Private jet? xD
 

Private jets have become nearly a staple of the extraordinarily rich in the US, but I don't think Ayu has one...right?
It seems like she takes more or less public transportation to get around Asia etc., but I was just wondering about private vacations she takes with her staff, etc. Probably not. :P

She most likely "borrows" the jets she's been seen using, a company the size of Avex for one most likely has a group of jets for their execs, but I'm pretty sure she knows people who have them too.

But as you said, she uses public transportation most of the time.

I don't think she needs one...she rarely travels that far. It's obvious that she can afford it....but why? What's the point?

I don't think Ayu has a jet of her own as zoomzoom pointed out. However, she probably has the ability to freely use one of avex's jets.

For example, remember when she got married? IIRC, they took a private jet straight to LA after CDL.

i remember watching on the making off videos that she normally takes a commercial jet but always in the first class cabin

yeah, i thought she pretty much always took commercial first class, thats how fans knew sometimes where she would be since they could check flight schedules.

and around the time she was travelling with mannie, i remember people talking about the airlines she was using.

Yeah, and some people were able to spot her exiting the gates~

^ How does she manage that without being mobbed/bothered on the plane?

i think she always borrows avex's executives' jets when she travels far.. max matsuura's jet for most of the time i guess.. so she doesn't need to have one for her own~

in any case i think she should use it more often in order to amortize the cost, it's not worthy

ayu doesn't have her own jet because why buy when she can just borrow anybody's anytime..though she can afford it, she's saving money for the future retirement purposes I guess... :)
