This program offers an exclusive and reliable pathway for customers Honda Aircraft Co. This program offers an exclusive and reliable pathway for customers interested in owning a HondaJet, ensuring quality and support throughout their ownership journey. As the only CPO option available in its class, each CPO HondaJet undergoes a meticulous selection, rigorous inspection, and expert maintenance processes to meet Honda's high standards for quality, safety and performance.
The program offers a comprehensive range of services, from entry-into-service to post-sales support, backed by Honda Aircraft and its authorized sales network. To instill confidence and peace of mind in their aircraft and purchase decision, every CPO HondaJet must pass a thorough 208-point standard inspection carried out by Honda-trained technicians across the authorized service network. Furthermore, all aircraft qualified for the CPO program will be upgraded to the highest performance level available for each model, based on applicable service bulletins.
Along with these assurances, CPO buyers will receive a FlightSafety Initial Pilot Training session and a 6-month or 100-hour credit (whichever comes first) provided by Honda Aircraft to be used towards the cost associated with the Airframe Flight Ready Performance program.
The program also fosters direct collaborations with the company's factory-employed sales professionals, who are highly knowledgeable about the HondaJet and the light-jet market. This commitment to customer satisfaction reflects Honda Aircraft's dedication to providing a superior ownership experience throughout the entire lifecycle of the aircraft.
'As demand for the HondaJet continues to rise, pre-owned aircraft have become an increasingly important entry point into the HondaJet community. 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,' said Amod Kelkar, chief commercial officer of Honda Aircraft.
