II | ASIAN SKY QUARTERLY — THIRD QUARTER 2016
PUBLISHER’S NOTE<br />
This is the 4th edition of Asian Sky Quarterly which means we’ve been at this for<br />
a year now. And yes while it is interesting to look back at changes throughout<br />
the year in the somewhat dry economic data and market dynamics, the<br />
most interesting “look back” is the information found in ASG’s survey results.<br />
Fascinating, informative, surprising but also inexplicable at times – so it goes<br />
with people’s moods and intentions. The survey has been a great success. This<br />
quarter we had over 210 respondents, which was the highest to date and also a<br />
better geographical balance was achieved from across the Asia-Pacific region.<br />
Along with Moods & Intentions, all the regular sections – Economics and<br />
Market Dynamics -- are featured in this edition.<br />
We’ve had the opportunity to yet again sit down with some notable personalities<br />
in the industry. VistaJet’s Leona Qi spoke about the charter company’s unique<br />
business model and its plans to further expand. BBJ President, David Longridge<br />
provided some insight on the upcoming additions to the BBJ family, as well as<br />
BBJ’s success in the China market.<br />
Examining the changes over the 12 months since Issue 1 of Asian Sky Quarterly,<br />
it would seem the business aviation environment is getting worse: the mood<br />
in the Asia-Pacific region has gotten more pessimistic, as more people are<br />
feeling we are not yet at the low point of the current economic cycle; and, in all<br />
likelihood a direct consequence of this pessimism, as 2016 has progressed,<br />
aircraft utilizations have continued to decrease with the highest slow down<br />
occurring in China.<br />
As Japan goes through some trying economic times, we found it important to<br />
take a closer look at this market for this edition’s country profile. ASG spoke to<br />
a number of industry leaders in Japan, who provided us with an inside look at<br />
the industry and challenges it faces.<br />
As always, Asian Sky Quarterly aims to offer a better understanding of the<br />
market. Thank you to our readers and supporters.<br />
But then against this backdrop of ominous dark clouds and going against<br />
the grain, you have purchase intentions increasing quarter to quarter with<br />
respondents indicating this quarter the highest intent yet to purchase a new<br />
or pre-owned aircraft (28%/29%). Over the course of the year the percentage<br />
of “No / I’m not sure” has dropped 16% from 58% down to a new low of 43%.<br />
So on one hand increased pessimism but then on the other increased purchase<br />
intentions. The two are completely contradictory to one another. As said, there’s<br />
no explaining people’s moods and intentions sometimes. So, let’s ignore the<br />
bad mood and sell more airplanes.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Jeffrey C. Lowe<br />
Managing Director, Asian Sky Group<br />

ECONOMICS<br />
A still subdued external demand environment and fading policy pass-throughs are weighing on aggregate<br />
demand in Asia (ex-Japan). In the near-term, the growth trajectory will depend on the trend in external<br />
demand, and monetary and fiscal policy response, which will likely remain defensive in nature.<br />
Source: Morgan Stanley<br />
Australia<br />
Domestic demand remained weak, as the unwinding of the<br />
resources boom continued to weigh on the economy. The<br />
current setup of increased political uncertainty post elections<br />
and the move by one of the rating agencies to move Australia<br />
to a negative ratings watch has arguably increased the<br />
constraints for a fiscal policy response.<br />
China<br />
The combination of the fading impact of previous policy<br />
stimulus and no new incremental policy support in recent<br />
months has been weighing on the domestic trend. Fiscal<br />
spending and infrastructure investment growth have<br />
slowed down. Property investment growth, which had been<br />
one of the key drivers to the mini-cycle recovery, has also<br />
decelerated, as property sales growth has moderated due to<br />
the implementation of tightening measures in select cities<br />
with strong growth in property prices. Policy makers will likely<br />
implement defensive easing measures if growth continues to<br />
slow, but the pace of policy support is likely to be slower in the<br />
second half of the year, as compared to before.<br />
Hong Kong<br />
All growth indicators in Hong Kong paint a picture of persistent<br />
weakness in aggregate demand. Retail sales, property<br />
transactions, loan growth, and exports growth are still in the<br />
contractionary territory and in some cases for an extended<br />
period of time. Retail sales declined for the 16th consecutive<br />
month, a further indication of the broad-based, persistent<br />
slowdown in the Hong Kong economy.<br />
India<br />
Within domestic demand, two wheeler sales remain at robust<br />
levels and passenger car sales have rebounded in July. The<br />
pick-up in food prices over the last four months has meant<br />
that the transition to lower inflation has been delayed. In the<br />
last three months, the government has also embarked on a<br />
higher fiscal deficit.<br />
Indonesia<br />
Consumption-related indicators have shown some signs of<br />
stabilization recently, led by improving passenger car sales.<br />
The Bank of Indonesia has kept its policy rate unchanged after<br />
having cut it by a cumulative 100 basis points. No further rate<br />
cuts are expected from the central bank.<br />
Japan<br />
Weak wage growth, an uncertain global economic outlook<br />
and a strong yen limited growth in Japan. Businesses and<br />
consumers have been reluctant to spend, resulting in negative<br />
GDP numbers in five quarters over the past three years. The<br />
government has unveiled a 269B USD stimulus package, in an<br />
attempt to jumpstart the economy.<br />
Korea<br />
Passenger car sales contracted by 10% YOY, in July, after the<br />
expiration of tax benefits in June 2016, which has boosted<br />
car sales in the preceding months. Retail sales had improved<br />
further in the month, which was largely down to a favorable<br />
base of comparison. After cutting policy rates in June, the<br />
Bank of Korea has stayed on hold in its subsequent monetary<br />
policy meetings. The fiscal stance is likely to stay conservative,<br />
due to concerns stemming from aging demographics,<br />
particularly the weak financial position of pension funds as<br />
well as financial stability risks.<br />
Malaysia<br />
Export growth remained in the negative territory for the 21st<br />
consecutive month, which has displayed signs of sluggishness<br />
compared to earlier in the year. Overall domestic demand is<br />
still subdued and car sales have continued to contract. Capital<br />
goods imports have bounced back into positive territory but<br />
have slipped at the margin.<br />
Philippines<br />
The strong run of growth in domestic demand has continued<br />
almost unabated, as capital goods import growth stayed well<br />
above 50%, while passenger car sales continued to expand at<br />
a double-digit growth rate. Export growth remained negative<br />
for the 15th month and has slipped further at the margin.<br />
Singapore<br />
Most growth indicators continued to contract on a YoY basis,<br />
indicative of the cyclical and structural headwinds that the<br />
economy is facing. The sluggish global growth environment,<br />
coupled with headwinds to domestic demand, will continue to<br />
weigh on aggregate demand trends.<br />
Taiwan<br />
Consumption indicators including retail and auto sales have<br />
moderated, as subdued wage earnings growth continues<br />
to weigh on consumer demand. Recently, the government<br />
announced plans to boost investment through the provision<br />
of infrastructure support. These measures are expected to<br />
improve the domestic investment environment while enticing<br />
participation from the private sector.<br />
Thailand<br />
Growth within private consumption has held up relatively<br />
well, largely attributed to durable goods posting positive<br />
growth after a period of nearly three years. The economy has<br />
experienced a repeated pick up in the last couple months,<br />
but durability of this improvement in growth trajectory will be<br />
dependent on the policy response going forward, as well as<br />
external demand conditions.<br />

