EDITOR’S NOTE<br />

How do you measure the success of a<br />

new business event? One way to do it<br />

could be to count the attendees and<br />

how engaged they were. Or, before the<br />

event ends you could hand out surveys<br />

asking people for their opinions. Whilst<br />

both ways have their merits, the only real<br />

way you can measure how successful a<br />

business event was, is to see how much<br />

business was actually done there.<br />

It would be fair to say that the very first <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group Virtual<br />

Exhibition & Conference (ASGVEC) got off to a pretty rocky start.<br />

Within the first few minutes of the event starting, almost 1,000 people<br />

tried to simultaneously login to the system. This unfortunately caused<br />

the servers to crash, and people were unable to login. That night, we<br />

worked alongside our partners to fix the issues and roll out a new<br />

version of the platform, and by the start of Day 2, almost all of the<br />

issues were ironed out.<br />

One of the questions asked about business opportunities during<br />

the event. After cleansing the data, we found out that five different<br />

companies said that they would conclude a deal because of the event.<br />

On top of that, one OEM said it was in active discussions with two<br />

sales prospects they met during ASGVEC, with one being particularly<br />

impressed with how the OEM was embracing new technology by being<br />

an exhibitor at the event.<br />

For any event, let alone the first time an event has been run, that is an<br />

impressive number of deals. You can read more about the event by<br />

checking out our special feature on page 44.<br />

The big feature this issue is an interview with Charles Fabrikant. Often<br />

spoken about in the same breath as Warren Buffett, Charles is perhaps<br />

most known in the shipping industry with his SEACOR company. He<br />

has however served on the board of some of the biggest helicopter<br />

operators around the world and is part owner of <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group and<br />

<strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Media.<br />

That does not mean that Day 1 was a failure. Walking virtually through<br />

the exhibition halls late in the evening very much resembled the end<br />

of day scenes at an ABACE, EBACE or NBAA, with booth parties, and<br />

people hanging out talking to each other. And that’s exactly what the<br />

main purpose of ASGVEC was – to connect people virtually in a way<br />

that felt natural and comfortable.<br />

Days 2 and 3 were much smoother, barring some unfortunate<br />

sound issues. The conference session that closed the event was<br />

appropriately enough about using technology, including 3D virtual<br />

technology, in business aviation.<br />

But, back to that question at the beginning: How successful was the<br />

event? Well, shortly after the event finished, we sent out a survey<br />

to all attendees, asking for feedback. The survey itself was fairly<br />

straight forward and asked a series of questions about any issues the<br />

attendees had, and other questions about what times the event was<br />

held etc (If you attended the event then you will have been emailed the<br />

results from the survey).<br />

Elsewhere in this issue Asia’s biggest operator Sino Jet talks us<br />

through the difficulties and challenges that it, and other operators, face<br />

whilst taking delivery of a new airplane during the COVID-19 pandemic,<br />

and Metrojet Engineering Clark gives us all the details and pictures of<br />

its newly inaugurated maintenance hangar and associated facilities in<br />

the Philippines. IADA, the International Aircraft Dealers Association,<br />

celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, and talks us thorough its<br />

journey from formation through to today, whilst our aircraft spotlight<br />

focused on the upcoming Dassault Falcon 6X.<br />

Rounding off this edition is all of the usual hard data and intel that you<br />

have come to rely on us for. We would like to thank everybody that has<br />

contributed, but especially AMSTAT , Global Jet Capital and WingX.<br />

GLOBAL BUSINESS<br />

AVIATION<br />

MARKET UPDATE<br />

Includes Data through July <strong>2021</strong><br />

By Global Jet Capital<br />

The business aviation market demonstrated<br />

remarkable resilience in 2020 and continued<br />

to build on that strength in the first 7 months<br />

of <strong>2021</strong>. Through July YTD, flight operations and preowned<br />

transactions were up, demonstrating continued<br />

demand for the capabilities that business jets provide.<br />

As the global economy grows, renewed business activity<br />

will continue to drive transactions in the business<br />

aviation market.<br />

• Lifting travel restrictions and liquidity built up during the<br />

pandemic led to economic growth in Q2 <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

