The HondaJet Elite II is now type validated in Brazil, and Honda Aircraft has delivered the first of these latest very light jets to a customer in the country. An Elite II is on display this week at HondaJet-authorized sales representative Lider Aviação at LABACE 2026 at São Paulo Campo de Marte Airport (SBMT).

Featuring Garmin’s Emergency Autoland, the Elite II is equipped with autothrottles that ease pilot workload in busy airspace and Garmin G3000 avionics. Ground spoilers improve takeoff and landing performance, and Honda Aircraft increased the jet’s four-passenger NBAA IFR range to 1,547 nm. The Elite II was unveiled in October 2022.
