Volato Inc., a prominent private aviation company and the largest operator of HondaJets in the United States, announced a significant expansion of its fleet, reaching a total of 24 HondaJet aircraft as of December 2023, marking a 50% increase. This expansion includes the incorporation of three new aircraft in December, comprising two direct deliveries from Honda and one managed plane. In total, eight new HondaJets joined Volato’s fleet in 2023.
This strategic expansion aligns with Volato’s systematic growth plan, involving the acquisition of aircraft directly from Honda and managing planes on behalf of owners. This approach allows Volato to uphold high standards in private air travel while fostering sustained growth.
Matt Liotta, Co-Founder and CEO of Volato emphasized the importance of the company’s measured approach, stating, “Volato’s measured and thoughtful approach to fleet expansion is critical to achieving our long-term plan for sustainable growth.” He highlighted the creativity in acquiring HondaJets from the open market alongside continuing orders from the HondaJet factory.
The increased fleet not only enhances availability and flexibility for customers but also aligns with Volato’s commitment to personalization and convenience. With a larger fleet, Volato ensures that clients experience unparalleled access to aircraft, meeting their flying needs promptly and efficiently, regardless of share size—a significant advantage in the private aviation sector where availability can be a constraint.
Furthermore, each new delivery from Honda contributes to maintaining Volato’s fleet among the industry’s youngest, ensuring clients enjoy the latest in aviation technology, comfort, and heightened reliability and efficiency.
Looking ahead, Volato anticipates the receipt of 10 additional HondaJet aircraft in 2024. Additionally, the company has signed a letter of intent with HondaJet for its new Echelon aircraft, set to become the first light jet capable of transcontinental flights.
