BOMBARDIER CELEBRATES TWO-AIRCRAFT ORDER FROM SOJITZ CORPORATION, STRENGTHENING TRANS-PACIFIC BUSINESS AVIATION IN ASIA

Sojitz Corp. has placed an order for two aircraft from Bombardier Inc.: 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, ultralong-range business jets capable of trans-Pacific flights.

• Sojitz, a general trading company known as one of the leading jet providers in Japan, has placed an order for a Bombardier Global 6500 and a Global 8000 aircraft.
• The aircraft will serve as the foundation for Sojitz's first large business-jet shared-ownership program, capable of trans-Pacific operations, to be launched as the Share Jet Program (SJP) across Japan and Asia.
• With this order, Sojitz will take delivery of the fastest jet in the world: the Bombardier Global 8000 aircraft. Set to enter into service before the end of the year, the flagship aircraft also boasts industry-leading landing capabilities and the longest range of any four-zone aircraft.
• Through this agreement, Bombardier continues to expand its presence in Japan, a growing market for the company.

"This order reflects Sojitz Corp.'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."

"Our decision to select the Global 6500 and the Global 8000 was driven by our extensive experience operating Bombardier aircraft in Japan," said Yohei Sakurai, general manager, business jet department, of Sojitz. "These aircraft have demonstrated exceptional reliability in our fleet, while Bombardier's wide range of services and customer support consistently exceeds that of competitors in our experience. Their proven aircraft platforms and quality of service make them the ideal foundation for launching Japan's first large-jet shared-ownership program."

SJP's new aircraft feature one-of-a-kind, bespoke interiors, designed exclusively to reflect the unique vision and elevated standards of the company. Every element -- from layout to materials -- was carefully curated to deliver an unparalleled experience. Bombardier's deep expertise in cabin design and craftsmanship brought this vision to life. These interiors showcase Bombardier's ability to execute with precision and artistry, perfectly aligning with SJP's commitment to excellence.

Building on this foundation of excellence, the Bombardier Global 8000 aircraft redefines the passenger experience with an exceptionally quiet cabin, offering a tranquil environment that enhances productivity and relaxation. Its advanced engineering delivers not only top speed and range, but the full package: comfort, innovation and performance. As the fastest business jet in the world, the Bombardier Global 8000 sets a new standard in the industry -- combining record-breaking speed, the longest range in its class and industry-leading landing capabilities -- further reinforcing Bombardier's position as a leader in delivering truly elevated, customer-centric aircraft.

Complementing this flagship offering, the Bombardier Global 6500 delivers the smoothest ride and refined comfort, making it an ideal choice for operators seeking reliability and elegance. Its advanced wing design and engineering contribute to a seamless travel experience for every type of mission. Both aircraft exemplify Bombardier's commitment to delivering superior flight experiences that elevate every journey.