• Driven by the entry of new users into the market, business jet<br />

flights grew through July <strong>2021</strong>. While comparisons to 2020 can<br />

be misleading due to lockdowns during that time, flight activity<br />

increased nearly 1 percent when compared to 2019.<br />

• Backlogs rose at major OEMs, driven by new users to the<br />

business jet market, low pre-owned inventory, and strong demand<br />

from fleet operators.<br />

• Overall transaction activity continues to recover from 2020<br />

levels, driven largely by the pre-owned market.<br />

• Inventory levels continued to decline through July <strong>2021</strong> and<br />

remained at historically low levels.<br />

• Limited supply and continued robust demand have given business<br />

jet sellers additional bargaining power, resulting in bluebook values<br />

firming up and even appreciating in some instances.<br />

(Forecast) (Forecast) (Forecast) (Forecast)<br />

i<br />

The global economy has experienced strong growth in Q2 <strong>2021</strong>. As<br />

governments lifted restrictions that had been implemented to control<br />

COVID-19, economic growth returned, especially in the U.S., China,<br />

and Europe. Liquidity built up during lockdowns is also driving growth.<br />

Oxford Economics expects GDP growth to continue at a steady pace<br />

throughout the rest of <strong>2021</strong> and into 2022. Economists note there<br />

is a risk of the economy overheating as demand from consumers<br />

and governments potentially outstrips supply. ii However, an analysis<br />

by Managing Director and Head of Global Research for The Carlyle<br />

Group, Jason Thomas, indicates that there are signs that increasing<br />

industrial production is closing the gap between supply and demand<br />

in the broader economy. iii As new variants emerge, COVID-19 is also<br />

a threat to economic growth. However, the global vaccine campaign<br />

continues to make progress with over 3.5 billion vaccinations<br />

administered globally by mid-July <strong>2021</strong>. iv Overall, the economic<br />

picture was bright in the first half of <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

As travel restrictions were loosened across jurisdictions, business<br />

jet flight operations have recovered, increasing 49 percent through<br />

July <strong>2021</strong> compared to the same time a year ago. Growth figures<br />

benefited substantially from comparison to weak 2020 data.<br />

However, even when compared to the same period in 2019, global<br />

flight operations increased 0.8 percent.<br />

Throughout the pandemic, business aviation benefitted from the entry<br />

of new customers into the market as people sought to avoid crowded<br />

commercial flights and terminals. One study found that flying privately<br />

can reduce almost 700 “person-to-person” touchpoints compared<br />

to a commercial flight. vi While many of these new customers have<br />

utilized charter and fractional aircraft, some have purchased their<br />

own aircraft (more details on aircraft transactions are below).<br />

As the pandemic recedes, the industry looks poised to maintain its<br />

position of strength. In a recent survey of business jet users, 97<br />

percent of all respondents indicated that they would use business<br />

aviation as much as, or more than, they did prior to COVID-19. Of the<br />

respondents that started using business aviation during COVID-19,<br />

100 percent said they would use business aviation at least some of<br />

the time after the pandemic was over, with 53 percent saying they<br />

would use it regularly. vii The business aviation market will further<br />

benefit as large corporate business travel resumes and new users<br />

continue to leverage the charter and fractional market, in turn driving<br />

continued growth in business jet flight operations.<br />

At the end of Q2 <strong>2021</strong>, industry backlog was $31 billion, about 4.9<br />

percent higher than a year earlier. Following some decline in backlog<br />

during lockdowns in 2020, orders increased in early <strong>2021</strong> and continued<br />

through the middle of the year. The rising backlogs are increasing the<br />

lead time for new aircraft, improving flexibility and manufacturing<br />

efficiency for many OEMs. Orders for new aircraft are being driven<br />

by new users to the business jet market, habitual pre-owned buyers<br />

ordering new aircraft due to low pre-owned inventory, and fleet operators<br />

who are experiencing demand for their services.<br />

Increasing pre-owned transactions and fewer aircraft listings led to<br />

declining business jet inventory through July <strong>2021</strong>. Inventory at the<br />

end of July <strong>2021</strong> stood at 5.7 percent of the total fleet, lower than at<br />

