Jet It has grounded its fleet of HondaJets, and the grounding, according to company spokesman Akir Khan, “was in response to an incident outside of the organization in Summerville, [South Carolina], and out of [an] abundance of caution. A Jet It aircraft was not involved in this incident.”

HondaJet N255HJ, registered to Upfrunt Services in Dover, Delaware, caught fire and was destroyed after exiting the 5,000-foot runway following landing at Summerville Airport (KDYB). All five occupants were able to exit safely.
