HondaJet Private Jet Charter

HondaJet at a glance

Every figure in this block is copied from the specification table on our own fleet page for this type. Nothing here is a manufacturer brochure number and nothing has been rounded up.

What the range means in practice

2,037 km of published range. That is the shortest figure on our fleet page, and it means that of the forty-eight routes published on this website, thirty-five are inside it and thirteen are not. Naming the thirteen is more useful than not naming them.

The thirteen the HondaJet does not reach nonstop on the published figure are all the sectors of 2,461 km and longer: the seven Gulf routes, the two Cyprus runs from London, London to Mykonos, Larnaca to Nice and the two longest western Mediterranean sectors. That is the honest answer, and it is why we would put a midsize type forward for any of them.

What is left is the great majority of the network, and it is where this aircraft is genuinely well matched. The longest route it takes with margin is London to Malaga at 1,721 km, 316 km inside the figure. Nice to Athens at 1,542 km, Rome to London at 1,488 km and London to Ibiza at 1,452 km all sit comfortably inside.

From there down the aeroplane is simply doing what it was built for. London to Nice at 1,074 km, Geneva to London at 753 km, London to Paris at 380 km, Geneva to Nice at 300 km: these are half-hour to two-hour sectors for four people who want the aircraft to be waiting when they arrive, not a cabin to sleep in.

A short-range aircraft is also, on the right sector, the cheapest way to charter. The trade is that there is no margin for the long way round: when an airspace closure or a weather diversion adds two hundred kilometres to a routing that was already near the limit, a light jet feels it and a midsize one does not. On sectors under 1,500 km that trade is almost always worth making.

Published range is a specification, not a clearance. The operating crew plan each flight against actual weight, weather and alternates. Where a sector on this website is beyond the published figure we have said so rather than left it to the table.

The twelve longest routes we publish, measured against 2,037 km

Below 2,400 km every remaining route on this website is inside the published range, though on the longest of them the margin is 316 km rather than a comfortable thousand. These are the mid-length sectors, from about an hour and a quarter to two and a half hours by our own published flight-time estimates.

Distances are great-circle figures between airport coordinates from the OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026. Flight times quoted anywhere on this page are estimates from a model fitted to the flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes, not measured block times. The 19 routes shorter than 700 km are listed on the route index. Range figures are the ones published on our own fleet page and assume still air, optimum cruise and a sensible payload.

The cabin

5.43 m long, 1.52 m wide, 1.47 m high, four or five seats and 1.60 m³ of hold. In the light class those are good numbers, and the height is the one to be clear about.

Standing up. You do not. 1.47 m of cabin height is a seated cabin, and that is true of the whole light group on our fleet page - the Citation CJ2 and Citation Bravo are listed at 1.45 m. On a one- or two-hour sector it matters much less than people expect; on a four-hour sector it would matter a great deal, which is another reason we do not put this type on the long ones.

Length is where it wins. 5.43 m of cabin is the longest of the light group our fleet page lists: the Citation Bravo is 4.78 m, the Phenom 300 4.88 m, the Nextant 400 XTi 4.72 m, the Piaggio Avanti 4.55 m and the Premier IA 3.38 m. Two metres more floor than a Premier IA in the same passenger bracket is a different aeroplane to sit in.

Width. 1.52 m, ahead of the two Citations in the same group at 1.47 m. Combined with the length, that is what makes four seats in this cabin feel like four seats rather than a squeeze.

Sleeping. No berths are listed for this type, and none should be expected. The sectors it suits are short enough that the question does not arise.

Luggage. 1.60 m³, which is mid-table in the light class - ahead of the Nextant 400 XTi at 1.31 m³ and the Piaggio Avanti at 1.00 m³, behind the Premier IA at 2.18 m³ and the Phenom 300 at 2.27 m³. For four people with cabin bags on London to Nice it is ample; for four people with ski bags it is worth asking about before you book.

Crew. No flight attendant. That is normal in this class - the Citation CJ2, the Citation Bravo, the Nextant 400 XTi, the Premier IA and the Piaggio Avanti are all listed the same way on this website - and it means catering is loaded before departure rather than served from a galley.

Cabin dimensions, berth counts, baggage volumes and the flight-attendant line are all taken from the specification tables published on this website, including the comparison figures quoted for other types.

Prices we have published for the HondaJet

These are our own figures for this aircraft, not somebody else’s estimate. They are whole-aircraft prices for the sectors named, at the passenger count shown, and they move with the date, the positioning of the aircraft and the fuel price on the day. Treat them as the size of the number rather than as a quotation: only a written quotation against your dates is a price. Our own guide rate for the type is EUR 2,900 per flight hour; the sector figures below are whole-aircraft prices and are not that rate multiplied by the flight time.
