PUBLISHER’S NOTE 

For this quarter’s edition of Asian Sky Quarterly, there seems to be two 

stories unfolding. From our “Market Dynamics” section, we are seeing 

the market cheer as we move further and further into a seller’s territory 

with the percent of the fleet for sale decreasing and prices rising. But 

our “Mood & Intentions” survey highlights optimism flattening out and 

purchase intention subsequently diminishing. 

The latter first. Optimism has flatten out because frankly it couldn’t climb 

much higher. It has been on a constant rise since 2Q/3Q 2016 and now 

sits at around 90% for most areas in the Asia Pacific region. Optimism 

was also overall pulled down by a poor mood in the quarter from 

Australia which, as one can see from our “2017Q4 Economics” section, 

can be attributed to falling GDP. As to purchase intention, the changes 

have only been in the range of 1 – 3% (statistically insignificant?) which 

one could therefore simply cast off as being merely a “start of a new 

year” pause or fluctuation. 

lines, and sellers are hanging on to their aircraft longer waiting for that 

better deal i.e. days on market are rising. 

Another “right moment’ is the arrival of the Falcon 6X which is on 

the covers of this edition of Asian Sky Quarterly and featured as the 

“Upcoming Aircraft”. Falcon’s 2000 series of aircraft also gets our 

scrutiny in the “Pre-Owned Market Spotlight”. The “Country Profile” this 

time is of the Indochina region including Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar & 

Vietnam. And, as always, we are featuring a number of interviews, this 

time of Hironori Abe from Setouchi Holdings Inc, Violet Kwek from Global 

Jet Capital and ASG’s own Alan Hung. 

The reason I take such a flippant view of the “Mood & Intentions” 

this time is because of the former. As you can see from our “Market 

Dynamics” section everything seems to be going right at the moment. 

The over supply that existed in the market is getting burned down further 

now – good aircraft at good prices are selling – and with less supply, 

asking prices are firming up and even increasing. Consequently, we are 

moving deeper into seller’s territory, as seen from our “Market Trend” 

Sincerely, 

Jeffrey C. Lowe 

Managing Director, Asian Sky Group

FIND OUT WHY SMART BUSINESSES ARE 

TURNING TO OPERATING LEASES. 

找出为什么精明的商家正在转向经营租赁。 

An operating lease is a popular financing tool that can provide you with the benefits of a private aircraft 

without the traditional risks of aircraft ownership. There are several different options, but in each case you do not take 

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 

modest security deposit and return the aircraft at the end of the lease term to Global Jet Capital. 

You can choose to: 

· Enter into a sale and leaseback arrangement for your current aircraft 

· Identify a new or pre-owned aircraft for us to purchase 

· Assign your purchase contracts to us for your new, on-order aircraft

LEASING & LENDING SOLUTIONS FOR PRIVATE AIRCRAFT

2017Q4 ECONOMICS 

Australia 

Australia’s GDP growth slipped to 2.4 percent in Q4, falling from 

2.8 percent the previous quarter. The household sector, including 

consumption and income, were major drivers of the country’s GDP, while 

net exports — particularly in rural goods and tourism — contributed to 

the drag. 

Malaysia 

The Southeast Asian nation of Malaysia expanded at 5.9 percent 

in Q4, compared to 6.2 percent the previous quarter. Services, 

manufacturing and the agriculture sectors have been the greatest 

contributors on the production side, with all sectors posting growth 

except mining and quarrying. 

Mainland China 

China’s economy grew 6.9 percent in 2017, ending on a positive note. 

2017 topped the previous year when growth was 6.7 percent — the 

lowest in 26 years. An increase in consumer spending and a rebound 

in the property market added to the final quarter’s growth. Signals from 

2017 show the country’s growth is moving away from manufacturing 

and investment-led growth. 

Japan 

Japan’s economy ended 2017 on a weaker note because of negative 

contribution from net exports, a consequence of a surge in imports 

in Q4. Still, the country continued its streak of expansion for now the 

eighth consecutive quarter. Overall growth in the October-December 

quarter grew at 1.2 percent, revised up from a preliminary reading of 

1.0 percent growth. 

Hong Kong 

Growth in the final quarter of the year expanded 3.4 percent year-onyear 

(y/y), for a full-year growth of 3.8 percent up from 2.1 percent in 

2016. Growth in private consumption continued at a steady pace of 

6.3% on the back of a tight labor market and higher household incomes. 

Moving forward, Hong Kong’s growth will likely get a boost from this 

year’s expansionary state budget announced in February. 

Taiwan 

Strong domestic demand and solid export growth led Taiwan’s economy 

to expand at the fastest pace in nearly three years in the fourth quarter 

of 2017. GDP rose 3.3% annually in Q4, just above Q3’s 3.2% increase, 

attributed greatly to the island’s export-driven manufacturing. 

South Korea 

South Korea’s economy slowed in the fourth quarter of 2017, after 

reaching a nearly four-year high in Q3. Preliminary data showed a 

3.0 percent deceleration (y/y) in Q4, down from 3.8 percent in Q3. 

Overall, the economy expanded 3.1 percent in 2017, higher than 2.8 

percent in 2016. Fewer exports and weaker fixed investment slowed 

growth, while private and government consumption were positive. 

Thailand 

Thailand’s economy grew slower than expected in Q4, despite being 

its 15th consecutive quarter of growth. The economy expanded by 

4.0 percent (y/y) in the last quarter of 2017, driven by tourism and 

manufacturing. 

India 

India’s economy expanded 7.2 percent (y/y) in the last three months of 

2017. This was versus a revised growth of 6.5 percent in the previous 

quarter and the strongest growth rate since 2016 Q3, which is attributed 

to a rise in investments and an increase in public spending. 

Philippines 

The Philippine economy posted a 6.6 percent GDP growth in Q4, 

driving the economy to grow by 6.7 percent for the entire year of 2017. 

Manufacturing, trade, real estate, renting and business activities were 

the main drivers of growth in the fourth quarter. With the country’s 

projected population reaching 105.3 million in the fourth quarter of 

2017, per capita GDP and per capita GNI grew by 5.1 percent and 4.7 

percent, respectively. 