REGIONAL DIFFERENCES<br />
An Optimistic-Pessimistic Signal Line has<br />
been added to regional aircraft usage trend<br />
analyses for Greater China, Oceania and South<br />
& East Asia regions. An optimistic mood is<br />
derived from more people indicating a ‘higher’<br />
aircraft utilization than 12 months ago, and a<br />
pessimistic mood is derived from more people<br />
indicating a ‘lower’ aircraft utilization than 12<br />
months ago.<br />
Greater China<br />
Respondents believe that aircraft utilization is<br />
decreasing and the trend is worsening. Since<br />
2015 Q4, the total aircraft utilization has been<br />
decreasing, although there was a brief upturn<br />
in 2016 Q1. Eventually the total utilization trend<br />
has fallen into the pessimistic zone.<br />
Oceania<br />
Aircraft utilization in the Oceania region (mostly<br />
Australian respondents) began 2016 with a<br />
positive response and improved total aircraft<br />
utilization. However, after Q1 the signal line has<br />
dropped from the blue zone and fallen into the<br />
pessimistic area. Total aircraft utilization has<br />
been worsening and the trend sees continuing<br />
into 2016Q4.<br />
South and East Asia<br />
South and East Asia – Since 2015 Q4 aircraft<br />
utilization levels in South and East Asia have<br />
been rising and the signal line entered the blue<br />
zone briefly in 2016 Q2. After Q2 though, the<br />
aircraft utilization signal line exited the blue<br />
zone, and like other area in Asia Pacific, a<br />
pessimistic mood towards aircraft utilization<br />
reformed.<br />

Influencing Factors on Purchase Decision<br />
This quarter, we simplified the influencing factors into four major<br />
categories: Need, Business Activity, Aircraft Price and Public Image and<br />
found significant regional differences. In Greater China, what concerns<br />
aircraft buyers the most is public image because they worried that the<br />
government / public would still consider buying a jet as a display of wealth<br />
and social hierarchy, rather than an efficient means of transportation.<br />
Given this overriding concern it is noteworthy that according to the survey<br />
results Chinese buyers are the least sensitive to price when making a<br />
purchase decision. In Oceania, the actual need and the current aircraft<br />
price stands in the way when buyers are trying to make a purchase<br />
decision. However, buyers don’t need to worry about public image when<br />
purchasing an aircraft. In South & East Asia, buyers are not sensitive<br />
of the current economic downturn and they indeed have the need for a<br />
private aircraft, but they do have a concern about their public image when<br />
purchasing an aircraft. Taking Japan’s survey results as an example,<br />
like China, the public image is the factor they are most concerned with,<br />
while they are also sensitive to aircraft prices, when making a purchase<br />
decision.<br />

Looking for a true private aircraft operating<br />
Lease with no residuaL vaLue risk?<br />
An operating lease is a popular financing tool that can provide you with the benefits of a private aircraft<br />
without the traditional risks of aircraft ownership. There are several different options, but in each case you do not take<br />
ownership of the aircraft, but have the full use of it as if you did. Plus instead of a large down payment, you put down a more<br />
modest security deposit and return the aircraft at the end of the lease term to Global Jet Capital.<br />
You can choose to:<br />
· Enter into a sale and leaseback arrangement for your current aircraft<br />
· Identify a new or pre-owned aircraft for us to purchase<br />
· Assign your purchase contracts to us for your new, on-order aircraft<br />

