Honda Aircraft is chasing more Southeast Asian customers for the HondaJet with the appointment this week of Forth Corp. and WingsOverAsia as new authorized sales representatives. Bangkok-based Forth will represent the manufacturer in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar. The territory for Singapore-based WingsOverAsia also covers Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines.
Forth Corp. is mainly active in fields such as communications technology, electronic monitoring, and support for energy and utility companies. WingsOverAsia has more direct experience in business aviation, running an FBO at Singapore Seletar Airport, as well as providing aircraft maintenance, sales support, and flight training.
In July 2022, North Carolina-based Honda Aircraft appointed Malaysia-based Karbon MRO as an exclusive authorized service center for HondaJet operators in Southeast Asia, adding to a global support network that now has 21 locations. There are 230 of the aircraft worldwide and the fleet has logged more than 170,000 flight hours.
“Southeast Asia is a dynamic market for business aviation, and we are excited to expand our presence in the region to deepen our connections with local customers,” said Peter Kriegler, Honda Aircraft’s v-p of sales.