Indonesia 

Expanding 5.07 percent (y/y), Indonesia’s economy saw positive signs 

in 2017. This growth is the nation’s fastest full-year GDP growth figure 

since 2013. The 5.19 percent (y/y) growth for Q4 is also the best Q4 

GDP growth since 2013. Household consumption, which generally 

accounts for over half of the country’s economic growth, remained low 

with a 5 percent mark. 

Singapore 

Singapore’s economy expanded 3.6 percent in 2017, up from 2.4 

percent in 2016. The unemployment rate in the city-state declined, 

positively influencing household spending. The Q4 figure was below 

the previous quarter’s 5.5 percent growth.

Q1 

Signs of pessimistic feelings for the economy have emerged for the first 

time since 2016 Q3. This quarter, 52% of respondents believed that the 

economy has passed its low point and will improve, which is 4% less 

than the previous quarter. The number of respondents who believe the 

current economy is at its low point and will get better is 37%, 3% higher 

than the previous quarter. Alternatively, 11% of respondents believed 

that the economy has not reached its low point and will continue to get 

worse, a 1% increase from 2017Q4. 

In general, respondents who believe that the current economic situation 

has passed its low point or is at its low point can be described as 

optimistic. This quarter, 89% of respondents are optimistic that our 

economy will improve in the future – a 1% decrease from 2017 Q4 and 

the first decline since 2016 Q3. 

Central Asia (made up of mainly respondents from India & Pakistan) 

showed the highest optimistic level of 94%, while the average for this 

quarter was 89%. However, compared to last quarter, this represented 

a 6% decline. Greater China was lower than average again this quarter 

but still attained a new high of 88%. The optimistic level for Southeast 

and Northeast Asia increased by 1% to 92% compared to last quarter. 

Oceania, however, endured a 14% decline from the previous quarter, 

making it the least optimistic region in The Asia Pacific.

This quarter, 18% of respondents (-3% since last 

quarter, -15% since 2016 Q3) said their aircraft 

utilization had decreased, 63% of respondents 

said their aircraft utilization had increased, 

which is a 2% increase compared to last quarter 

and a 29% increase since 2015 Q4. 

* An Optimistic-Pessimistic Signal Line has 

been added to forecast aircraft usage trends 

for the Greater China, Oceania and South 

and East Asia regions. An optimistic mood is 

derived from more people indicating a ‘higher’ 

aircraft utilization than 12 months ago, and a 

pessimistic mood is derived from more people 

indicating ‘lower’ aircraft utilization than 12 

months ago. 

Greater China 

60% (same at 2017 Q4) of respondents 

indicated their aircraft utilization in 2018 Q1 

increased, with only 18% (21% at 2017 Q4) of 

the respondents stating their aircraft utilization 

was lower compared to 12 months ago. The 

total expected aircraft utilization continued to 

increase in 2018 Q1, thus the total utilization 

trend continue its upward slope into the 

optimistic zone. 

Oceania 

52% of respondents have indicated their aircraft 

utilization increased, 12% higher than 2017 

Q4. 30% of respondents believe their aircraft 

utilization decreased, 9% higher than 2017 Q4. 

Although the aircraft utilization in this region 

has continued to increase in 2018 Q1, the trend 

for improved aircraft utilization continues to 

decrease. 

Southeast and Northeast Asia 

In 2018 Q1, 61% of respondents recorded 

an increased use of their aircraft, which was 

the 4th consecutive quarter of the highest 

reading in the Asia Pacific region and 2% higher 

compared to 2017 Q4. Aircraft utilization in this 

area has been increasing since 2017 Q2.

EXPANDING ASG 

INTERVIEW WITH ALAN HUNG, 

ASIAN SKY GROUP DIRECTOR, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT 

Interview by Litalia Yoakum 

In 2018, Asian Sky Group expanded its team with the addition of Alan Hung, taking on the role 

of Director, Business Development. With over 10 years of experience in the industry, Alan will 

leverage his extensive experience, wide network and ambitious attitude in supporting ASG’s work 

in aircraft sales and acquisitions and consulting. 

Tell me about your aviation experience prior 

to joining Asian Sky Group (ASG)? 

My aviation journey began in 2001, when I went to Australia to study 

Aviation Management at the University of New South Wales Sydney. 

At that time, there was no formal Aviation Management course in 

Hong Kong. I knew there would be a lot of future opportunities within 

the aviation industry, particularly in China and throughout the Asia- 

Pacific region. However, in 2004, after I obtained my Bachelor of 

Aviation, there was a SARS epidemic in Hong Kong and a downturn 

in the global aviation industry. Considering both, it was a tough time 

to look for opportunities. 

In 2005, I started my first aviation job in Hong Kong, as an Aircraft 

Dispatch and Station Control Officer where I learned flight planning 

and other technical skills in commercial aviation. After about a year, 

the business aviation industry in Hong Kong began to develop. An 

opportunity came along to move into the Operations Department as a 

Flight Dispatcher. During my five years in Flight Operations, I worked 

on and dispatched aircraft for most of the major OEMs, including 

Boeing Business Jets, Gulfstream and Bombardier. 

I then decided to further develop my career and pursue a sales role, 

taking on the role of Sales and Key Account Manager and, later, moved 

to Aircraft Management Sales Manager. In 2015, I saw more demand 

for maintenance services. As our customer’s aircraft started to go out 

of warranty, I began to promote an independent maintenance program 

and to help customers better understand resale value. 

I now see great opportunities in helping customers buy and sell 

their aircraft. In early 2018, I joined ASG and now have the chance to 

assist clients with their business aviation needs, including aircraft 

sales and acquisitions. 

How has the industry evolved since you 

started out? 

The business jet fleet in Hong Kong has grown to over 130, while 

Mainland China’s has grown to approximately 345 business jets. With 

the growth of the fleet and more business jet movements in the region, 

several different industry segments have changed. 

