That's a fraction of the true hourly cost of owning the same aircraft — and up to 4x cheaper than buying a used one.
+ HondaJet maintenance contracts, billed at cost
The more hours you commit per year — in 100-hour increments — the lower your base rate. Maintenance is billed separately as a transparent, at-cost pass-through.
| Annual Hours Committed | Lease Rate |
|---|---|
| 100 hours / year | $3,900 /hr |
| 200 hours / year | $3,500 /hr |
| 300 hours / year | $3,100 /hr |
| 400 hours / year — best value | $2,800 /hr |
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.
At a Glance: Cost Per Flight Hour
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, here is the true hourly cost across all three scenarios:
| Option | Annual Cost / Hour | |
|---|---|---|
| ✓ Lease This Aircraft | Dry Lease — 200 hr | $3,500 |
| Buy Used HondaJet | 5-Yr Full Amort. | $11,928 |
| Buy New HondaJet | 5-Yr Full Amort. | $18,390 |
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.
When you buy a HondaJet — new or used — these are the costs you absorb every year:
| Expense | Buy Used HJ | Buy New HJ |
|---|---|---|
| Debt Service (5-yr full amort.) | $950,458 | $1,520,732 |
| Opportunity Cost on Deposit | $126,387 | $202,219 |
| Insurance | $60,000 | $60,000 |
| Hangar | $54,000 | $54,000 |
| Charts / Admin | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| TOTAL ANNUAL FIXED COST | $1,192,845 | $1,838,951 |
| Cost Per Hour (100 hrs/yr) | $11,928 | $18,390 |
| Multiple vs. Leasing at $3,500/hr | 3.4x more expensive | 5.3x more expensive |
The lease eliminates all of this. You pay one predictable rate. No debt. No depreciation. No capital tied up in a depreciating asset.
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.
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.
This is a dry lease for qualified pilots and flight departments — not a charter arrangement. You get the aircraft. You operate it on your schedule. Terms are customized to your hours flown and operational needs. Minimum commitment applies.

| Specification | HondaJet Elite S | Cessna M2 Gen2 | Phenom 100EV | Vision Jet G2+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Cruise Speed | 422 KTAS | 404 KTAS | 406 KTAS | 345 KTAS |
| Max Altitude | 43,000 ft | 41,000 ft | 41,000 ft | 31,000 ft |
| Cabin Volume | 225 cu ft | 213 cu ft | 197 cu ft | 162 cu ft |
| Range — Manufacturer Max1 pilot, ideal conditions | 1,437 nm | 1,550 nm | 1,178 nm | 1,275 nm |
| Range — 4 Adults + Bags | ~1,400 nm | ~1,250 nm | ~1,090 nm | ~600 nm |
| Externally Serviced, Closed Lavatory | Yes | No | No | No |
Range reflects a full cabin — four 175 lb adults plus ~100 lb of baggage — flown with NBAA IFR reserves. Manufacturer "maximum range" assumes a single light pilot and optimal conditions. The HondaJet's class-leading 651 lb full-fuel payload means it surrenders the least range when loaded, while the single-engine Vision Jet's ~430 lb full-fuel payload forces a large fuel offload — cutting its practical range to roughly 600 nm with four adults aboard.
