Fractional aircraft provider Volato has taken delivery of its first HondaJet Elite II&nbsp;with a second of the twinjets&nbsp;expected to be handed over to the Atlanta company by the end of next week. The deliveries stem from <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2022-12-01/volato-doubles-down-hondajet-latest-fleet-order">an order</a> the company placed with Honda Aircraft earlier this month for 25 of the type, which will increase its fleet of HondaJets to more than 40.
“Volato seeks to uphold our market standing in providing the most innovative solutions to private aviation,” said Volato CEO Matt Liotta. “Every business decision is made with our customers at the core, and we're ecstatic to bring this model to market for those interested in flying on the most innovative aircraft of its kind.”
The Elite II order preceded one <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2022-09-15/volato-spreads-its-wings-gulfstream-g280-order">Volato made</a> in September for four super-midsize Gulfstream G280s, which will be added to the company’s fractional fleet.
In addition to fractional ownership, Volato offers aircraft management, charter, and a jet card program. Operating a floating fleet nationally, the company has bases in Atlanta; St. Augustine and Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Baltimore, Maryland; Houston; and Carlsbad, California.
