Honda tapped Thai Aerospace Services as its first-ever HondaJet dealer in Southeast Asia. The aircraft will be sold in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore and Vietnam. 

The seven-passenger HondaJet first hit the market in December 2015, and orders have topped 100. The design places the engines above the wings, granting the plane more interior space. Other selling points include speed and fuel efficiency.