any time during the last two years and near all-time lows. Furthermore,<br />

inventory of aircraft younger than 13 years old (typically seen as more<br />

desirable) was only 3.6 percent of the global fleet.<br />

<strong>2021</strong>, with listings 19.1 percent lower July YTD than during the same<br />

period in 2020. In 2020, the average number of aircraft listed for sale per<br />

week was 45 and that declined to 40.5 in <strong>2021</strong>. Anecdotally, many prex<br />

owned aircraft are being sold prior to being listed, similar to what can be<br />

seen in strong real estate markets. Listings may remain low until new<br />

deliveries begin to pick up, driving owners to list current aircraft once they<br />

take delivery of new aircraft.<br />

New and pre-owned transaction dollar volume increased 18.8 percent<br />

through July <strong>2021</strong> compared to the same period in 2020. Both new<br />

and pre-owned transactions are up compared to 2020. However, preowned<br />

transactions have been particularly strong in <strong>2021</strong> and have<br />

been 9.5 percent higher than during the same time in 2019.<br />

Pre-owned transactions increased despite low inventory – which can<br />

reduce selection for buyers – demonstrating both strong demand and<br />

buyers’ resourcefulness in finding aircraft when relatively few options<br />

exist on the market.<br />

In response to the early stages of the pandemic a year ago, many<br />

manufacturers reduced production as a result of supply chain issues<br />

and anticipated reductions in demand. These production cuts, faced<br />

with unexpectedly robust demand through H1 <strong>2021</strong>, seem to be<br />

coming to an end. As orders have recovered and demand continues to<br />

be strong, many manufacturers anticipate an increase of production<br />

levels through the remainder of <strong>2021</strong> and into 2022.<br />

The above chart compares the year-over-year percentage change in<br />

the bluebook value of like-aged aircraft over time (e.g., the difference<br />

between value of an eight-year-old aircraft from one year to the<br />

next). Global Jet Capital analyzes a basket of aircraft as a proxy for<br />

the overall market. Observed increases or decreases in value are not<br />

necessarily applicable to any specific aircraft make/model. For the<br />

value of a specific aircraft, please contact a licensed aircraft appraiser.<br />

Business jet bluebook values have been firming up since lockdowns<br />

and other COVID measures began easing up. Bluebook values have<br />

even appreciated in some instances, with overall values climbing<br />

0.4 percent compared to a year ago. Business aircraft values have<br />

performed better than they did during the 2008 financial crisis or the<br />

2016 decline in commodity values.<br />

<strong>2021</strong><br />

xii<br />

On a model-by-model basis, values varied, with some aircraft<br />

outperforming others in the market. Though the world remains in a fluid<br />

situation, users of business jets are enjoying the benefits of an asset<br />

that provides unmatched travel flexibility. As a result, owners held onto<br />

their aircraft while new buyers entered the market, which gave buyers<br />

less negotiating power when signing deals. Disciplined production<br />

rates by major OEMs have added to the sellers’ market. While prices<br />

can fluctuate model by model and deal by deal, reports have emerged<br />

of buyers offering high premiums to get quality aircraft. Whether the<br />

current situation remains depends on both strong demand and low<br />

supply continuing.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />

The business jet industry demonstrated production discipline, maturity, and stability throughout 2020 as<br />

COVID-19 disrupted markets around the world. Through July <strong>2021</strong>, the industry built on that resilience and<br />

has continued to grow. Led by the entrance of new users, business jet flights have increased compared to<br />

low levels in 2020, as well as levels seen in 2019. Orders for new aircraft as well as pre-owned transactions<br />

have remained strong. As a result of strong transactions, inventories have continued to decline, reaching<br />

record lows each new quarter. Low inventory and continued demand firmed up aircraft prices and overall<br />

values have climbed 0.4 percent compared to a year ago.<br />

Despite continued outbreaks of COVID-19 around the world, the business jet market remains wellpositioned<br />

to weather the storm and continue to grow.<br />

“As a percentage of active fleet, business jet and turboprop preowned inventories are at another alltime<br />

low (4.9%) and preowned transaction activity remains robust creating upward pressure on values.<br />

Buyers continue to have to act fast to purchase the preowned aircraft they want and are increasingly<br />

