Chartering the HondaJet HA-420 for an additional 200 hours per year can help offset operational costs while maximizing aircraft utilization. With an hourly operating cost of $1,747 and a charter rate of $3,000 per hour, the total revenue generated from 200 charter hours would amount to $600,000.

Incorporating charter operations into an ownership strategy allows owners to reduce overall costs while keeping the aircraft in optimal working condition. With its efficiency, speed, and advanced design, the HondaJet HA-420 remains a strong choice for private owners looking to generate additional revenue while maintaining a high level of operational flexibility.
