It is likely that a quiet lounge in the corner of Japan's third largest airport was Carlos Ghosn’s last place before he fled the country and his conversion from a former CEO of Nissan to one of the most famous fugitives in the world.

The Turkish company, MNG, which operates the private plane that took Ghosn to Turkey and the other plane that took him to Beirut, said that Ghosn had traveled from Kansai International Airport in the city of Osaka, which means that he left from the small hall area that is used exclusively for private flights.

The company said that one of its employees forged the records so that Ghosn's name did not appear in the official documents.

"He must have crossed the place as a passenger and may have been disguised," said airport spokesman Kenji Takanishi.

Ghosn previously disguised when he was released on bail for the first time in March, when he left his detention center in disguise as a worker to avoid the media.

After arriving in Turkey, he did not fly and traveled to Lebanon, the country where he lived his childhood. His escape became the culmination of a story that shook the world auto industry.

Airport spokesman Takanishi said privacy is a major attraction for wealthy travelers in the "Tamayura Premium Gate" - a lightning moment - for private jet travelers.

Owners of private aircraft pay 200,000 yen ($ 1,850) for use of this terminal in Osaka, where standard procedures for people travel and shipping goods apply.

The bags that the x-ray machines do not accommodate are opened and inspected, which means that no bough has been smuggled in a container on the plane, Takanishi said.

The NHK said that immigration officials had no indication that Ghosn traveled with French, Lebanese and Brazilian passports.

"I think I would have known a branch if I had looked closely at him, but in reality we are not looking at people's faces," said a security guard in the private hall.

"It will be more difficult to determine if it is hidden or within a group."

An airport official, who also asked not to be named, said that airlines often use private security companies in Japan to conduct security checks and baggage checks, unlike other countries where security officials or military officials perform such tasks.

Outside the entrance to the hall, there is less than a hundred meters a parking place that allows a degree of privacy that passengers on commercial flights will not attain.