CHANGE IS ON<br />
THE HORIZON<br />
by Litalia Yoakum<br />
AS THE WORLD’S THIRD LARGEST ECONOMY, the ‘Land of the Rising<br />
Sun’ aims to develop into a more welcoming country towards the<br />
general aviation industry. Like the economy, expansion within certain<br />
aspects of the industry is stagnant. However, the Pacific island nation is<br />
confident that change is on the horizon.<br />
Made up of over 6,000 islands — with four main islands: Hokkaido,<br />
Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu — Japan is considered a Great Power, with<br />
a strong work ethic, inclination toward technology, and governmentindustry<br />
cooperation, allowing the country to develop into an advanced<br />
society.<br />
In recent years, the country has been plagued with issues that have<br />
the potential to suppress the economy, if not managed. According to<br />
the Statistics Bureau of Japan, in 2015 the country’s population was<br />
127,110,000 — down by almost one million from five years earlier when<br />
the population was 128,057,352. The shrinking population is attributed<br />
to plummeting birthrates and an increasing amount of elderly citizens,<br />
with nearly one-third of the total population over 60 years old.<br />
The country’s economy has shown modest growth, as well as suffering<br />
a number of recessions. Government stimulus pushed the economy<br />
toward recovery, until the 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami<br />
that killed over 15,000 people. Japan has since attempted to get back on<br />
track, albeit slowly, with the help of Prime Minister Shinzō Abe’s reform<br />
package ‘Abenomics’.<br />
In early August, Japan’s Cabinet approved another economic stimulus<br />
package — totaling 28.1 trillion yen (276 Billion USD) — in an effort to<br />
once again improve the status of the economy. The package will focus<br />
on agriculture and tourism, as well as providing support for child and<br />
elder care to enable more women to work full-time. A large amount will<br />
also be set aside for infrastructure projects to help promote tourism –<br />
expanding ports for large cruise ships, upgrading airport facilities, and<br />
speeding up high-speed train project.<br />
Politics within the island remain challenging, as the Prime Minister<br />
calls for a debate on rewriting Japan’s pacifist constitution, including<br />
removing Article 9 —renouncing war — and creating a more conventional<br />
and defensive army. The debate, supported by conservatives within<br />
the country, has caused alarm in neighboring countries, as well as<br />
domestically. Emergence of a stronger military would undoubtedly<br />
impact the aviation industry, as an increased demand for pilots and<br />
aircraft would be necessary.<br />
A stronger military presence has added increased tension in relations<br />
with China. The two countries are currently working to dissolve territorial<br />
disputes over the Diaoyu Islands, in the East China Sea, as well as<br />
battling a long history of political disagreements.<br />
While the country works to get on track, the aviation sector strives<br />
to become more business aviation-friendly. The Ministry of Land,<br />
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) has worked toward<br />
accommodating business jets, particularly at the Tokyo International<br />
Airport, known as Haneda Airport. The Japan Business Aviation<br />
Association (JBAA), along with the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB),<br />
and MLIT continue to make efforts toward creating a more business<br />
aviation-friendly market.<br />
STATUS QUO<br />
While the country pushes to open its doors wider to the industry, data<br />
from ASG’s Business Jet Fleet Report shows the market has grown over<br />
the past few years.<br />
There are currently 53 business jets based in Japan, with 64% (34) of<br />
these in the long range and light categories and over half manufactured<br />
within the last 10 years. This is an increase since 2014, when the<br />
number of business jets based in the country was 44.<br />
According to the JCAB, overall business aviation movements (arrivals<br />
and departures) in Japan are on the rise, with a 2.2% increase per year<br />
from 2010-2014. Internationally, movement is also increasing, with a<br />
3.3% annual increase.<br />
“Business aircraft sales transactions in Japan are not increasing, but<br />
there are stable demands — especially for ultra-long range business jets<br />
and very light jets,” says Airbus Vice President of Business Development<br />
Japan, Shingo Ueda. “Inbound activities from foreign countries to Japan<br />
are increasing drastically in recent years, thanks to the expansion of<br />
Haneda airport’s capability for business jets.”<br />
Japan’s rotary market remains strong, with the third largest helicopter<br />
market in the region — 765 in total. The country’s geographic<br />
characteristics make it a natural place for helicopter operations. The<br />
Japanese fleet is dominated by medium-sized, light twin, and piston<br />
helicopters, at 77%, with the fleet involved primarily in multi-mission,<br />
EMS, law enforcement, and search and rescue (SAR) missions. The<br />
heavy and medium helicopter segments’ popularity in the country is<br />
attributed to the operational needs of para-public needs, often used by<br />
prefectural authorities.<br />
“The para-public and civil helicopter markets are very well matured. The<br />
number of JCAB-registered helicopters has remained stable for the last<br />
decade,” explains Japan Helicopter Society’s Toshiro Tamaki.<br />
Overall business<br />
aviation movements<br />
in Japan are on the<br />
rise, with a 2.2%<br />
increase per year<br />
from 2010-2014.<br />
INFRASTRUCTURE CHALLENGES<br />
The JBAA, along with JCAB, and MLIT, have made considerable<br />
improvements toward creating a more accessible business aviation<br />
environment.<br />
THIRD QUARTER 2016 — ASIAN SKY QUARTERLY | 13
COUNTRY PROFILE: JAPAN<br />
Created in 2013, MLIT set up the Council for International Development<br />
of Aviation Infrastructure “to promote aviation infrastructure business<br />
internationally through public-private collaborative initiative.”<br />
“Air transportation in Japan, including infrastructure, has been built<br />
mainly for commercial airlines,” says JBAA Managing Director & Secretary<br />
General, Makoto Tsunogae. “Most of the airports are designed and<br />
operated for commercial airliners, and in many aspects, regulations for<br />
airlines are applied to charter operations of small airplanes, which create<br />
a high cost structure for Japanese operators. In 2011, the government<br />
realized that business aviation is indispensable to draw the world<br />
economy into Japan. Since then, small but steady improvements have<br />
been made.”<br />
A great part of increased business aviation movement can be attributed<br />
to the improved accessibility at the Haneda airport — which opened<br />
the airport up to more parking spots and a dedicated traffic lane, in<br />
September 2014. During this same year, 70% of foreign visitors to Japan<br />
came through one of three major airports: Narita, Kansai, and Haneda.<br />
Again in April 2016, the increased accessibility toward business aviation<br />
aircraft, at the Haneda airport, was approved by the JCAB. The arrival<br />
and departure slots for business jets doubled from eight to 16 slots, per<br />
day. The Narita International Airport has also become more accessible<br />
toward business jets, after opening Premier Gate —Tokyo’s first dedicated<br />
business aviation terminal — in 2012. Narita International Airport, Chubu<br />
Centrair International Airport, and Nagoya International Airport also offer<br />
business aviation terminals.<br />
Although changes are being made, there is still a lot of work to be done, as<br />
Jet Aviation’s Senior VP & General Manager U.S. Aircraft Services, David<br />
Paddock explains: “The overall market is restrictive and doesn’t allow for<br />
natural growth for business aircraft. They are prioritizing available space<br />
at airports for passenger airlines and cargo airlines and not general<br />
aviation.”<br />
In reference to the doubling of slots at the Haneda airport, “For an airport<br />
the size of Haneda — in the city the size of Tokyo — whether you add<br />
eight parking slots, or 16 slots for business aircraft, it’s still relatively small,<br />
especially when you look at the size of the city.”<br />
Paddock when onto explain that the government needs to understand the<br />
benefit of business aviation, in order for more improvements to be made.<br />
As minimal changes have come about in recent years, the number of<br />
support facilities has increased. Throughout Japan there are countless<br />
FBOs and ground handlers however, there are only a few full-serviced<br />
FBOs including Kobe Air Center - HirataGakuen at the Kobe Airport and<br />
Fuji Dream Aviation Engineering Co., Ltd at Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport.<br />
These offer arrival and departure clearances — customs, immigration,<br />
and quarantine (CIQ), as well as ground handling services. Although<br />
Kobe provides full services, opening hours are limited and arrangements<br />
must be made weeks ahead of arrival.<br />
As Japan moves closer to the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and the<br />
2020 Summer Olympic/Paralympic Games, the JCAB and JBAA will<br />
continue to create initiatives to further facilitate the business aviation<br />
environment in Japan.<br />
EDUCATION<br />
In 2014, 70% of foreign<br />
visitors to Japan came<br />
through one of three<br />
major airports: Narita,<br />
Kansai, and Haneda.<br />
Since business aviation’s beginnings in Japan, the country’s values have<br />
led many to view the use of a private jet as an ‘obvious display of power<br />
and wealth’, according to Aviation Consultant Specialist, Jiro Kamimura.<br />

the country’s proximity to China, shopping and dining experiences, and<br />
modern, sophisticated culture.<br />

infrared sensors and supersonic speed capability — is being considered<br />
as the basis for a new fighter jet to replace the F-2, a decision will not be<br />
made until the end of March 2019.<br />
The issue is not only with cultural customs but with educating the<br />
market on the significance of business aviation and its potential to<br />
support the economy.<br />

nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international<br />
disputes.” The article would be replaced with one that calls for increased<br />
military support.<br />
Historically, general aviation has played a significant role in Japan.<br />
Government entities, including Prefectural Police Departments, Fire<br />
Departments, and the Japan Coast Guard utilize aircraft. Of the 765<br />
helicopters within the Japan fleet, 76% are used in multi-mission, EMS,<br />
law enforcement, and search and rescue (SAR) missions. Of the 53<br />
business jets within Japan, 46 are owned by government entities, with<br />
the remaining amount privately-owned.<br />
For general aviation, a change to the constitution could have a<br />
tremendous effect on the industry. An increased military presence, will<br />
likely bring a sudden need for pilots. This coming at a time when Asia<br />
faces a dire shortage of pilots and Japan, specifically, faces the added<br />
challenge of a shrinking population.<br />
Voting on the constitutional changes will require a two-thirds majority<br />
in both houses of parliament, as well as a majority of votes in a public<br />
referendum. Should Abe’s proposal go through, this will be the first<br />
amendment to the constitution since its adoption after Japan’s defeat<br />
in World War II.<br />
ROTARY MARKET<br />
With the third largest helicopter fleet in the region, the archipelago of<br />
Japan has proven to have a more developed helicopter market than<br />
the business jet segment. The 765 helicopters are used most often for<br />
prefectural authorities including Prefectural Police Departments, the<br />
Japan Coast Guard, and the National Police Agency.<br />
“Civil and para public helicopter markets are well matured, so the<br />
number of registration in JCAB has remained stable for the last decade,”<br />
says Japan Helicopter Society’s Toshiro Tamaki.<br />

COUNTRY PROFILE: JAPAN<br />
Although the fleet is one of the largest in the Asia-Pacific region, there is<br />
still growth that can be done.<br />
“The extension of operation/mission hours is one possibility to<br />
expanding the helicopter market,” continues Tamaki, who believes<br />
the use of instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) operations are<br />
needed to help expand the market.<br />
IMC is a flight category describing the weather conditions that require<br />
pilots to fly using the primary assistance of an instrument, under<br />
instrument flight rules (IFR). The typical conditions for pilots is flying<br />
under visual meteorological conditions (VMC), which are conditions in<br />
which there is sufficient visibility to fly the aircraft.<br />
The use of an instrument to aid in less than ideal weather conditions is<br />
now being planned by JCAB and its Collaborative Actions for Renovation<br />
of Air Traffic Systems (CARATS) initiative. The initiative is aimed at<br />
enhancing aircraft safety and improving operation efficiency, as well as<br />
combating increasing airspace traffic.<br />
MADE IN JAPAN<br />
In a time when automobile and consumer electronics manufacturers<br />
are moving out of one of the leading car making countries in the world,<br />
Japan is now seeking to save face with the aerospace industry.<br />
“The Japanese manufacturing industries will move out of Japan, where<br />
cheaper manufacturing costs are available,” says Aviation Consultant<br />
Specialist, Jiro Kamimura. “This is inevitable in any industrially matured<br />
nation.”<br />
The challenge now is to<br />
prove that the country<br />
can successfully enter<br />
into the aerospace<br />
industry.<br />
As the country strives to keep manufacturing jobs at home, The<br />
Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) — built by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation<br />
— is at the forefront of Japan’s entry into the industry. The nation’s first<br />
locally built passenger jet in 50 years, since the YS-11 turboprop made<br />
by Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Corp., is attempting to break through a<br />
market dominated by Embraer and Bombardier.<br />
Although the jet has been overrun by costs, delays and aborted tests,<br />
407 orders —including options and purchase rights — have already been<br />
received for the new aircraft.<br />
A ban on aircraft production (until 1952), during the occupation of<br />
Japan after World War II, kept Japan’s aerospace industry from taking<br />
off. This was a period that coincided with rapid growth within the<br />
industry. The country still became involved with production of military<br />
aircraft and subcontracting work, however was unsuccessful with its<br />
own endeavors. One of Japan’s strongest ties to the industry is its<br />
partnership with Boeing, of which the country was a major supplier for<br />
the Boeing 787.<br />
The challenge now is to prove that the country can successfully enter<br />
into the aerospace industry, despite its rocky history.<br />
FUTURE OF JAPAN BUSINESS AVIATION<br />
Although the business aviation environment in Japan has progressed,<br />
there are still a number of improvements to be made.<br />
“The most important issue on general aviation in Japan is that it is not<br />
well-recognized,” says Universal Aviation Japan Representative Director,<br />
Hiroshi Higashiyama. “An understanding by the public is important.<br />
If the market matures and develops, then the market should grow in<br />
the next 5-10 years. The key factors are the Rugby World Cup in 2019<br />
and the Olympic/Paralympic Games in 2020. These big events are the<br />
final straw to grow the market. However, we’ll need to [continue] to plot<br />
strategies even after these events for even further development.”<br />
“Competitive international environment, economic growth of developing<br />
countries, and a change in business decision making processes in Japan<br />
will bring steady growth to the business aviation market,” says JBAA’s<br />
Makoto Tsunogae. “However, most or part [of the fleet] will be overtaken<br />
by foreign-registered aircraft, unless cost structure of ownership and<br />
operations are changed.”<br />
The world will now wait and see what Japan has to offer once the Rugby<br />
World Cup and Olympic/Paralympic Games come around. For now, the<br />
right steps are being taken to improve the industry.<br />

UNDERSTANDING<br />
MARKET DYNAMICS<br />
Throughout the following pages, we have attempted to create a structure to analyse the market dynamics for the most<br />
prevalent business jets and civil helicopters models in the Asia Pacific region. We have analysed the most popular 26<br />
business jets and 16 civil helicopters operated in this region, with the hopes of tangibly understanding whether timing<br />
is appropriate for potential buyers and aircraft owners to purchase or sell an aircraft.<br />
MARKET INVENTORY<br />
This section describes the amount of aircraft (in USD) currently for sale<br />
on the market and shows the trend and activity level of such market.<br />
The Inventory Value Line represents the total number of aircraft (chosen<br />
models) for sale in US dollars, being the number of aircraft currently for<br />
sale on the market multiplied by their average asking price.<br />
The Trend Line represents the difference between the 12 and 6 months<br />
moving averages of the Inventory Value line, indicating whether the<br />
market momentum is performing better or worse. A rising Trend<br />
Line indicates that the market momentum is moving towards a<br />
seller’s market, while a declining Trend Line indicates that the market<br />
momentum is moving towards a buyer’s market.<br />
OFFER VS. DEMAND INDICATORS<br />
This section shows whether some aircraft models are in demand (no.<br />
of transactions) in contrast with current offer levels (how many are for<br />
sale). It also shows for how long each model has been available on the<br />
market for sale on average. Those measurements can provide essential<br />
insights into the marketability of certain models versus others.<br />
MARKET POSITIONING BY MODEL<br />
This chart presents the aggregates of four market indicators – relative<br />
supply, demand, attractiveness and market momentum – for each<br />
aircraft model analyzed in this report, in an attempt to qualify whether<br />
it is currently positioned in a buyer’s market, seller’s market or in a<br />
balanced offer & demand situation. The positioning of the last quarter<br />
is also shown to highlight the change and direction of any movement.<br />
The Signal Line measures the average market trend over a period of 3<br />
months. The signal line crossing above the trend lineindicates a possible<br />
recovery, while crossing below indicates a possible decline.<br />

