The all-electric twin-turboprop eFlyer 800 reduces the operating costs by up to five times when compared with the existing twin turboprops.
Jet It co-founder and CEO Glenn Gonzales said: “The evolution of travel continues with this investment in sustainable aviation.
“At $1,600 an hour, our fleet of HondaJets is by far the cost leader in private travel and also, given the incredibly low-carbon footprint of the HondaJet, extremely friendly to the environment.
“The operating efficiency and zero emissions of the eFlyer 800 will allow Jet It and JetClub to deliver more value to travellers by further reducing the cost to travel while driving towards zero-net emissions.”
