Honda Aircraft’s announcement that it will offer the $3.65 million HondaJet for sale in the European market beginning this month “is a big milestone,” according to Michimasa Fujino, president of the start-up aircraft manufacturer. “We have a lot of customer inquiries from the European market,” he said. To jumpstart that effort, for the first time Honda Aircraft will exhibit at the EBACE show in Geneva (May 20 to 22), although the company won’t bring the prototype HondaJet to EBACE, Fujino said, because “flight testing is intense.”

Honda Aircraft announced in March that it has begun selling the HondaJet in Mexico and Canada as well. Mexican operator Aerolíneas Ejecutivas ordered 10 copies of the airplane for its Mexjet fractional-share operation.