10 years ago, there was no landing slot and parking limitation in 

the Hong Kong International Airport. Now, with the increase in 

movements, operators have difficulties obtaining slots and are faced 

with restrictions on landing and parking. This is due to the lack of 

slots, amid rising passenger traffic, but also the priority of commercial 

aviation over business aviation. On the maintenance side, things 

are much better than where they were 10 years ago. OEMs and 

maintenance providers are now looking at the Asia-Pacific region as a 

place to set-up their facilities. Bombardier opened their Tianjin facility 

in early 2017 and several other providers have targeted the region as 

the place to be. 

The industry has also seen many aircraft management companies 

pop up. Clients now have multiple choices, along with competitive 

pricing. What was considered an added value services before, such 

as maintenance services, charter brokerage services and aircraft 

brokerage, is now the standard, which reflects the clients changing 

and more mature attitude toward the market. 

In terms of aircraft sales, the pre-owned market has become more 

active. Typically, pre-owned aircraft don’t come with a warranty, which 

is now okay for buyers because maintenance providers are moving 

into the region making maintaining out of warranty aircraft more 

feasible and economical. 


INDUSTRY INSIDER 

You will be taking on the role of Director, 

Business Development. What area are you 

covering and what services are you offering 

to clients? 

As the new Director, Business Development, I will be offering a 

wide-range of services: assistance in aircraft transactions, aviation 

consulting and media and marketing solutions. I’m covering the Asia- 

Pacific region and strongly focusing on the Greater China market. 

What are some of the latest business jet 

trends you’ve seen Greater China? 

In the last 10 years, the market has quickly evolved. We are now 

seeing successful sales in the super-midsize and large cabin 

categories. When I started out, most customers were buying brand 

new aircraft, without financing. Owners are now more open to 

considering pre-owned business jets and they’re willing to finance 

through various means. 

Additionally, the industry — in Mainland China — is now supported by 

the Chinese Government’s aim to have over 500 general airports in 

the country in the next few years. With this, the demand for business 

aviation will be higher and the industry will see even more pre-owned 

activity and more financing options. 

Today, there is a lot of competition. The market will see the introduction 

of Gulfsteam’s G500 and G600 and has just witnessed the unveiling of 

the Falcon 6X. Offering long range and large cabin space, these aircraft 

will be very welcome in the Greater China region. 

How can ASG help potential clients looking to 

buy/sell an aircraft in this region? 

Collectively, the ASG team has a wide-range of professional experience 

in all facets of the industry. Our team is very international and can help 

clients in multiple languages, in any location, with any requirement. 

We also have great support from our shareholder companies Seacor, 

and Avion Pacific along with ASG’s strategic partner Avpro, whose own 

network and resources we often utilize. 

The market will see the 

introduction of Gulfsteam’s 

G500 and G600 and has just 

witnessed the unveiling of the 

Falcon 6X. Offering long ranges 

and large cabin space, these 

aircraft will be very welcome 

into Greater China. 

Asian Sky Media, ASG’s new media division focusing on publications 

and marketing services, has been resourceful for ASG’s aircraft 

sales and acquisition requirements too. Through its marketing 

services. we’re able to reach an extensive and precise database. 

ASG’s market intelligence, which is visible through the portfolio of 

Asian Sky Media’s reports, is another key factor in helping clients 

achieve their needs. When a request for an aircraft comes in, ASG’s 

team of analysts are soon hard at work, helping the client to fully 

understand the status of the market and the position of their aircraft 

in the market. 

What are you hoping to achieve in your new 

role with ASG? 

With the support of the ASG team, I hope we can bring the company’s 

service standards to the next level. ASG is already such a recognized 

company in the Asia-Pacific region, I hope to attain even more 

recognition and now on a global scale. 

On a personal level, I hope to successfully complete my first aircraft 

sales transaction in 2018. This is something I feel confident in, 

particularly after seeing the resources at hand within ASG. It’d also be 

great to assist companies looking to expand their presence into the 

region through our portfolio of media and marketing services.

INDOCHINA 

(VIETNAM, CAMBODIA, LAOS, MYANMAR) 

BUSINESS AVIATION PROFILE 

by Litalia Yoakum 

The Southeast Asian nations of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and 

Myanmar make up part of what is often referred to as Indochina, 

or the Indochina Peninsula. Each of these countries reflect cultural 

influences from their bordering neighbours of India and Mainland China, 

through language and cuisine, in addition to reflecting more Western 

influences stemming from European colonialism. While Mainland China is 

most often noted in the Asia-Pacific business aviation industry for its growth 

and potential, Indochina should be seen as a market of the future. 


COUNTRY PROFILE: INDOCHINA 

CAMBODIA 

Located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula, Cambodia 

has experienced rapid economic growth in the last decade, stimulated 

by tourism, construction, textiles and agriculture. While the country still 

faces several challenges to reach the economic status of its neighbors 

(Thailand and Vietnam), Cambodia’s aviation industry is being driven 

by rising tourism activities. 

Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism reported in 2016 that the sector 

generated US$3.4B of economic activity, supported by over five 

million international visitors. Tourism levels are expected to increase 

in coming years. The primary entry points into Cambodia are the 

country’s main international airports: Phnom Penh International, Siem 

Reap International and Sihanoukville International. 

Currently these airports are only dedicated to commercial aviation. 

Still, Cambodia is base to two business jets, both of which are operated 

by Tag Aviation and both of which are Gulfstreams, a G200 and a 

G450. Cambodia was home to a G550 in 2016, which later changed 

its based to the US. 

Like surrounding countries, the civil turbine helicopter fleet is much 

larger in Cambodia than its business jet fleet. At yearend 2017, there 

were nine helicopters in the country most of which were used in multimission 

roles. The single-engine is the most popular model, which is 

often utilized for charter and tourism purposes. 

LAOS 

As the only landlocked country of Southeast Asia, Laos is often 

overshadowed by its neighbors but still attracts a considerable number 

of tourists every year who are intrigued by its undeveloped landscape. 

