If you needed further proof (besides the funky engine configuration) that Honda is approaching its entry into the aviation industry a little differently than most start-ups, consider the news from Albany, N.Y. Before the first HondaJets roll off the Greensboro, N.C., assembly line sometime in 2010, a network of five full-service dealerships, with maintenance and repair facilities, will be ready to receive them. Earlier this week, HondaJet East announced that the key Northeastern market will be served from a new facility to be built at Albany International Airport.
After almost a year of research and analysis for the home of our HondaJet East facility, we are excited to be a part of the Albany community, said HondaJet East President C. Daniel Langston. HondaJet East is owned by Florida-based Flightline Group. HondaJet East isnt waiting for the building to be finished to move into Albany, however. Staff will work out of the existing FBO at the airport until their new quarters are finished.
