Honda Aircraft Company has secured type validation from Brazil’s ANAC for the HondaJet Elite II and completed the first delivery of the light jet in the country. The certification clears the aircraft for registration in Brazil and opens the way for future sales in the market, where the model will be offered through Lider Aviação, Honda Aircraft’s authorised sales representative.
The milestone was disclosed in São Paulo during LABACE 2026, where the Elite II is also scheduled for display. Honda Aircraft has been building its presence in South America around the HondaJet family, with Brazil now becoming a key market for the programme. The validation confirms the aircraft meets Brazilian safety and performance requirements, allowing Honda to move from market access preparation into commercial activity in Latin America’s largest aviation market.
