Hawaiian Charter Group Wing Spirit Commits To Purchasing 15 HondaJets

Will Provide Luxury Inter-Island Transportation Throughout The Islands

Hawaiian charter group Wing Spirit has purchased a total of 15 HondaJets to support inter-island transportation in the Hawaiian Islands. With the initial deliveries to Wing Spirit taking place earlier this month, the HondaJet Elite became the first light jet to enter service in Hawaii.

A newly-established aviation group, Wing Spirit will use its HondaJets to provide luxury inter-island transportation throughout the Hawaiian Islands. They are also exploring using HondaJets as air ambulances and for aviation education opportunities. The aircraft serving as air ambulances will be outfitted with custom medevac configurations, marking the first time this design has been implemented in the HondaJet program's history.

"Wing Spirit's purchase of 15 aircraft to operate throughout the Hawaiian Islands is a realization of our goal to expand the world's business jet market. Prior to the HondaJet's entry into service in the region, no other light jet had operated in Hawaii," said Honda Aircraft Company president and CEO Michimasa Fujino. "We are confident the HondaJet's efficiency, comfort and best-in-class performance are well-suited to Wing Spirit's mission to revolutionize business aviation in the region."

Sal Miwa, Wing Spirit's executive vice president and chief operating officer, added, "When deciding how we could best provide convenient and luxurious transportation to the residents and tourists in Hawaii, the HondaJet was a natural choice. We are thrilled to expand our fleet to 15 HondaJets and for our customers to experience the most technologically advanced jet in its class."

The most delivered aircraft in its class for two consecutive years, the HondaJet fleet is comprised of more than 125 aircraft around the globe. Currently, Honda Aircraft Company sales and service network spans North America, Europe, Middle and South America, Southeast Asia, China, the Middle East, India and Japan.
