Airliner 29 (9%) Mid-Size 35 (10%)38+30+11+9+7+5+G Long Range 103 (31%) 330 With the economy taking off, China’s business jet market has flourished to become home to the largest business jet fleet in the Asia-Pacific region. China’s business jet fleet makes up 18% of the country’s fixedwing market with 330 aircraft. Gulfstream is the leading manufacturer with the most aircraft. Gulfstream’s 110 aircraft represent 33% of the total fleet; followed by Bombardier and Dassault, with 88 aircraft (27%) and 36 aircraft (11%) respectively. Commercial airline manufacturers — Airbus and Boeing — seem to have less of an advantage in the country’s business jet market. There are 15 Airbus corporate jets (5%) in China, while Boeing has an smaller market share, with 10 aircraft (3%) in the market. Business Jet by Registration Isle of Man 10 (3%) Others 8 (2%) Cayman Islands 11 (3%) United States 45 (14%) 78+14+3+3+2+G 330 China 256 (78%) Choice of registration country is influenced by regulations: foreign-registered aircraft are bound by stricter restrictions. For example, some maintenance services are available to Chinaregistered jets only, which makes the China B registration preferred. Out of the entire fleet, 78% (256) are Chinaregistered, while US-registered jets account for 14% (45). In terms of registration country popularity, Cayman Islands and Isle of Man follow, having 11 and 10 China-operated aircraft registered under the two countries respectively. Large business jets are the most favored in the China market, holding 38% of the market with 124 aircraft. Long-range jets follows, with 103 aircraft (31%). Mid-size aircraft have a market share that is much lower than that of the large and long-range aircraft, it ranks third place with 11% (35). Combined, these three sizes represent almost 80% of the jet market. 20 | CHINA GA REPORT 2017
FIXED-WING MARKET Despite the popularity of large aircraft, the long-range Gulfstream G550 has a leading share of 14%, with 46 aircraft. 40 G450s — large aircraft— take up 12% of the market. The long-range Dassault Falcon 7X ranks third with 27 aircraft (8%). Of all the G550s in the country, 23 (50%) are run by operators in Beijing; while Guangdong and Shanghai each has eight. Combined, these three cities hold 85% of the country’s G550 fleet. In general, the acquisition cost of a business jet is higher than other fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Jets, however, have a shorter life span, which contributes to jets having the youngest fleet among all GA aircraft types. A newly-delivered aircraft generally has an in-service period of 10 years, with owners often considering selling the existing model for a newer model. With benefits from economic reform and loosening of restrictions, the China business jet market has been open for around 20 years, which further explains the country’s young fleet. In China, approximately 65% of the jets were manufactured during or after 2010. The 2013 manufacturing year produced the greatest number, with 49. place, with 56 aircraft (17%). Shanghai, an emerging international financial center in China, placed third with the operation of 43 aircraft (13%). Mainland-based Deer Jet is currently the top operator in China, operating 50 aircraft. G450 and G550 still make up most of the company’s fleet, with respectively 12 and 18. Other models, such as the Falcon 7X, G650 and BBJ, constitute a small portion of the fleet. Shenzhen-headquartered Business Aviation Asia (BAA) set up branches in major cities, including Hong Kong and Shanghai with a 46-aircraft fleet. Models such as the Legacy 650, Global 6000 50 40 Business Jet by Age With cost and age limitations, business jets are typically utilized in charter business, or non-commercial uses by companies in China. The distribution of jets, therefore, concentrates in first-tier cities, including Beijing, which is a business-jet hub. Along with being the top location for the G550, the province operates 111 jets, which represents 34% of the country’s fleet. Beijing builds its fleet scale by having the most Gulfstream and Bombardier aircraft in the country, with 41% and 33% of the respective fleet operating in the province.
