JAL and Marubeni to launch business jet venture
Japan Airlines and Marubeni Corporation will establish a business jet services company that will commence operations during the spring of 2019. JAL Business Aviation Co will have paid-in capital of US$1.37m, with JAL holding a 51% stake and Marubeni the remainder. It will be headquartered in Tokyo. Its key operations will include arranging charter flights, aircraft management and operational support services for business jets, such as concierge and airport handling. JAL says that the venture will “meet the expanding demand of the service in Japan.” Rival ANA teamed up with Sojitz Corporation to launch its own private jet operation, ANA Business Jet, last year. The company uses HondaJets which offers connecting services to ANA flights at Chicago O’Hare International and Los Angeles International. <br/>