In the 24 months up to August 2016, the value of the preowned<br />
business jets’ inventory for sale grew from $5.8<br />
billion to $7.9 billion USD – an increase of 35% – and now<br />
represents 10.2% of the entire fleet (chosen models) in<br />
numbers, suggesting a relative abundance of aircraft for<br />
sale.<br />
Since February 2016, the value of the pre-owned jet inventory<br />
for sale has stabilised, due to a combination of lowering<br />
asking prices and a recent halt in additional aircraft on offer.<br />
July and August 2016 were the only 2 consecutive months<br />
in 2 years where both aircraft prices and availability have<br />
decreased. With the average days on market now being<br />
near its highest in years (311 days), the business jet market<br />
trend still shows currently “Buyer’s Market” characteristics<br />
where prices are continuing to be driven lower and buyers<br />
have many options to choose from.<br />
There was an average of 20.8 pre-owned business jets<br />
sold per month over the last 12 months, decreasing from<br />
an average of 21.9 per month last quarter. With average<br />
asking prices falling at a higher rate (-8.5% per year) versus<br />
last quarter (-6.5% per year) and availability having stabilised<br />
around 390 jets for sale since last April, the business<br />
jet market in the coming quarters is now looking to return<br />
towards a healthier position where supply and demand are<br />
balanced.<br />

Average Days For Sale on Market<br />
The pre-owned business jet inventory value level since February 2016, the<br />
market is now heading towards a healthier and balanced offer/demand<br />
position. However, some models have significantly reduced their market<br />
offer/demand ratio (price inflation pressure) – such as the ACJ319,<br />
Falcon 7X, F900EX, G200 and G650. Conversely Increasing their market<br />
offer/demand ratio (price deflation pressure) were the CL604, Global 6000<br />
and Legacy 600/650, indicating either an increase in offer, a reduction in<br />
demand, or both. The average days for sale on market for the fleet has<br />
slightly increased from 312 to 326 days and is continuing to increase.<br />
Taking longer than average to sell are the ACJ318, BBJ, BBJ 2, CL850,<br />
Legacy 600, Falcon 2000S and F900EX/Easy models. Taking a lowerthan-average<br />
time to sell are the ACJ319, Challenger 604/605, Global<br />

The graphs above provide a visual representation of the ‘market<br />
position’ of each aircraft model analysed in this report relative to each<br />
other and to what could be considered as a balanced market demand<br />
and offer status according to four market indicators: the percentage<br />
of aircraft for sale relative to its fleet size, the number of aircraft sold<br />
relative to the average number for sale, the average days for sale on<br />
the market relative to all models’ average days on market, and the<br />
momentum of the marketplace, whether it is moving towards a buyer’s<br />
or seller’s market as a whole as portrayed earlier.<br />
every model is reaching towards a balanced position, except for the<br />
ACJ318 which still trails behind. From a buyer’s perspective therefore<br />
now is a timely opportunity to buy as the bottom of the market appears<br />
in sight and sellers are finally accepting lower prices. From a seller’s<br />
perspective, if the pre-owned business jet market reaches an offerdemand<br />
equilibrium within the following 1 or 2 quarters, asking prices<br />
may finally halt their descent and represent the end of the urgency to<br />
sell.<br />
Interestingly, most business jet models have continued to approach<br />
a healthier and more balanced market offer/demand position. Nearly<br />

In the 24 months up to August 2016, the value of the civil<br />
helicopter pre-owned inventory for sale has increased by<br />
59%, from 683M to 1087M USD, exhibiting the effects of a<br />
sudden change in December 2014 from a relatively stable<br />
situation before that time. With now 4.7% of the civil<br />
helicopter fleet for sale (16 chosen models), this market<br />
remains significantly depressed despite a recent stabilisation<br />
at around 200 aircraft for sale. Average asking prices have<br />
remained strong since April 2016 (+6.4% annual average)<br />
despite average days for sale on the market breaking a new<br />
high at 493 days. The number of aircraft sold per month has<br />
remained in line with the 12-month average of 6 helicopters<br />
per month.<br />
With the uncertainty of leasing helicopter fleets potentially<br />
becoming available on the market, it is still too early to<br />
predict whether the market will remain in a Buyer’s Market<br />
position, or if it will continue towards a balanced supply/offer<br />
situation.<br />

Average Days For Sale on Market<br />
The pre-owned civil helicopter inventory value for sale is indicating<br />
signs of a potential course reversal with the average offer-to-demand<br />
ratio coming down from 328% to 276%. Although prices themselves<br />
have yet to come down and transactions are flat and relatively stable.<br />
The S92A, AW109SP GN and EC135T2 models all currently enjoy more<br />
demand than number of aircraft on offer, however with average days for<br />
sale now having increased from 467 to 502 days for the fleet, sellers of<br />
lower demand models such as the Sikorsky S76C+/++, the Bell 412EP/<br />
HP, AW109E PWR, AS332L1, EC155B and H155 Will need to adjust their<br />
price downwards to complete a transaction. With 4.7% of the fleet for<br />
sale, a low but steady level of transactions from a stable inventory,<br />
little movement in prices and aircraft staying longer on the market, it is<br />
still unclear whether the civil helicopter market will remain in a Buyer’s<br />
Market position, or improve towards easier marketability.<br />

Uncharacteristically, helicopter average asking prices have not<br />
depreciated as one would have expected following a sudden increase<br />
of availability on the market, and sales have continued at the same<br />
average levels of 6 to 8 sales per month, although taking a much longer<br />
time to conclude. As the number of helicopters offered on the market<br />
has stabilised around 200 since March 2016, most models have now<br />
seen their position shift from a clear Buyer’s Market position towards a<br />
more balanced market territory. The S76C+, AW109E PWR, AS332L1,<br />
EC155B and H155 all remain in a Buyer’s Market situation, with the<br />