While Laos is likely the least mature business aviation market in the 

Southeast Asia region with no business jets based in the country, there 

are still several outside operators that offer chartered flights in and 

Helicopter Fleet Age Distribution - Indochina* 

out. Facilities used are those shared with and more often utilized for 

commercial aviation. 

The lack of infrastructure in all sectors, including aviation and 

tourism, is at the root of the country’s underdevelopment. The Laos 

Government is now encouraging and attempting to attract FDIs, in 

hopes of further development. 

Similar to the rest of the region, Laos’ civil turbine helicopter fleet is 

more active with 10 helicopters. These are made up of mostly singleengine 

helicopters, used for charter and search and rescue. 

MYANMAR 

Formerly known as Burma, Myanmar is a country rich in natural 

resources. While it remains one of the poorest countries in Asia, 

Myanmar has initiated a series of economic reforms to attract foreign 

investment, which has the potential to trigger a demand for business 

aviation and supporting infrastructure. 

The country’s business jet fleet stands at zero. Myanmar was previously 

base to a Bombardier Challenger 800, operated by China-based aircraft 

management company Astro Air. The 800 has since relocated to China. 

Although there are currently no business jets based in the country, 

there has been an increased interest in travel to the country. 

Consequently, several companies offer charter services. Supporting 

charter in and out of Myanmar is Thailand-based MJets, which has an 

FBO located in Yangon — the country’s capital city. MJets Myanmar 

Business Aviation Centre (MMBAC) offers ground handling services 

and a private jet terminal, complete with onsite customs, immigration 

and quarantine services. 

Myanmar is much more active in the civil helicopter market. At yearend 

2017, Myanmar’s civil turbine helicopter fleet stood at 17, an increase 

of 21.4% from 2016. While the majority are used to support offshore oil 

and gas operations, a growing number are used in the multi-mission 

segment and for charter use.

VIETNAM 

Occupying the eastern portion of the Indochina Peninsula, Vietnam is 

the largest — in terms of population — of the four countries. With over 

96M inhabitants, the country also boasts the strongest economy, with 

much of its growth attributed to agriculture and manufacturing, while 

foreign direct investments (FDI) are picking up from multinational 

companies, as well as small to medium-sized enterprises.

Vietnam 

According to the Wealth Report 2017 — released by global property 

consultancy Knight Frank LLP — the number of ultra-high net worth 

individuals (UHNWIs), defined as those with wealth of at least 

US$30M, in Vietnam has increased by 320 percent since 2006; the 

fastest growth in the world. This is expected to increase even more 

by 2026, when the number of UHNWIs is forecast to be 540; a 170 

percent increase from that of today. 

The growing number of enterprises in the country, paired with its rising 

wealthy class, are now triggering an increase in travel. Statistics from 

the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam show air passenger traffic 

has risen immensely from 2015 to 2016. In 2016, passenger traffic 

reached more than 52 million, up 29% from 2015. Forecasts expect 

both international and domestic travel to grow. 

“While the number of airliner aircraft [and traffic] in a country doesn’t 

equate directly to the opportunities for business jet acquisitions 

[and activity], it does demonstrate an increased willingness of the 

population to travel and an increased level of disposable income 

for them to be able to do so,” says DHT Aviation, a Vietnam-based 

ground handler. 

“There are zero business jets owned or operated in the Vietnam 

currently,” explains DHT Aviation. “The country, however, operates 

business turboprops, with the current fleet including two Beechcraft 

King Airs.

COUNTRY PROFILE: INDOCHINA 

The country’s business aviation industry also faces the challenge of 

competing with commercial aviation, when it comes to infrastructure. 

DHT Aviation explains that parking slots and ground handling providers 

also work with commercial aircraft, with most resources going to 

those rather than business and/or general aviation. 

Additionally, there are no FBOs in Vietnam so if top government officials, 

or others require security and privacy, they need to utilise a VIP lounge 

in the terminal which would then be unavailable for other passengers. 

Operating a general aviation aircraft in Vietnam is equally as difficult. 

DHT Aviation cites licensing fees, ownership registration and 

approvals from the Ministry of National Defense, as challenges. As 

far as maintenance, operators and owners must seek maintenance 

providers in Hong Kong or Singapore for quality maintenance work. 

While Vietnam’s business jet fleet sits at zero, it’s civil turbine helicopter 

fleet is relatively active. With 31 civil helicopters as of yearend 2017, 

most active in Vietnam is for offshore oil and gas operations. The most 

popular size category in the country is the heavy-size, often used in 

the offshore segment. However, the country’s most popular model in 

2017 was Russian Helicopters’ medium-sized twin-turbine — the Mi-8. 

In both the helicopter and business jet segments, there is a lot of room 

to grow. The question stands as to how quickly this can happen. 

“We expect a slow growth from business aviation in Vietnam, as 

most Vietnam HNWIs do not eye foreign markets, but only domestic 

markets” says DHT Aviation. “This will prevent them from purchasing 

their own business jet, due to a limited travel demand.” 

DHT Aviation further explained the perception of a business jet within 

the country is still skewed, with many preferring not to attract public 

attention which a purchase would bring. 

Even with the market needing more information on the benefits of 

business aviation, the industry is still doing what it can to support 

future growth. DHT Aviation for instance is proposing a plan for 

a business jet-dedicated terminal and it foresees an increased in 

business jet charter to and from surrounding countries.

Dassault Falcon is the recognized global brand for Dassault business 

jets which are designed, manufactured and supported by Dassault 

Aviation and Dassault Falcon Jet Corp. Adding to its family of jets, the 

French manufacturer announced the addition of the Falcon 6X — the 

most spacious, advanced and versatile twinjet in business aviation — 

at the end of February 2018. The new 5,500NM jet will make its first 

flight in early 2021 and begin deliveries in 2022. 

The latest model replaces the Falcon 5X, a cancelled project due to 

delays in its Silvercrest engines. Powering the Falcon 6X is Pratt & 

Whitney Canada’s PurePower ® PW812D engines, capable of producing 

13,000-14,000 lbs of thrust. Equipped with a low maintenance 

single piece fan and emission reducing Talon combustor, the 

PurePower PW800 engines offer the highest efficiency, reliability and 

maintainability in the 10,000-20,000 lb class. Setting a new “green” 

engine standard for emissions, the engine’s low-noise design and 

low-vibration levels contribute to reducing cabin noise for a more 

comfortable passenger experience. 

