If you're in the market for a private plane, and like the idea of Certified Pre-Owned, Honda now has you covered. Honda Aircraft Company is launching its first Certified Pre-Owned program for HondaJet. The first CPO option in its aircraft class, Honda says “Honda Aircraft Company Certified Pre-Owned” will ensure the best ownership experience and peace of mind for HondaJet customers.
HondaJet CPO Program
Honda says its new CPO program provides an exclusive and alternative pathway to owning a HondaJet with a guarantee of quality and support. Just like vehicles, planes will need to pass a rigorous inspection to get the CPO designation. Honda says every CPO HondaJet must pass a meticulous 208-point standard inspection. The inspection, designed to make sure the jets meet Honda's high quality, safety and performance standards, will be conducted by Honda-trained technicians across its authorized service network. The program also offers end-to-end services, from ease of entry-into-service to post-sales support, backed by Honda Aircraft Company and its authorized sales network. Honda says all aircraft that make the cut into the CPO program will also be upgraded to the highest performance level available for each model, based on applicable service bulletins.
CPO buyers will also receive a FlightSafety Initial Pilot Training session and a 6-month or 100-hour credit (whichever occurs first), provided by Honda Aircraft to be applied toward the cost associated with the Airframe Flight Ready Performance program. It facilitates direct collaborations with the company’s knowledgeable team of factory-employed sales professionals who are the foremost product experts on the HondaJet and the light jet market.

“As demand for the HondaJet continues to rise, pre-owned aircraft have become an increasingly important entry point into the HondaJet community,” said Amod Kelkar, Chief Commercial Officer of Honda Aircraft Company. “The CPO program extends our commitment to excellence to all aspects of the long-term ownership experience and ensures that all HondaJet owners, both current and future, will have the best ownership experience and peace of mind, regardless of their position in the ownership journey.”
The new program is now available to customers across the Americas, Europe, and Asia through the company’s authorized sales network.
Honda also recently announced it would commercialize the HondaJet 2600 Concept. The new light jet can fly nonstop transcontinental flights across the U.S. with a maximum cruise speed of 450 knots and maximum ceiling of 47,000 feet.
Honda says the HondaJet global fleet exceeds 185,000 flight hours and has grown to over 230 aircraft worldwide.