The short-term median value of Heavy Jets has continued to rise,<br />

with this metric up 19% over the past 12 months. Over this period, the<br />

short-term median value metric for this segment recovered everything<br />

lost during the first half of 2020 and is now 8% above pre-Covid levels.<br />

This trend has been driven by continued robust transaction activity,<br />

which was up 49% in the first 8 months* of <strong>2021</strong> compared to the<br />

same period in 2020 and up 31% over the same period in 2019. The<br />

Heavy Jet inventory continues to deplete, down 41% year-over-year.<br />

The short-term median value of Super-Mid Jets has risen 25% over<br />

the past 12 months, recovering everything lost in early 2020 and now<br />

6% above the short-term median value metric in January 2020. Like<br />

the Heavy Jet market, this upward trend in values has been driven<br />

by strength in resale transactions and a continued contraction in Su-<br />

per-Mid availability. Inventory in this segment is down 38% year-overyear.<br />

Resale retail transactions in the first 8 months* of <strong>2021</strong> are up<br />

35% over the same period in 2020 and up 57% versus the same period<br />

in 2019.<br />

The short-term median value of Medium Jets has risen 26% over the<br />

past 12 months and after plateauing over the summer is now 5%<br />

ahead of its start of 2020 levels. The positive direction of values is<br />

in large part due to continued strong resale retail transaction activity<br />

with the first 8 months* of <strong>2021</strong> exceeding the same period in 2020<br />

by 71% and the same period in 2019 by 68%. Values have also been<br />

driven up by a contraction of supply, which is down 49% year-overyear<br />

in this market segment.<br />

The short-term median value of Light jets has increased 20% over the<br />

past 12 months, but remains 5% below its January 2020 mark. As with<br />

other markets, this upward trend has been driven by increased resale<br />

transaction activity, up 67% during the first 8 months* of <strong>2021</strong> versus the<br />

same period in 2020 and up 64% versus the same period in 2019. The<br />

inventory in this segment has fallen 46% year-over-year. We believe that<br />

values in this segment have not recovered to early 2020 levels because<br />

it simply takes more to move the needle for Light Jets than larger jets.<br />

There are more of these aircraft and greater diversity. We will need to<br />

continue to see robust transaction activity to drive values higher.<br />

The short-term median value of Turboprops has risen a net 12% over<br />

the past 12 months. There has been some up and down in this metric<br />

since May, but a recent upward trend has placed it 1% above its start of<br />

2020 levels. Resale transaction activity remains strong in this segment,<br />

up 50% in the first 8 months* of <strong>2021</strong> compared to the same period in<br />

2020, and up 31% for the same period in 2019. The Turboprop inventory<br />

has also contracted 36% year-over-year.<br />

The Hong Kong economy expanded by 7.5% in the first<br />

quarter of <strong>2021</strong>, continuing its bounce back from the technical<br />

recession at the end of 2020. Stronger exports and<br />

increased consumer spending helped lift GDP.<br />

Taiwan, China<br />

Taiwan’s GDP grew by 7.74% y-o-y in the second quarter of<br />

<strong>2021</strong>, beating an earlier estimate of 6.93%, but lower than<br />

the 8.92% in the first quarter. The increase was largely due<br />

to a 22.93% jump in exports.<br />

expansion of 16.1%, although this was largely attributed<br />

business so far?<br />

This quarter saw economic optimism levels stay<br />

broadly the same as the previus quarter at 83%. However,<br />

there was a marked decrease in optimism from<br />

Great China respondants, with 80% saying they are<br />

optimistic about the economy – a decrease of 6%<br />

from Q2.<br />

Chinese manufacturers signaled a slight deterioration<br />

in business conditions in <strong>Q3</strong>, not helped by the recent<br />

COVID-19 outbreak in Nanjing City, with the resulting<br />

containment and restrictions having an impact on the<br />

market, especially on the supplier side.<br />

According to data from German business aviation consultancy WingX<br />

Advance, the total number of business aviation flights departing from<br />

Asia-Pacific airports between January <strong>2021</strong> and September <strong>2021</strong><br />

was 77,051 – a 42.7% increase when compared to the same period<br />

in 2020.<br />

When it came to the third quarter of <strong>2021</strong>, the increase in flight activity<br />

after the COVID-19 pandemic continued. However, the year-on-year<br />

increase started to slow down from July <strong>2021</strong>, which only saw an increase<br />

of 42.7% as the year-on-year increase in June <strong>2021</strong> was 71.3%.<br />

