the Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite with serial number 42000011. The unit is registered in the US and is owned by HONDA AVIATION SERVICE CO INC, a corporation based in Greensboro, NC, US, which indicates a manufacturer-affiliated operator/holder rather than a third-party charter house. The aircraft’s registry and ownership reflect manufacturer-associated retention for support, demonstration, or corporate transport purposes. No separate public record of subsequent ownership transfers or notable registry actions is provided in the supplied data.
The subject airframe’s cabin is configured for executive missions with club seating for 4–6 and optional secondary seats to complete an 8-place layout; cabin dimensions are approximately ~12.1 ft in length and ~5 ft in width. Amenities include a private aft lavatory and a baggage volume of approximately ~66 cu ft, supporting typical short- to mid-range corporate transport and light charter missions. The cockpit is installed with a Garmin G3000 avionics suite, aligning this platform with modern integrated flightdeck requirements for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Based in Greensboro under a manufacturer-related owner, this airframe is likely employed in roles ranging from corporate transport to demonstration flights and would follow factory-directed maintenance and support pathways.
As a member of the HondaJet family, the Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite occupies the light business jet niche with above-average cruise speed (422 kts) and a transcontinental-appropriate range (1,437 nm) relative to many light jets. Competing models include other advanced light jets offering similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand for factory-supported airframes tends to favor low-time, well-documented examples with manufacturer service histories. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its manufacturer-affiliated ownership and factory support access, which typically enhance tracking of service records and parts availability.
