Wijet Begins HondaJet Flights in Europe
The air-taxi company ordered 16 of these light business aircraft and launched service after its first one was delivered on March 20.
French air-taxi company Wijet recently took delivery of its first HondaJet and has begun flying charter customers in Europe. The company’s second HondaJet should arrive shortly, according to a Wijet spokesperson. Wijet and Honda Aircraft revealed that they had signed a memorandum of understanding for the purchase of 16 HondaJets at the 2018 Singapore Air Show.
The first Wijet HondaJet is operating from the company’s Paris Le Bourget headquarters. The aircraft operator certificate under which the HondaJets are flying is listed as Luxembourg-based Flying Group Lux.
Customers will be able to charter the Wijet HondaJets for flights within Europe, the spokesperson explained, “excluding a few [airports] in which we are not able to operate due to operational reasons—for example, Innsbruck.”
Wijet’s initial fleet consisted of 15 Cessna Citation Mustangs, and the company is the exclusive partner of Air France for “all business aviation requests.”