With a maximum capability of flying directly from Beijing to San 

Francisco or Moscow to Singapore, the 6X has a top speed of Mach 

0.90 and a maximum range of 5,500NM. At its long-range cruise 

speed of Mach 0.85, the 6X can also connect Paris to Beijing or Los 

Angeles to London.

The Falcon 6X can now land with much more fuel than most competing 

aircraft, allowing operators to make short stops at interim airports 

without having to refuel. Additionally, the twinjet is certified for steep 

approaches attributed to its new generation and ultra-efficient wings, 

which optimize landing on short runways with difficult approaches. 

Dassault Aviation’s own in-house Design Studio. Significantly more 

natural light floods into the cabin thanks to 30 extra-large windows 

including a unique galley skylight – the first in business aviation – 

designed to provide additional brightness in an area usually devoid 

of natural light. 

With one of the largest cabins of its class, passengers can travel on 

the 6X in comfort and style. The aircraft’s cabin is six feet, six inches 

(1.98 m) high and 8 feet 6 inches (2.58 m) wide — the highest and 

widest cross section in a purpose-built business jet – and is nearly 40 

feet 8 inches (12.3 m) long. It can accommodate up to 16 passengers 

in three distinct lounge areas, with room for multiple configurations 

including a large entry way/crew rest area and a spacious rear lounge. 

Every element of the cabin’s design has been meticulously rethought, 

the result of an extensive survey of customer tastes and inputs from 

While the most attractive highlights of the 6X include its range and 

cabin size, 6X owners and operators can also enjoy the extensive global 

support network backed by Dassault Aviation. Reduced maintenance 

costs, thanks to Dassault’s FalconCare program, not only allows for 

budget predictability but provides extended maintenance intervals. 

With service centers on six continents, including authorized service 

facilities in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore, there is now 

more support than ever before.

SINGAPORE AIRSHOW 

ASIA’S LARGEST AEROSPACE AND 

DEFENCE SHOW 

The Singapore Airshow, deemed Asia’s largest aerospace and defence exhibitions, was 

held in early February at Singapore’s Changi Exhibition Centre. 

Connecting the global aviation industry, 1,062 companies from 50 

countries participated in this year’s event, featuring representatives 

from Airbus, Bell Helicopter, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer, Israel 

Aerospace Industries (IAI), Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, ST 

Engineering, Thales and UTC Aerospace Systems. 

“The biennial Singapore Airshow plays a vital role in supporting the 

aviation ecosystem in Singapore and Asia Pacific upon which so many 

skilled jobs depend on,” said ICF International Principal, Richard Brown. 

“It’s the place for current and potential customers and suppliers to 

meet, network, do business and evaluate new opportunities together. 

It’s also a great showcase for new technologies and important to 

encourage the next generation of aviation talent to seek employment 

in aviation. By focusing on next generation technologies, encouraging 

start-ups to exhibit for the first time and promoting the capabilities 

and offerings around Southeast Asia and beyond, the show provides a 

time-efficient way to develop new business.” 

2018 saw an increase in trade visitors, as well as 287 VIP delegations, 

with over 70 percent of exhibitors committing to a return in 2020. 

Making its unwavering commitment to the Asia-Pacific’s aviation 

industry, more than 100 companies were featured at the US pavilion, 

making it the largest US presence ever at the Singapore Airshow. 

The show concluded its trade segment (Feb 6-9) on an optimistic 

note, with strong commendations of the wide-range of opportunities 

to connect stakeholders, disruptive technologies to drive change and 

unique interaction platforms to shape the future. 

Strategic partnerships established at the Airshow saw discussions 

and showcases around digital data revolution to drive intelligence 

across the entire value-chain of the aviation industry. Examples 

include Airbus’ Skywise Predictive Maintenance Services enabling 

open aviation data platforms for full aircraft data and advanced 

predictive analytics and Rolls-Royce’s IntelligenceEngine, an allencompassing 

digital strategy which represents a paradigm shift in 

the way it designs, produces and supports propulsion systems. 

Bringing together ground-breaking aerospace and defence 

technologies, the What’s Next? showcase saw an in-depth exchange 

between start-ups pitching new technologies and innovations to 

potential investors. 


INDUSTRY EVENT 

With the rise of disruptive and innovative technologies, visitor 

experience was greatly enhanced at this year’s show. The use of 

innovative technologies allowed exhibitors to provide an immersive 

experience for visitors of all ages to engage and interact with the 

exhibits through 3-D simulations, virtual reality and augmented reality, 

in addition to the existing physical mock-ups. 

Visitors to the Airshow were treated to the exhilarating aerobatics 

of the flying display performances including those of the Republic 

of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)’s integrated aerial display team, 

comprising of an F-15SG, along with two F-16Cs fighter jets. Other 

displays included the Indonesia Air Force (TNI-AU) Jupiter Aerobatic 

Team’s KT-1B, the U.S. Air Force (USAF)’s F-16 and B-52 Stratofortress, 

the Sukhoi Su-30MKM from the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), 

and Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF)’s JAS-39 C/D Gripen, which made 

their first appearances in Singapore. 

Over at the Static Aircraft Display Area, visitors were given 

opportunities to get up-close and personal with the wide range of 

commercial and military aircraft. 

Over at the Static Aircraft 

Display Area, visitors were given 

opportunities to get up-close and 

personal with the wide range of 

commercial and military aircraft. 

The F-35B Lightning II — the world’s first supersonic short takeoff/ 

vertical landing (STOVL) stealth aircraft, made an appearance at an 

Airshow in Asia for the first time. There were also a range of business 

and commercial aircraft which appeared for the first time at an 

Airshow in Asia. Among them were the Gulfstream G500 and G600 

aircraft, Textron Aviation’s Cessna Citation Longitude, and Embraer’s 

fourth prototype of a next-generation narrow-body jet – the E-190 

E2 prototype. Nicknamed the “profit hunter”, the prototype features a 

tiger’s face painted on its nose in a nod to Embraer’s respect for Asia. 