EXPANDING THE<br />
MARKET<br />
INTERVIEW WITH LEONA QI<br />
VISTAJET PRESIDENT OF NORTH ASIA<br />
Interview by Litalia Yoakum<br />
Launched in 2004, VistaJet has enjoyed the accolade of<br />
being deemed one of the world’s fastest growing private<br />
aviation companies – offering private jet services through its<br />
Flight Solutions Program and On-Demand solutions. The business<br />
model eliminates operational and residual value risks, factors often<br />
accompanying aircraft ownership. With the number of flights to Asia<br />
increasing by 62% and number of passengers to the region increasing by<br />
57% year-on-year, VistaJet is now looking to capitalize on this growing<br />
market.<br />
“We have a very unique business model,” says VistaJet President of<br />
North Asia, Leona Qi. “We own our entire fleet and the customer only<br />
really pays for the hours they’re in the air. Owning an aircraft comes with<br />
risks; VistaJet’s model eliminates that.”<br />
With over 65 aircraft to the company name, the VistaJet fleet is capable<br />
of taking clients almost anywhere they desire. “As long as it’s safe and<br />
the runway is long enough, we’ll fly our customers there,” explains Qi.<br />
The fleet, made up of large-cabin Bombardier Global and Challenger<br />
private jets, has an average age of just 18 months. Clients registered for<br />
the Flight Solutions Program have 24/7 guaranteed access to the fleet,<br />
anywhere in the world.<br />
Although the business model may suggest an inclination for programs<br />
over ownership, Qi affirms that VistaJet is not exclusively for those<br />
that don’t own an aircraft. “A lot of our customers are aircraft owners<br />
themselves, using VistaJet for supplemental hours or for longer<br />
distance. Our fleet is super medium to long range. If a client owns an<br />
aircraft in Asia with a maximum range of six hours and they want to go<br />
to the US or Europe, then they’d be more than happy to use an aircraft<br />
through VistaJet.”<br />
Currently, VistaJet covers about 90% of the globe with more established<br />
markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Russia. With flight traffic<br />
constantly increasing in Asia, the company is now focusing more attention<br />
on this market. “At VistaJet, we’re very excited about the Asia market –<br />
especially China,” says Qi. “Looking at the movements [in the region], we<br />
believe this market will continue to grow over the coming years.”<br />
“VistaJet is seeing some changes in the market, in terms of what<br />
businesses are demanding. We see a lot of businesses and individuals<br />
moving away from private ownership, because of the need for complete<br />
flexibility. This is where VistaJet can step in.”<br />
The subscription model offers a compelling proposition for the<br />
region’s growing number of high-net-worth-individuals, corporations,<br />
and entrepreneurs who value the time saving benefits of private flight<br />
without asset risk.<br />
Qi stresses the importance of tailor-made experiences onboard a<br />
VistaJet flight for maximum comfort and a home-like feeling. As for<br />
particular customer service within the Asia-Pacific region, VistaJet will<br />
continue to go above and beyond. “From the most basic, we have people<br />
that speak the languages of our clients -- from our customer service<br />
team to cabin hostesses on board. Catering is also something we take<br />
into consideration.” These are just a few of the smaller details that the<br />
company takes into consideration when preparing a flight for Asian<br />
clients.<br />
VistaJet joined the tech realm in March 2016, launching a VistaJet<br />
mobile application to make booking easy and convenient. “Customers<br />
can book a flight, along with other details on line,” explains Qi. “In our<br />
business, it’s important to have actual humans reply to customers, but in<br />
this day and age we do find a lot of customers appreciate the flexibility<br />
and convenience of a mobile app and online services.”<br />
With continued unmatched customer service and infinite accessibility<br />
to support services, VistaJet now looks to the future. “Our slogan is<br />
‘Think Global’. We want to provide our clients with global and consistent<br />
service. We are committed to offering the best.”<br />
The company’s commitment to its service is to continue to expand past<br />
the 90% of the globe it has already covered, as well as focusing on lessestablished<br />
markets. “The company launched in 2004 and we’ve come<br />
a long way over the last decade. In 2006, VistaJet traveled to about<br />
233 destinations carrying less than 5,000 passengers. In 2015, we<br />
have landed in close to 15,000 airports and about 37,000 passengers<br />
worldwide have traveled with us. Our growth has been quite steep over<br />
the past few years.” Asia is now a priority market for the company.<br />
“VistaJet has a lot of entrepreneurial spirit,” says Qi. “We’ve done a lot<br />
of growing and will continue to do so. In terms of business aviation, the<br />
best and the most competitive will continue to grow – and VistaJet is<br />
one of the best and most competitive.”<br />

THIRD QUARTER 2016 — ASIAN SKY QUARTERLY | 27
AIRCRAFT SPOTLIGHT<br />
BOEING BBJ<br />
Launched as a joint venture between Boeing and General Electric in<br />
1996, the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) was created in response to the<br />
demand for an airliner-sized business jet. Based on the 737 airliner<br />
— one of the best-selling commercial aircraft of all time — the BBJ is<br />
specially modified to provide for the private jet sector. The BBJ prides<br />
itself on a luxury configuration that comfortably fits up to 60 passengers<br />
and its long-range is often deemed a main selling point.
AIRCRAFT SPOTLIGHT<br />
The first and most popular aircraft of the series, the BBJ is based on<br />
the 737-700 airframe with the wing from the 737-800, which is very<br />
practical combination for corporate travelers. The BBJ offers plenty<br />
of space with a typical configuration consisting of four cabin areas: a<br />
boardroom, a lounge, a VIP bedroom, and business office. This aircraft<br />
is also a popular choice among government entities and corporations,<br />
which generally require a higher density configuration. Alternatively,<br />
privately owned BBJs typically have a more luxurious configuration,<br />
designed to carry only around 20 passengers. The ability to customize<br />
each BBJ is additionally a major selling point for the aircraft. The cabin<br />
volume for this aircraft is 5,396 cubic feet and can fly passengers up to<br />
6,235 nautical-miles, including nine auxiliary fuel tanks.<br />
After the worldwide success of the BBJ came the BBJ 2, offering even<br />
more cabin space than the BBJ, with a 21% increase in cabin volume.<br />
The airframe of the BBJ 2 is based off the Boeing 737-800 and it also<br />
offers an increased payload capability. It has the capacity for up to<br />
seven auxiliary fuel tanks and the BBJ 2 can fly 5,620 nautical-miles.<br />
The first delivery of a BBJ 2 was in 2001.<br />
In 2005, Boeing announced an even larger BBJ 3 that was produced<br />
a year later. The BBJ 3 is based off the 737-900ER and has 35% more<br />
cabin volume than the original BBJ. It is also 28 feet longer than the<br />
original and weighs 16,700 pounds more at takeoff. The BBJ 3 has up<br />
to eight auxiliary fuel tanks and a range of 5,495 nautical miles.<br />
The first edition of the BBJ series is the most popular of the three BBJ<br />
models — with 130 jets in the worldwide fleet. The BBJ 2, produced in<br />
2001, has a worldwide fleet size of 21 jets and the BBJ 3 has a fleet size<br />
of 6. Currently, there are 13 BBJs available on the market and 2 pending<br />
transactions. The 15 aircraft range in age from 1998 to 2011.<br />
The lowest asking price is 21.75M USD and the highest is 59.5M USD,<br />
with an average asking price of 41.7M USD. Two BBJ 2s are also<br />
available: a 2001 model, priced at 38.9M USD, and a 2012 model, priced<br />
at 95M. The average days spent on the market for the BBJ is 607 and<br />
529 days for the BBJ 2.<br />
Asking prices have slowly depreciated over the last year and a half.<br />
In September of 2015, the average asking price was 46M USD and in<br />
October of 2014, the average asking price was 50M USD. The biggest<br />
factor driving asking prices tends to be which completion facility did<br />
the cabin outfitting.<br />
When examining the overall fleet, there are 157 worldwide in operation<br />
with the majority of these based in the US, followed by Saudi Arabia,<br />
the United Arab Emirates, and China. Of those available for sale, six are<br />
based in the Middle East.<br />
Overall, the demand for large-cabin, long-range business jets is down<br />
from previous years, a decline that can be attributed to dropping prices<br />
in the oil industry and the strengthening of the US dollar against other<br />
currencies. While the market is down across the board, pre-owned BBJs<br />
still have increasing interest, particularly in greater China, where largecabin,<br />
long-range jets are favored.<br />
When comparing the BBJ family to comparable sized aircraft (ACJs,<br />
CL850, and Lineage 1000E), BBJ is leading the market. In the past 12<br />
months, eight BBJ 1s have been sold and one BBJ 2. This is exceptionally<br />
well, compared to the ACJ 319 which sold five, the Challenger 850 which<br />
sold five as well and the Lineage 1000/E which sold only two.<br />
The Max 7, the BBJ Max family member replacing the BBJ, formally<br />
launched in July 2016, will be ready for delivery in 2022. As the delivery<br />
date is too far out, the Max 7 is not expected to impact prices on the preowned<br />
market. However, a pre-owned BBJ is deemed an ideal interim<br />
aircraft for any of the new members of the BBJ Max family. So, it is likely<br />
that when the Max 8, Max 9 or Max 7 start deliveries, many owners will<br />
look to exit their pre-owned aircraft and enter the latest Max, expanding<br />
the pre-owned market even further.<br />
As prices continue to drop for older pre-owned BBJs, there is a<br />
corresponding increase in BBJ purchases indicating it is a buyer’s<br />
market. Prospective buyers now have the luxury to wait for the best<br />
opportunities.<br />

