PUBLISHER’S NOTE<br />
Just in time for the premier business aviation event in Asia (ABACE), Asian Sky<br />
Group is releasing our annual year end <strong>2016</strong> Asia Pacific <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Jet</strong> <strong>Fleet</strong> <strong>Report</strong>.<br />
The fifth installment of this report produces all the expected information, with<br />
a fleet breakdown by country, size and OEM. Readers will see which countries<br />
saw the most growth and which countries suffered declines, as well as which<br />
manufacturers performed best and which size categories were the most popular.<br />
The structure of the report changes a bit though in that specific country reports will now only be available online, where they<br />
can be viewed or downloaded, and are not published in the printed edition of the report.<br />
However, with Greater China being the largest market in the region, we’ve dedicated a special section to it in this report,<br />
offering analysis of what happened throughout the year and forecasts of what’s to come. Although there was only minimal<br />
growth in the Greater China market this year, the Chinese Government has committed to investing in the industry, a<br />
promising outlook for the future.<br />
ASG also had the chance to profile the newly-appointed CEO and President of Embraer Executive <strong>Jet</strong>s, Michael Amalfitano<br />
— his first interview since joining the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer. Additionally, Marubeni Aerospace’s Assistant General<br />
Manager Chie Matsuoka discussed the company’s services and collaborations, aimed at developing Japan’s business<br />
aviation market.<br />
Coinciding with the release of our Asia Pacific <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Jet</strong> <strong>Fleet</strong> <strong>Report</strong> is the unveiling of ASG’s newest branch: Asian<br />
Sky Media. What started out as a single report — the 2012 China <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Jet</strong> <strong>Fleet</strong> <strong>Report</strong> — has grown into a collection<br />
of publications. The dedicated branch will exclusively focus on our growing portfolio, featuring all reports, magazines and<br />
media on a new website: www.asianskymedia.com. Now readers can easily access all our publications and find country<br />
data at the click of a button.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Jeffrey C. Lowe<br />
Managing Director, Asian Sky Group<br />
