Honda Aircraft delivers first Elite II in Brazil
The Elite II will be on static display at LABACE 2026 from August 4 to 6 at Campo de Marte Airport in São Paulo.
Honda Aircraft said it has made its first delivery of the HondaJet Elite II in Brazil following type validation of the latest HondaJet variant by the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).
Líder Aviação, Latin America’s largest private aviation business headquartered in Belo Horizonte, serves as the exclusive authorised sales representative for HondaJet in Brazil, providing sales, service and support.
The Elite II builds on the success of the HondaJet platform with enhanced performance and advanced technologies, featuring a maximum NBAA IFR range of 1,547 nautical miles, increased fuel capacity and other performance improvements.
The aircraft introduces advanced automation features to reduce pilot workload, including an autothrottle, which can automatically manage engine power to maintain desired speeds and improve passenger comfort.
“This delivery underscores Honda Aircraft Company’s commitment to building a global fleet presence while delivering meaningful value to customers worldwide,” said Amod Kelkar, senior vice president and chief commercial officer.
“The enhanced features of the Elite II will enable customers in Brazil and across South America to travel farther, more efficiently, and with an elevated level of comfort.”
The Elite II will be on static display at LABACE 2026 from August 4 to 6 at Campo de Marte Airport in São Paulo.
Líder Aviação operates 22 fixed base operations (FBOs) throughout Brazil and has supported a total of 9 HondaJet deliveries in the country since 2017.
