Greensboro, North Carolina – Honda Aircraft Co. will showcase the HondaJet at the Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) Conference Dec. 6-8, 2016, in Dubai, the region’s premier business aviation event. The appearance at the Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International Airport will mark the first time a HondaJet will be on public display in the Middle East.
“We are excited to display the HondaJet at MEBAA for the first time where its high speed, quiet and comfortable cabin, sporty styling, and handling have appealed especially to savvy Middle East prospects and aircraft enthusiasts,” said Honda Aircraft President and CEO Michimasa Fujino. “With a range that connects the entire Arabian Peninsula, this region could benefit from this high-performance aircraft and our show presence will help us determine the best timing of Honda Aircraft’s entrance in the Middle East market.”
With a maximum cruise speed of 422kts (486mph), the HondaJet offers a maximum altitude of 43,000ft, and is fuel-efficient. It has an NBAA IFR range of 1,223nm.
A red and silver HondaJet will be on public display during the event. The HondaJet patented Over-The-Wing Engine Mount configuration, natural laminar flow wing and fuselage nose, and composite fuselage were developed from long-term research activities. The aircraft is certified for single pilot operation.
The HondaJet is currently offered for sale in North America, South America, and Europe through the HondaJet dealer network. Honda Aircraft Co. began customer deliveries in 2015 following receipt of HondaJet type certification by the United States Federal Aviation Administration.
