Bombardier received an order from Japanese trading company and business jet provider Sojitz for a Global 6500 and Global 8000, Bombardier announced Wednesday morning at NBAA-BACE 2025. They will be used to launch Share Jet Program (SJP), Japan’s first shared ownership program for large, ultra-long-range business jets.

“The collaboration between our companies underscores a mutual dedication to advancing business aviation in Japan and Asia, connecting cities with greater speed and efficiency,” said Éric Martel, president and CEO of Bombardier.

Yohei Sakurai, the general manager of the business jet department at Sojitz, said the selection of the Globals was driven by the company’s extensive experience operating Bombardier aircraft in Japan. “Their proven aircraft platforms and quality of service make them the ideal foundation for launching Japan’s first large-jet, shared-ownership program,” he said.

SJP worked with Bombardier on one-of-a-kind interiors to deliver “an unparalleled experience” in cabin design and craftsmanship.