The graphs above show market value and trend indicators<br />
for the worldwide fleet of the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ)<br />
aircraft. The meanings of the Inventory Value, Trend Line<br />
and Signal Line are described in the Market Inventory<br />
section of this document on page 24.<br />
F2000s, F900DX/LX, G280 and G650ER. Nevertheless, it<br />
appears the BBJ’s market situation continues to display<br />
some balanced market characteristics, which should put<br />
any buyers or sellers at ease.<br />
Over the last 24 months up to August 2016, the value<br />
of the BBJ inventory for sale decreased from $683M to<br />
$584M USD, or -14.5%, suggesting a stable situation on the<br />
supply side. The demand side however, is still well below<br />
the average monthly offer, with only 5 sale transactions<br />
in the last 12 months, or 8 in the last 24 months. With<br />
the average of 607 days on the market for selling a BBJ<br />
being almost double the business jet fleet average of 326<br />
days, the BBJ (and BBJ 2) is one of the least transacted<br />
pre-owned aircraft in the past 12 months, joining other<br />
models such as the ACJ318/319, CL850, L650, L1000,<br />

AIRCRAFT SPOTLIGHT<br />
BBJ MAX 8/9<br />
The baseline models of the BBJ family — which consists of the<br />
BBJ 1, BBJ 2, and BBJ 3 — are now being improved by the latest<br />
generation, the BBJ MAX series. Launched in April 2014 — with<br />
an expected delivery of 2018 — the ultra-long range BBJ MAX 8 is the<br />
first member of the family.<br />
Based on the commercial airliner 737 MAX 8, the BBJ MAX 8 will take<br />
advantage of the efficiency of LEAP-1B engines and Boeing developed<br />
advanced technology winglets. The new engine and winglet provide<br />
a 13% fuel-burn improvement, which results in a 6,555 nautical mile<br />
range — an increase of more than 14% over the BBJ 2. The BBJ MAX<br />
8 has the same amount of cabin space as the BBJ 2 — 1,025 squarefeet<br />
(95.2 square-meter) and is equal length at 98 feet and 6 inches<br />
(30.02m). It also maintains the advantages of a lower cabin altitude,<br />
seen in the baseline BBJ models.<br />
To provide suitable ground clearance for the larger engines, the landing<br />
gear is lengthened so the aircraft will stand taller on the ground. The<br />
BBJ MAX 8 will employ fly-by-wire controls to the wing spoilers, as well<br />
as incorporate the addition of four 15.1 inch Rockwell Collins flight<br />
displays in the cockpit — the same displays that are on the Boeing<br />
787 Dreamliner. Maintenance on the BBJ MAX 8 will also be easier,<br />
because of its enhanced onboard network system and self-diagnostic<br />
capabilities.<br />
Following the launch of the BBJ MAX 8 comes the BBJ MAX 9, based<br />
on the 737 MAX 9 commercial airliner. It will be ready for delivery in<br />
2020. The BBJ MAX 9 has a range of 6,375nm and a cabin size of<br />
1,120 square-feet (104.05 square-meters), similar to that of a BBJ<br />
3. The length is also similar to the BBJ 3 at 107 feet and 2 inches<br />
(32.66m).<br />
Compared to the BBJ MAX 8, the BBJ MAX 9 has one additional<br />
auxiliary fuel tank (making eight in total), an increased length of 8<br />
feet 8 inches, a strengthened main landing gear and wing, and a two<br />
position tail skid. The BBJ MAX 9 also has an increased Maximum<br />
Take-Off Weight (MTOW) of 194,700 pounds, up from 181,200 pounds<br />
for the BBJ Max 8.<br />
The MAX program will continue to maintain the uncompromising<br />
cabin comfort of today’s BBJ, as well as providing increased range<br />
capability, an updated flight deck, lower noise, and reduced emissions.<br />
Buyers can also expect the BBJ MAX 7, which was announced at the<br />
Farnborough International Airshow in July 2016. Ready for deliver in<br />
2022, users will be impressed by a range of 7,000nm, 800nm more<br />
than the baseline BBJ.<br />
Since the launch of the MAX program, both the BBJ MAX 8 and BBJ<br />
MAX 9 have attracted plenty of attention from buyers. As of July 2016,<br />
Boeing Business Jets had 12 BBJ MAXs on order; 11 for the BBJ MAX<br />
8 model and one for the BBJ MAX 9.<br />

