Honda recently introduced Senior Manager of Logistics and Materials Control at Honda Aircraft Company Jon Wells as the next associate profile for its 12-part What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda video series.  Jon is being recognized for using his piloting skills for the benefit of his community.

Wells has been with Honda for 12 years.  He works at the Honda Aircraft Company in Greensboro, NC.  He and his team are responsible for ensuring the manufacturing of the HondaJet goes smoothly.

“The aircraft first flew in 2003 and I was actually at American Honda on the automotive side. When I saw it fly, I knew that my ultimate goal was to combine what I do with my passion for aviation,” Wells said.

When not working, Wells is using his own personal aircraft to benefit his community.  He has used it to transport over 200 patients in need of medical treatment through a program called Angel Flight.  He’s also worked with the Pilots ‘n Paws Program to transport animals to new homes.

“Honda challenges us to be a company that society wants to exist and one of the ways we can do that is by giving back to the community,” said Wells. “You can get your pilot’s license but after you get it, then what? This was an opportunity to put it to work, to do something good and to show how useful aviation can be.”

The video series focuses on individual who possess the core values of Honda’s approach to business; they are innovators with an youthful spirit and respect for the individual.  The What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda series also highlights the career opportunities available within the company.
