Index ≈ ×1.11 to ×1.36 on the aircraft value, already with ferry, ANAC nationalization, IPI and ICMS.
Market estimate: value + ferry + ANAC nationalization + taxes, no legal review. II, PIS and COFINS are 0% for aircraft (NCM 88.02); IPI is 6.5% (3.25% for air taxi) until Dec 31, 2026; ~4% ICMS only through a qualified importer (Agreement 75/91).
Operate = direct cost/hour (fuel + maintenance + engine); excludes fixed costs (hangar, crew, insurance). World: hourly rate published by charter operators. Brazil: charter is quoted per leg, so the hourly figure is an estimate from route quotes.

The HondaJet HA-420 is Honda Aircraft's very light jet, in production since 2015 and identified by the ICAO code HDJT. It has over-the-wing engine mounts, a configuration characteristic of the model. It flies 1,437 nm, cruises at 422 kt, and has a ceiling of 43,000 ft, with 5 typical seats and up to 7 in total, a maximum takeoff weight of 4,853 kg, and a list price of US$5,450,000. On this page you will find the complete technical specifications, the estimated operating cost per flight hour, and the HondaJet fleet registered in Brazil.
How much runway the HondaJet HA-420 needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
No mandatory factoring: fits 390 of 465 Brazilian public runways.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Honda began aeronautics research in 1986, with the first experimental prototype, the MH02, flying in 1993. The HondaJet HA-420 entered formal development in 1997, first flight in December 2003 and FAA certification in December 2015, a cycle of more than 30 years from concept to entry into service. Honda Aircraft Company was founded in 2006 in Greensboro, NC, with Michimasa Fujino (engineer of the OTWEM design) as CEO until 2022.
Between 2017 and 2022, the HondaJet was the most delivered jet in the world in its category (Light/VLJ), with more than 200 units in service globally. In 2022 Honda Aircraft Co launched the HondaJet Elite II with an updated cabin, Garmin G3000 and autothrottle planned for 2023, maintaining its bestseller position in the category.
Thanks to the OTWEM design, the HondaJet cabin (5.43m long, 66 ft³ baggage compartment) is significantly larger than traditional VLJs, with 35% more usable space than the Mustang/Phenom 100. The 66 ft³ baggage compartment holds golf bags, large suitcases and sports equipment for 5 passengers. The rear lavatory with a window and a solid door brings light jet comfort.
With a maximum speed of 422 kt, the HondaJet is the fastest VLJ on the market, surpassing the Mustang (340kt), Phenom 100 (370kt) and Citation M2 (404kt). Combined with an FL430 ceiling, it operates above much of the commercial traffic and bad weather. High speed makes it possible to recover routes that would normally require a larger light jet.
A maximum range of 1,437 nm (NBAA IFR) with 4 people is modest compared with the Phenom 300 (2,010 nm) or Citation CJ3+ (2,040 nm), and does not cover nonstop flights GRU-Manaus (2,300 nm) or GRU-Buenos Aires + return. For regional missions up to 2.5 hours it is perfect; for Brazilian continental routes, it requires stops.
The HondaJet is the ONLY biz jet in production with engines mounted over the wings (Over-The-Wing Engine Mount). The design was developed by Michimasa Fujino based on research by NASA engineer Richard Whitcomb on transonic drag reduction. The benefits are: freeing up interior cabin space (no structural box in the rear fuselage), reduced cabin noise and better aerodynamics at high speed.
Honda Aircraft Company operates an integrated factory in Greensboro, NC, on 133 acres at Piedmont Triad International Airport. All HondaJet production (structure, assembly, flight testing, customer center) takes place in Greensboro, which is also home to R&D. Choosing the US as the production base was strategic for access to the American market (the world's largest biz jet market).
The HondaJet's HF120 engines are developed and produced by GE Honda Aero Engines, a 50/50 joint venture between GE Aviation and Honda Aero created in 2004. The HF120 produces 2,095 lbf of thrust, offers 5,000 hours TBO and is the first commercial jet engine co-developed by Honda. It competes directly with the Williams FJ44 and the Pratt & Whitney PW600.

Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 3,243 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 1,915 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves) plus US$ 265,750 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance), under Jet Tracker's default assumptions (Southeast Brazil, in-house crew, 200 h/year).