Additionally, the HondaJet, the fastest, highest-flying, quietest, and most 

fuel-efficient jet in its class, made its debut at the Singapore Airshow. 

“We are heartened to see the overwhelming support and interest in 

the sixth edition of the Singapore Airshow, as it draws in exhibitors 

and visitors alike from all around the world. This goes to show that 

Singapore is an aviation hub not only to the industry, but also aviation 

fans around the globe,” said Mr Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director of 

Experia Events, organisers of Singapore Airshow. 

Singapore Airshow 2020 will be held from 11 to 16 February at Changi 

Exhibition Centre.

The above chart reflects where certain aircraft models are positioned 

in terms of supply and demand (based on a ratio of completed 

transactions compared to the number of sellers and the average 

number of days on the market for a transaction to take place). 

These indications do not necessarily mean that prices will be higher in 

the future, but it does indicate that sellers of these particular models 

are more likely to find willing buyers in a shorter period of time than the 

overall average. 

For some model types, given the market indicators shown on the 

previous page, the stabilization in pre-owned asking prices and 

decline in inventory level appear to have stimulated increased 

demand, leading to an increase in transactions and a more balanced 

state of supply and demand. 

This can be seen most with certain Gulfstream (G200, G450, G550, 

G650) and Bombardier models (Challenger 604/605 & Global 6000) 

where more transactions are occurring relative to the number for 

sale, and transactions are requiring less time on the market for 

sellers to complete.

The above chart provides a visual representation of the Supply / 

Demand Ratio of each aircraft model relative to the overall market, 

and is based on a ‘Marketability’ calculation for each particular model 

including the following four market indicators: 

1. The percentage of aircraft for sale relative to its fleet size. 

2. The number of aircraft sold relative to the average number for sale. 

3. The average days for sale relative to the overall market average. 

4. The momentum of the marketplace (represented by the trend 

towards supply and demand market equilibrium portrayed earlier). 

When taking into account these four factors, the Bombardier Challenger 

605, the Falcon 2000 class and the various Gulfstream models appear 

well positioned to find buyers available.

REVITALIZING CITIES 

WITH SEAPLANES 

INTERVIEW WITH HIRONORI ABE 

VICE PRESIDENT OF AVIATION COMPANY, 

SETOUCHI HOLDINGS INC. 


The Japanese prefecture of Hiroshima, located along the Seto Inland Sea, is known 

for its natural beauty made up of mountainous landscape, sprawling valleys and 

a vast coastline. Hiroshima’s rich history dates back for centuries, and is home 

to a fascinating culture. Over the years, however, the prefecture lost many of its local citizens to burgeoning outside regions. 

To revitalize Hiroshima, Japanese firm Setouchi Holdings — subsidiary of shipbuilding company Tsuneishi Group, stepped in. 

The company, started by Tsuneishi Group’s owner Katsushige Kambara, aimed to revive the prefecture through tourism and, 

consequently, through the introduction of Setouchi Seaplanes, bringing convenient transportation and infrastructure to an 

overlooked, yet picturesque, region. 

Setouchi Holdings is focused on aviation with three business 

segments — as owner of the US-based aircraft manufacturer Quest 

Aircraft (which builds the Kodiak 100), as a sales dealer for the Kodiak 

throughout much of the Asia-Pacific region, and as an operator of the 

Kodiak 100 seaplane by means of Setouchi Seaplanes. The Kodiak 

100 sits at the forefront of Setouchi Holdings’ plans to invigorate the 

Hiroshima prefecture. 

The Kodiak 100 is built in Sandpoint, Idaho in the northwestern 

region of the United States. Originally designed to be the ultimate 

humanitarian workhouse, the unique combination of robust 

construction and remarkable payload capability has resulted in many 

additional applications for the Kodiak, including float (amphibious 

and straight) operations, special missions, medevac, skydiving and 

more. The owner-flown segment continues to gain momentum 

as well, particularly in the North American marketplace. The 

Kodiak’s rugged aluminum construction combines superior STOL 

performance and high useful load. It offers proven turbine reliability 

with the Pratt & Whitney PT6 turbine engine, has the ability to land 

and take off from unimproved surfaces and is capable of working off 

floats without structural upgrades. The Kodiak can take off in under 

1,000 feet at its full gross takeoff weight of 7,255 lbs and climb at 

over 1,300 feet per minute. 

Setouchi Seaplanes, based at the Onomichi Floating Port in the city of 

Onomichi, has been operating this amphibious Kodiaks since August 

2016, making the Kodiak the first seaplane to be in service in Japan 

in over 50 years. To date, there are twelve Kodiak 100s in Japan, used 

for various missions. Due to the success of the amphibious aircraft, 

Setouchi Seaplanes has since targeted the Philippines. 


INDUSTRY INSIGHTS 

“We currently have one seaplane in the Philippines,” says Hironori 

Abe, Setouchi Holdings’ Vice President, who is leading the company’s 

expansion into the country. “We are working with a local partner who 

already has an air operator’s certificate (AOC). The main headquarter 

will be based in Manila, with additional operations in Battan, Subic 

and Palawan.” 

The geographic layout of the Philippines, home to over 7,000 islands, 

makes the seaplane an ideal aircraft. Abe expects tourism, cargo 

and passenger transport to be the main mission segments across 

the islands, which are currently faced with infrastructure difficulties, 

making transport challenging. 

In 2018, Setouchi Holdings will add maintenance capabilities to their 

repertoire. And, by 2019, it will be operating a training center for the 

Kodiak, continuing to focus on promoting the Kodiak within the Asia- 

Pacific region and Filipino community. 

Where we bring transportation, 

further infrastructure is also 

implemented. There will be the 

development of boats, hotels, 

and tourism, in general. 

“My projection is at least 10 to 15 aircraft in the next year in the 

Philippines,” says Abe. “The current single aircraft in country has a lot 

of usage and there is already infrastructure in place with numerous 

runway strips in the country, making this a feasible goal.” 

