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.”