Q&A with David Longridge,<br />
BBJ President<br />
Interview by Litalia Yoakum<br />
With a growing market, the announcement of a new addition, and enthusiastic<br />
showings at business aviation shows across the globe, Boeing Business Jets<br />
has experienced an exciting few last years — in addition to marking its 20th<br />
anniversary this year for the popular jet series.<br />
The new BBJ Max family was launched in 2014, with the BBJ Max 8 which has a 6,555<br />
nautical mile range, more cabin space than a BBJ 2, and three times the cargo space. The<br />
BBJ Max 9 was launched just a year later, with a 6,375nm range. The newest member<br />
of the family, the BBJ Max 7, was announced at the 2016 Farnborough International<br />
Airshow. This ultra-long-range aircraft boasts an impressive 7,000nm range and is set to<br />
be launched in 2022.<br />
In the interim, the BBJ team is continuing to capitalize on the success of the BBJ family.<br />
David Longridge, a veteran of Boeing, is at the forefront of Boeing Business Jets as the<br />
President. Since 1996, 238 BBJ airplanes have been sold, including the BBJ, BBJ 777, BBJ<br />
787 and BBJ 747.<br />

INDUSTRY INSIDER<br />
What is the current outlook of business aviation in the<br />
Asia-Pacific region?<br />
It’s very healthy. We are very happy about how things are going for<br />
Boeing Business Jets. We have a total of 53 BBJs, including narrow and<br />
wide bodies, in the Asia-Pacific region. The bulk of these (38) are the BBJ<br />
family – based on the 737. There are three additional 737s that were<br />
sold outside of the BBJ framework. There have been four 787s sold, two<br />
777s sold, one 747-8 sold and five BBJ Max (our new variant) sold in the<br />
region. Overall, total sales are healthy for us.<br />
In service, there are 36 BBJs. 33 of them are from the BBJ family, two<br />
from the 737s, and one 787. Relative to the size and expense of a BBJ<br />
this size and price range, there is a lot of market activity.<br />
Is there one market that is more active than others?<br />
Greater China is definitely the most active market in this region. We have<br />
18 aircraft in service there, which amounts to 50% of the entire region’s<br />
in-service fleet. This includes the region’s first 787 BBJ. Of those 18<br />
currently in service, 14 of them have entered service since 2014. This<br />
is relatively recent.<br />
Greater China is also active, and doing particularly well, in the pre-owned<br />
market. In the last few months of 2015, five aircraft were sold to China<br />
and this year a few were sold, as well.<br />
Why is BBJ doing so well in the Greater China market?<br />
The number one reason this market prefers the BBJ is the product<br />
itself. Boeing Business Jets has the only aircraft that goes non-stop<br />
from Beijing to New York and back again – that’s the BBJ Max 8. The<br />
BBJ has about a 500nm range advantage over the next comparable<br />
business jet, which is an ACJ Neo. Aside from just the product, we offer<br />
a great product support organization and we have a dedicated field<br />
support representative in Beijing. We also have a fantastic sales force<br />
who really understand the Chinese market. It’s not just the product, but<br />
the team we have behind it; the BBJ team is enthusiastic, professional,<br />
and knowledgeable and the market is responding to this through sales.<br />
What are the main differences between the market in the<br />
Asia-Pacific region and the markets of North America<br />
and Europe?<br />
The biggest, most obvious difference for us between these markets is<br />
the pace of sales. China is by far Boeing Business Jets’ most active<br />
region. It is a knowledgeable customer base. And more so, the sheer size<br />
and pace of the market is outdoing other regions. Even when China’s<br />
economic growth is low, it still outpaces other regions. The distance<br />
that these customers are flying is often much longer than the distances<br />
of a customer in North America or Europe. This plays well into the BBJ<br />
market.<br />
What can the market expect from the latest BBJ addition<br />
— the BBJ Max 7?<br />
The BBJ Max 7, 8, 9 and the BBJ 787 is a killer lineup. We would love to<br />
sell more 747 and more 777, but looking at the market the 787 and the<br />
BBJ Max will be the foundation of the market going forward.<br />
Will the latest BBJ Max detract from the BBJ pre-owned<br />
market?<br />
No, not at all. One of the things that amazes me about this market<br />
is its sheer depth and size. If you look at Gulfstream or Bombardier,<br />
the pre-owned market hasn’t slowed them down and they have a lot<br />
more to contend with than we do. The percentage of pre-owned aircraft<br />
available, relative to our total fleet, is in line with that of our competitors,<br />
so we aren’t worried.<br />
A big segment of our market consists of new aircraft deals and there’s<br />
the other growing segment, which is the pre-owned market. A pre-owned<br />
aircraft is a great way to introduce people to what it’s like to fly an ultralarge<br />
business jet, if you’re moving up from, say a smaller jet. Some of<br />
these pre-owned BBJs are more financially within reach.<br />
We believe that once you’ve flown on an aircraft of this size, with a<br />
shower, a bedroom, office, and a dining room, then it’s difficult to go back<br />
to a smaller aircraft. Pre-owned aircraft are a great way of introducing<br />
new customers to flying in a Boeing aircraft.<br />
What can we expect from Boeing Business Jets in the<br />
coming years?<br />
In the ultra-large business jet range, we expect to see relatively stable<br />
and steady sales for the foreseeable future. This is not an enormous<br />
market, so we don’t expect the numbers that Gulfstream or Bombardier<br />
may have. However, we do expect to sell between 6-10 aircraft annually.<br />
Outside of sales, Boeing Business Jets has come a long way over the<br />
past few years. I worked for Boeing Business Jets in Western Europe 20<br />
years ago. This company has a far more global brand, product and sales<br />
team than it did at the beginning of BBJ. Now, we have a nicely balanced<br />
market, where we can sell steadily.<br />
Our product line will focus on the 737 max family and<br />
the 787. Probably more Max, but over time the 787 will<br />
still sell.<br />
We’ll continue to enhance our products. We are just putting the finishing<br />
touches on the upcoming Max 7, which will join the BBJ family. The 787<br />
continues to be a very exciting product for a specific part of the market<br />
place. As always, we will continue to market our aircraft and improve<br />
them — making them faster and more interesting. We’ll continue to<br />
stick to the perspective that when you buy an aircraft of this size, it’s<br />
all about putting what you want in the interior. We’re really pushing<br />
customization. Overall, we’ll continue to be a world leader in customer<br />
support, and provide that with enthusiasm and a knowledgeable team.<br />

The BBJ Max 7 — based on the 737-7 Max airliner — will be ready for<br />
deliveries in 2022. It will be six feet longer than a current BBJ. It’s a bit<br />
smaller than a BBJ 2, but bigger than a BBJ, with a 7,000nm range. It<br />
will have a lower cabin altitude feature, for a maximum cabin altitude of<br />
6,500 feet. It will also have the things in it that make the BBJ successful<br />
today, but it will fly further and be physically larger. This is a very exciting<br />
product and we believe this aircraft will sell very well.<br />
