Bombardier announces Sojitz Corporation has placed an order for two aircraft

Bombardier (BDRBF) announced that Sojitz Corporation has placed an order for two aircraft: the high-performance Global 6500 and the soon-to-enter-service flagship Global 8000. The newly ordered aircraft will play a central role in Sojitz’s launch of the Share Jet Program, SJP – Japan’s first shared ownership program for large, ultra-long-range business jets capable of trans-Pacific flights. “This order reflects Sojitz Corporation’s confidence in our no-compromise and reliable Global family of aircraft, and the unrivalled cabin experience, performance and smooth flight they deliver,” said Eric Martel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bombardier. “The collaboration between our companies underscores a mutual dedication to advancing business aviation in Japan and Asia, connecting cities with greater speed and efficiency.”
