  • Story Text: Japanese media reported on Friday (January 3) that former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn left Japan by taking a private jet out of Kansai International Airport in Osaka.
    Two sources close to Ghosn told Reuters that a private security firm oversaw his escape from Japan, which involved shuttling him out via a private jet to Istanbul before pushing onward to Beirut.
    An aviation source confirmed the flight was a Bombardier Global Express registered by MNG Jet Aerospace and that the departure time was 11:10 pm. Flight tracking data and sources revealed that a Bombardier Global Express left Kansai International Airport at 11:10 pm on Sunday (December 29) night bound for Istanbul.
    No one was seen entering the exclusive facility that leads to the private jet gate when a Reuters reporter visited the airport on Friday (January 3). The facility called "Tamayura" is located in terminal two and often used by business executives taking private jets.
