Honda Jet priced lower than a regular luxury business private jet

When you hear of flying on a private jet, what comes to your mind will be luxury, private business meeting 5,000 feet above the sea level, no flight delays, faster transportation among other luxury privileges.


 The experience of flying on a Private Jet is getting better as automobile company ‘Honda’ has built a very light jet which has a maximum speed of 782 km/h (485 mph) and is built mainly for the American market.

The jet cabin is very small with a sitting capacity of four passengers with two seats facing each other. The jet can be controlled by only one pilot however two pilots can control the jet. The cabin sitting can be expanded to five while if only one pilot is flying the jet, it can carry six passengers with a passenger sitting at the cabin. The jet is equipped with a standard toilet and sink and a toilet door which costs about $35,000.

The Honda Jet is not like the typical private jet that has a passenger sitting capacity of 18 however it is built for short and fast business trips which will carry passengers within a short destination in a short period of time instead of going by road which will involve more time, as the saying goes time is money, so this will cut down on the time spent for a transit like from New York to Los Angeles.

The Honda Jet which was designed in Japan and developed in Greensboro North Carolina, USA is priced at $4.8 million contrary to the private jet that Dangote uses, the Bombardier Global Express 5000 which is priced at $50 million. This is the first private jet to be offered at this price which is definitely a fair deal.

With the price that the Honda Jet is offered at, this will mean that more people will soon start acquiring and chartering private jets, which will boost the air transport luxury industry.


With this new venture into the jet industry by Honda, they are definitely breaking new grounds, and it will not surprise us if Honda decides to start building commercial jets in the nearest future.