Outside of the Philippines, Setouchi Holdings Seaplanes has targeted 

the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India, as well as the growing Mainland 

China market. “In Mainland China, the Kodiak 100 is represented by 

a different dealer distributor. Still, there are about 10 to 12 seaplanes 

in the country, with growing interest in this aircraft.” 

The Kodiak 100’s efficiency and versatility, combined with low 

operating costs, has made it appealing to operators across the Asia- 

Pacific region. 

In each country Setouchi Holdings expands to, Abe hopes to 

help revitalize the area, just as it has done for Japan’s Hiroshima 

prefecture. “Aviation is not only aviation, but it is also transportation,” 

explains Abe. “Where we bring transportation, further infrastructure 

is also implemented. There will be the development of boats, hotels, 

and tourism, in general.” 

Having already accomplished a success story with seaplanes in 

Hiroshima, the future for Setouchi Holdings and its seaplanes 

looks bright.

PRE-OWNED MARKET SPOTLIGHT 

FALCON 2000 SERIES 

One of the most popular and successful Falcons to date is the Falcon 

2000 series, with more than 600 of the series in service today. Cost 

effective and capable, each variation has built on the original model’s 

many strengths. After entering the market in 1995, the series has 

evolved to include the Falcon 2000EX, DX, LX, S and LXS. 


PRE-OWNED SPOTLIGHT 

MODEL INTRODUCTION 

Theoriginal twin-engine 2000 introduced in 1995 is based on and 

slightly smaller than the three-engine Falcon 900, which itself was 

introduced in 1986. The 2000 offered a transcontinental range of 

3,000NM, powered by CFE738-1-1B turbofans. The 2000’s large cabin 

has remained the same throughout its evolution, maintaining a cabin 

volume of 1,024 cubic feet (excluding cockpit and baggage), a cabin 

length of 26.17ft, along with a height of 74 in and width of 92 in. 

In 2004, the 2000EX entered service powered by — what is now 

the standard engine in the series — the Pratt & Whitney PW308C 

turbofans. The EX’s range was slightly longer with a range of 3,900NM. 

Both the 2000 and its EX variant utilized Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 

avionics system. This system was upgraded with the addition of the 

2000EX EASy, which used Honeywell’s Enhanced Avionics System 

(EASy), allowing for improved navigation and communication. 

The 2000LX entered the market in 2007. Able to fly a max range 

of 4,000NM, this variant of the series has been highly successful 

and features the addition of blended winglets improving the aircraft’s 

performance by reducing drag, as well as lower emission engines. 

Just a year later, the DX variant entered service. With a reduced range 

of 3,425NM, the DX is often seen as a more cost-effective model for 

those not requiring the extra range of the LX. 

The 2000S and 2000LXS are the latest in the series to enter the 

market, as well as the only two still in production. The ‘S’ variant,

with a range of 3,350NM, is the first in the series with short-field and 

steep approach capability. It also features the EASy II flight deck, 

reducing pilot workload and automating or abbreviating tasks that 

are repetitive, stressful and distracting. The ‘LXS’ variant combines 

the features of the ‘S’ and the ‘LX’, pairing the long range of 4,000NM 

with short runway and steep approach capability.

Worldwide, the Falcon 2000 series fleet stands at just over 600. 

The earliest variation of the series (2000) has the largest fleet (230) 

and is, consequently, the most active in the pre-owned market. In 

March 2018, there were 17 available on the market, most of which 

are based in North America. The ‘LX’ has a significantly smaller fleet

Inventory levels have reduced drastically, 

particularly in the last quarter of 2017. The 

Falcon 2000, which in 2016 consistently 

saw around 12-14% of its worldwide fleet 

for sale, has decreased to about 11% of its 

fleet for sale at the end of 2017 and below 

8% in March 2018. The ‘LX’ fleet for sale 

saw the greatest decrease, falling to 2% of 

its worldwide fleet for sale. Overall supply of 

the ‘LX’, ‘S’ and ‘LXS’ reached a historic low at 

the end of 2017, although supply has since 

slightly increased.

PERCENTAGE FOR SALE - MAJOR MODELS 

In Q1 of 2018, the average asking price of the 

2000 model was approximately US$5.0M, 

slightly higher than the second half of 2017 

when a price decrease stimulated market 

activity, particularly in the US. Consequently 

the majority of transactions for the 2000 

model have taken place between US-based 

buyers and US-based sellers. Buyers can 

now expect a range of US$2.5M to US$6.5M, 

with the EX model trading at US$6.75M to 

US$7.5M. Demand for the 2000 and ‘EX’ 

favors the 1999 and newer models, along 

with a 10-passenger interior. The average 

asking price of the LX is US$14.6M, which 

is also an increase from lower prices in the 

second half 2017. Buyers can now expect a 

range of US$13.5M to US$19M.

BRINGING AVIATION AND 

FINANCING TOGETHER 

INTERVIEW WITH VIOLET KWEK, 

SALES DIRECTOR, GREATER CHINA AND NORTH ASIA 

GLOBAL JET CAPITAL 


In February 2017, Violet Kwek joined private aircraft financier Global Jet Capital as Sales Director, Greater China 

and North Asia, after years of experience in corporate and ship financing. Just one year in, Violet has led the team 

to close its first deals in North Asia, including an operating lease with a Hong Kong-based client. Global Jet Capital 

is now seeing an increased demand for financing, as the demand for business jets in the Asia-Pacific region grows. 

Tell me about your experience prior to joining 

Global Jet Capital? 

I started working in corporate finance in 2004 in Singapore. My career 

in transportation started in 2007 when I joined DVB Bank Singapore 

as an Associate in their Mergers and Acquisitions Shipping team. 

Subsequently I moved to the ship leasing team, structuring finance and 

operating leases to shipowners based in Southeast Asia and India. 

