Honda Aircraft has developed a service to help HondaJet owners manage the maintenance of their airplanes. Called Aircraft Management Services (AMS), the program aims “to make HondaJet ownership effortless while offering owners greater control and predictability over maintenance demands,” according to the company. AMS is available to owners who enroll in Honda Aircraft’s Flight Ready service plans. 
AMS participants will work with Honda Aircraft’s customer service division to “guide, plan, and schedule maintenance activities, prioritizing safety, dependability, and value preservation.” Work will be done by Honda Aircraft’s network of authorized service centers, which number 21 worldwide, although AMS is initially available only for U.S.-based N-registered HondaJets. The AMS program will also be tailored to the way each owner operates their jet. 
The AMS program includes AOG and unscheduled maintenance support; scheduling and tracking of upgrades and modifications and regular maintenance; scheduling of aircraft detailing; pilot services such as for relocation, service bulletin and airworthiness directive compliance; and consolidated billing.
“At Honda Aircraft Company, our top priority remains customer satisfaction, a value that starts with your HondaJet purchase and extends throughout the life of the aircraft,” said Luis Jimenez, Honda Aircraft division director of customer service. “The AMS program further solidifies this commitment as the HondaJet fleet continues to grow.”
