Flying private in greater numbers


ANA Business Jet doesn’t own any planes itself, bringing costs down. Rather it works with around 40 operators globally to arrange flights, which also allows the group to be more nimble.

TOKYO: Wealthy people in Japan are turning to private jets in greater numbers as they seek to eschew crowded airports amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The push means that ANA Holdings Inc’s private jet charter business is expecting sales of 1 billion yen (US$9mil or RM37mil) in the 2022 fiscal year, Jun Katagiri, the chief executive officer of ANA Business Jet Inc, said last week. ANA Business Jet is owned jointly by ANA and trading company Sojitz Corp.