In January 2010, I joined Standard Chartered Bank’s Structured Finance 

team in Shipping as an Associate Director in Hong Kong where I built 

up the shipping debt and lease portfolio in China and Taiwan across a 

diverse range of clients spanning private enterprises, conglomerates to 

state-owned enterprises and Chinese leasing companies. I became an 

Executive Director in Shipping Finance in 2014 

My last role prior to joining Global Jet Capital was the Deputy Head of 

Shipping Finance and thereafter the Deputy Head of Corporate Banking 

in the Hong Kong branch of China Minsheng Banking Corporation. 

What are buyer’s options, in terms of financing? 

There are 3 main types of financing: 

• Loans; 

• Finance leases; and 

• Operating leases. 

When considering financing products and being able to obtain the 

financing, some of the key elements buyers should consider include: 

• Initial budget: The combination of 1) the down payment 

required from the buyer; 2) The upfront expenses in relation to 

the aircraft and its financing; and 3) asset under management 

requirements and/or any related cash security deposit. 

• Ongoing costs: The annual total cost of the loan/lease 

payments and the fixed and variable aircraft operating costs. 

• Maintenance programs: Many financiers will require the 

aircraft to be on at least engines and APU programs. Buyers 

should check whether a pre-owned aircraft is enrolled in these 

programs. Some aircraft owners who paid cash for their aircraft 

and subsequently wish to refinance their aircraft, may have to 

pay a significant buy-in fee to enrol in these programs as their 

aircraft gets older. 

• Residual risk on the aircraft: Buyers take the residual risk on 

an aircraft with a loan or a finance lease. So buyers need to 

consider if they want to take this residual risk on the aircraft or 

pass it on to a lessors like Global Jet Capital with an operating 

lease solution. In this way should the then market value of the 

aircraft be lower than its expected value at time of the sale 

when the owner wants to upgrade his/her aircraft, the risk of 

this price differential is passed on to the operating lessor. 



What are some of the benefits of financing? 

In general financing allows a buyer to utilise their funds more efficiently 

to maximise their returns, as typically the return on equity is much 

higher than the cost of financing. 

When a buyer is in a situation where he/she has a substantial amount 

of cash and have no better projects or products to invest in, then it may 

be more beneficial for such clients to go for a lower cost of financing 

such as a loan/finance lease or pay cash for their aircraft. Of course if 

such cash rich buyers want to manage the aircraft’s residual risk with 

no exposure to market fluctuations, they can always look for Global Jet 

Capital to provide operating lease solutions to transfer that residual risk 

to us. 

Other benefits of an operating lease solution for a business jet include: 

• Lower cash outlay: Given financing of up to 100% of the fair 

market value can be provided, the lessee typically only needs to 

fund the security deposit vs the 20-30% down payment required 

for a loan or finance lease typically. 

• Ease and flexibility on exit: Full flexibility to upgrade or exit with 

no aircraft to remarket at end of lease as there is no need for the 

owner to wait to sell the aircraft; 

• Predictable costs: Predictable lease and maintenance costs for 

precise budgeting as there are no bumpy cash outlays on the 

aircraft purchase and/or a loss on sale in book value on disposal 

of the aircraft. 

Why is it beneficial to use Global Jet Capital 

over a traditional bank? 

Different clients have different needs hence each client will require 

financing solutions that meets their needs and requirements. 

Some of the advantages of financing with Global Jet Capital include: 

• We may offer a higher financing loan-to-value ratio in respect to 

the aircraft’s fair market value. 

• As we are not a private bank, we do not require a minimum asset 

under management that a new client will need to deposit and/ 

or invest in wealth management products, though we will require 

a cash security deposit. As such the client has the flexibility 

to invest in any type of assets they want and/or invest in their 

businesses or family office which may generate higher returns. 

• We typically work with clients to understand their requirements 

and tailor a solution specific for them based on their requirements 

and their financial metrics. 

• We are one of the few if not the only financier in the Asia-Pacific 

region that offers operating leases on business jets, the benefits 

of which have had been mentioned earlier. 

For some Chinese clients, the advantages of financing with Global Jet 

Capital may be more pronounced as our financing products allow them 

utilise their precious offshore cash more effectively and efficiently for 

other investments and needs. 

The main disadvantage of an operating lease is that the lease is not 

easily terminated as the lessor has taken a view on the expected 

residual value at the end of the lease and, as such, priced the lease 

rate accordingly for the full lease term. A shorter lease term will entail 

a higher lease rate and therefore an early termination payment if this 

is the case. 

What are some common misconceptions 

surrounding aircraft financing? 

The most common one is the misconception that operating leases 

do not require guarantees. Even though aircraft financing is an asset 

based financing, all forms of financing require a counterparty who has 

adequate financial strength to maintain their financial obligations. The 

key difference between an operating lease and a finance lease or a loan 

is that the residual risk is borne by the lessor rather than the lessee/ 

borrower. A bank providing a property loan will also analyse whether a 

borrower has the adequate financial means to make his or her monthly 

repayments despite having the property mortgaged to them. 

As most aircraft are owned by special purpose vehicles with no assets 

or operations other than the aircraft, the aircraft lessor will require a 

guarantor to ensure the lease payments will be made, no different than 

a home loan. Just like banks providing home loans, they are in the 

business of providing financing, not leasing out residential apartments. 

Global Jet Capital is in the business of providing business jet financing, 

not leasing out business jets. 

Different clients have 

different needs hence each 

client will require financing 

solutions that meets their 

needs and requirements . 

What can be expected from Global Jet Capital 

over the next couple of years? 

For the North Asia region, we will continue to expand our presence in 

China and will look to develop our presence on other parts of North Asia 

such as Japan, Korea and Taiwan where we expect that our operating 

lease product may allow us to compete with the competitively priced 

traditional bank financings. 

We will also endeavour to provide a more diverse range of financing 

structures that is tailored and reflects the needs of the different 

geographical markets in line with our aim to deliver innovative solutions 

to our clients. 

www.globaljetcapital.com 

Another misconception is that as a non-bank financier, some clients 

may have the impression we do not require or have loose KYC (Know 

Your Customer), anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism checks. In 

this respect, we are no different and have such similar requirements as 

with any bank.
