HondaJet Classic and APMG owners in Mexico can now upgrade their aircraft with the cutting-edge performance and technical innovations introduced on more recent iterations of the platform, such as the HondaJet Elite S, with the Federal Civil Aviation Agency’s formal certification of the HondaJet APMG S performance upgrade package. U.S. Federal Aviation Administration certification was announced back in Dec. 2025.
Amod Kelkar, Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer at Honda Aircraft Company commented: “We are excited to provide our customers in Mexico the opportunity to upgrade their aircraft with the advanced technology and performance of more recent iterations of the award-winning HondaJet. We are pursuing additional international certifications and hope to expand availability of the APMG S upgrade package to more HondaJet customers around the world soon.”
Honda Aircraft Company is offering the APMG S modifications package through the company’s Greensboro, NC Service Center as well as its global network of 21 Authorized Service Centers. AVEMEX is the official HondaJet distributor for Mexico, offering sales and MRO services, including the APMG S upgrade package. Moreover, the Honda Aircraft Company has already modified several pre-owned HondaJet aircraft with APMG S upgrades, which are available through its pre-owned aircraft program.
The HondaJet APMG S upgrade package includes avionics software and hardware that deliver faster processing speeds and enable future innovation across the legacy HondaJet fleet. These enhancements also bring key features from the HondaJet Elite S – such as the Advanced Steering Augmentation System– to a wider portion of the fleet. These advancements support handling precision and expand crosswind capability. As part of the HondaJet APMG S modifications, owners and operators also gain access to a 136-kilogram (300-lb) increase in Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) over the unmodified legacy HondaJet. This enhancement enables operators to access an expanded range of useful loads. Operators also gain Graphical Weight and Balance features, enabling pilots to input loading and fuel data to estimate takeoff and landing weights.
