ANA forges business jet connections

Japanese airline ANA Holdings is to establish a business jet operation with Sojitz, a Japanese operator that also represents Boeing Business Jets and Bombardier business aircraft. The Tokyo-headquartered company will be known as ANA Business Jet and will offer private jet connections in Japan, North America and Europe to ANA's scheduled services, direct charter services from Japan to overseas destinations and concierge services such as ground transportation, hotels and restaurant arrangements.

ANA has also signed an MoU to use Honda Aircraft's HondaJet for charter and feeder flights at major travel hubs in North America and Europe. Honda will also provide ground support functions at a variety of ANA's transit locations.
