With 477 business jets as of December 2016, Greater<br />
<strong>China</strong> has evolved into the regional leader of business<br />
aviation. Over the last decade, an increasing number of<br />
large corporations and the growing number of HNWIs in Greater<br />
<strong>China</strong> have come to realize the value of business jets, resulting in<br />
the region operating 41% of the total Asia-Pacific fleet.<br />
To serve this rapidly-expanding fleet is no easy feat, requiring<br />
help from all angles. The Government and private companies are<br />
particularly interested in Beijing, which “accounts for 50% of all<br />
movements in <strong>China</strong>,” explained Million Air CEO Roger Woolsey, in<br />
an interview to Aviation International News. “There’s between 35<br />
and 50 corporate jets a day coming into the airport.”<br />
A planned new international airport — Beijing Daxing International<br />
Airport — is to cater to increasing traffic in the area. Expected to<br />
serve Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, the airport, to be complete in 2019,<br />
will free up capacity at current airports and provide considerable<br />
support to the business aviation industry.<br />
The new airport is part of the CAAC aim to have 74 new civil<br />
transport airports by 2020, which was outlined in <strong>China</strong>’s 13th<br />
Five-Year Plan (2016-2020). In the meantime, business aviation<br />
in <strong>China</strong> is served by four full-service FBOs: Beijing CJet, Shanghai<br />
Hawker Pacific Business Aviation Service Centre (Shanghai<br />
Hawker Pacific), Shenzhen Joyee FBO and Yitong Business<br />
Aviation Service Co. at the Guangzhou Baiyun International<br />
Airport, which is currently under construction with a completion<br />
date of year end 2017.<br />
Located at the Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, Shanghai Hawker<br />
Pacific is expanding with a second hangar, a VIP lounge<br />
and parking slots, along with plans for a full-service FBO at<br />
Pudong Airport.<br />
The new Yitong FBO, owned by the Guangdong Airport Authority,<br />
will feature a 88,000sqm parking apron, 20,000sqm of hangar<br />
space and a 5,800sqm business aviation terminal.<br />
<strong>China</strong>-based operator Deer Jet is an active participant in the FBO<br />
market, through ground handling, still requiring the use of an<br />
independent business aviation terminal and CIQ service. Zhuhai<br />
Jinwan Airport has also committed to providing a full-service FBO.<br />
Maintenance facilities for business jets are available in Beijing,<br />
Jinan, Shanghai, Tianjin, Xi’an and Zhuhai, as well as facilities for<br />
civil helicopters. In 2017, the Tianjin Airport Economic Area and<br />
Bombardier Business Aircraft opened one of the newest service<br />
centers in <strong>China</strong>, supporting the Global, Challenger 604, 605 and<br />
850 series.<br />
