Description
Experience the world's most advanced light jet for approximately half the cost of purchasing new. Fly a HondaJet Elite S. from $2,800/hr. That's a fraction of the true hourly cost of owning the same aircraft — and up to 4x cheaper than buying a used one. Lease Pricing: Lease rates are based on annual flight-hour commitments, with lower hourly rates available for higher annual utilization. Aircraft maintenance is billed separately at cost as a transparent pass-through. 100 hours/year: $3,900 per flight hour 200 hours/year: $3,500 per flight hour 300 hours/year: $3,100 per flight hour 400 hours/year: $2,800 per flight hour (Best Value) Rates shown are base lease only. Aircraft maintenance is billed separately, at cost, based on your actual usage. Your personalized all-in estimate is provided after a brief qualification. The True Cost of HondaJet: Ownership vs. This Lease - Most aircraft cost comparisons focus on the purchase price. That's the wrong number. What matters is what you actually pay every time you fly. Based on 100 flight hours per year, the estimated hourly cost comparison is as follows: Lease This Aircraft (200-hour annual commitment): $3,500 per flight hour Purchase Used HondaJet (5-year fully amortized financing): $11,928 per flight hour Purchase New HondaJet (5-year fully amortized financing): $18,390 per flight hour Assumptions: 100 hrs/yr flown, 5-year fully amortized loan at 7%, 20% down payment, 12% opportunity cost on deposit. Lease figure is the base rate at a 200-hour annual commitment; maintenance is quoted separately, at cost. Source: Independent financial analysis. Exceptional Value: Lease the Future $3,500/hr vs. $11,928 to Own Owning a HondaJet costs roughly $11,928 per flight hour once you include debt service, insurance, and hangar. This lease delivers the same aircraft, the same capability, and the same experience for $3,500/hr — with none of the balance-sheet risk. Zero Capital Risk A new HondaJet requires a $1.6M down payment before you take your first flight. Over five years, the opportunity cost of that capital alone exceeds $200,000 annually at a 12% hurdle rate. A dry lease preserves your capital for where it belongs: your business.
