Turboprop aircraft have the advantage of lower acquisition and operating costs than business jets, as well as faster speed and longer range than helicopters. In China, there are 250 turboprop aircraft, accounting for 14% of the total fixed-wing fleet. The multi-function aircraft is distributed evenly across the country. Major turboprop fleet provinces are Guangdong (13%), Heilongjiang (12%), Jiangsu (9%), Zhejiang (7%), Shaanxi (6%), Xinjiang (6%) and Inner Mongolia (6%). Adapted to local demand for different purposes, turboprop models differ from province to province. The Cessna 208 accounts for 64% of the Guangdong fleet due to its flexibility in configuration for different usage: agriculture, charter, science and sightseeing. It is often used as sea plane for transportation and sightseeing in China. The fleet in Heilongjiang, on the other hand, is specialized in agriculture and aero-survey with 70% of the fleet consisting of the Y-12. 50% of Jiangsu’s fleet are Pilatus PC-6s; Kodiak 100 follows with 32%. The PC-6 is used mainly for sightseeing in Jiangsu, while the Kodiak 100 is utilized as a multi-mission aircraft. 26 | CHINA GA REPORT 2017
FIXED-WING MARKET The top four OEM's Cessna, AVIC, Beechcraft and Pilatus account for 85% of the total fleet. Benefitting from having its own assembly line in China, Cessna has the largest turboprop fleet with 34% aircraft, all of which are Cessna 208s. The 208 airframes can be outfitted with several types of landing gear, allowing it to operate in a variety of environments. AVIC follows with 30% aircraft. 91% of the AVIC fleet are Y-12s, with remaining models including the MA60, MA600 and Y-7. Priced at almost half of the Y-12’s most comparable competitor — the Viking DHC-6- 400 Twin Otter the Y-12 is popular among remote provinces such as Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang for its large cabin volume and payload, travel distance and configuration capabilities. Rainmaking is one of the major ways to tackle draught issue in China. Over 15% (11) of Y-12s are configured with a rainmaking system, contributing to the 615 tons of artificial rain created in 2016. Beechcraft ranks third in total fleet, with 32 aircraft. The King Air 350 and C90GTi share nearly 90% of the Beechcraft market. Remaining models are the King Air B200 and Bonanza. Distribution of the King Air aircraft is clustered in more remote provinces such as Heilongjiang and Xinjiang. The first Chinaassembled King Air 350 joined the market in 2015, a joint venture by Textron and AVIC. The mission segment of King Airs includes multi-mission (42%), training (26%), aero-survey (13%) and charter (10%). Pilatus follows with 9% aircraft in total. Compared to other OEMs, the Pilatus fleet is clustered in several provinces with over half of the fleet (12) based in Jiangsu. Main missions of the Pilatus are sightseeing (50%), multi-mission segment (23%) and agriculture (18%).