Overall, despite slowing, the increases during the period from January<br />

to September <strong>2021</strong> indicate that the recovery will continue into the<br />

fourth quarter of <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

During the third quarter of <strong>2021</strong>, flight durations all saw growth<br />

when compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in flight<br />

duration was most obvious for flights between 30 minutes and one<br />

hour, as well as those more than five hours. This implies that the<br />

recovery of both short-distance and long-distance flights will continue<br />

to the fourth quarter of the year.<br />

Total flight activitity between January and September <strong>2021</strong> saw<br />

huge growth when compared to the same period in 2020. The strict<br />

COVID-19 control and regulation policies led to the rise of domestic<br />

flights in <strong>2021</strong>. The differences between domestic and international<br />

flights was 16% in 2020, whilst in <strong>2021</strong> it has dropped to<br />

just 8%. The rise of domestic flights will probably continue until the<br />

COVID-19 pandemic is under complete control worldwide.<br />

Apart from Hong Kong, all other countries and regions saw a yearon-year<br />

rises. Without a doubt, India still ranked first with a yearon-year<br />

rise of 241%. On the other hand, Japan finally got rid of<br />

its continuous year-on-year drop during the first half of <strong>2021</strong>, and<br />

has seen a huge boom in flight activity since the second quarter<br />

of <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE<br />

Sino Jet’s New Aircraft Delivery Process<br />

during the COVID-19 Pandemic<br />

Since early 2020, the dramatic spread of COVID-19 across the globe has put the entire commercial aviation<br />

industry in an unprecedented economic winter. Business aviation, renowned for its high degree<br />

of safety, privacy, flexibility, and convenience immediately became the essential mode of transport<br />

for Chinese businessmen to effectively resume work and to continue with their operations. Facing COVID-19,<br />

countries and regions reacted by tightening travel policies and introducing restrictive quarantine measures.<br />

These policies and measures almost put importing an aircraft into mainland China completely out of the question.<br />

Despite the obstacles, Sino Jet, Asia’s biggest private jet operator, still managed to successfully take<br />

delivery of new aircraft.<br />

As the largest business jet operating company in the Asia-Pacific region, Sino Jet, without compromising<br />

safety, strategically analyzed various pandemic prevention and control measures in different countries and<br />

regions, and innovatively came up with new aircraft delivery processes. In April 2020, Sino Jet successfully<br />

introduced the first business jet from the United States to its fleet in mainland China since the outbreak of<br />

COVID-19. This Sino Jet delivery process quickly set an example in the industry, exemplifying the continuous<br />

development of business aviation in China.<br />

Since the pandemic, Sino Jet has successfully delivered several aircraft from the United States and Canada to<br />

its customers in mainland China and Hong Kong. According to <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group’s “2020 Asia Pacific Business<br />

Jet Fleet Report”, an additional 14 new business jets were introduced into the Greater China region in 2020.<br />

Amongst the top five operators in the Asia-Pacific region, Sino Jet is the only operator that has seen its fleet<br />

grow for three consecutive years.<br />

Unprecedented Challenges<br />

After the COVID-19 outbreak, country borders are heavily controlled,<br />

and business aviation operations face varying degrees of restrictions.<br />

Aircraft deliveries involve many stakeholders, such as the customers<br />

themselves, aircraft manufacturers, airworthiness authorities,<br />

financing institutions, airport authorities, and of course local health<br />

departments on pandemic prevention and so on. A recipe for success<br />

must now include considerations and support from various research<br />

studies about the virus, in addition to the formulation of a systematic<br />

plan, close communications with all stakeholders and most importantly,<br />

impeccable teamwork.<br />

“The pandemic is changing rapidly, at the same time, preventive and<br />

control measures are also changing. Although a customized delivery<br />

plan may have been designed down to every detail, our aircraft induction<br />

team must remain vigilant throughout the process, closely monitor<br />

the situation and uphold their adaptability to changes. “Anticipate,<br />

Adapt and Overcome is our motto” Jessica Wu, General Manager of<br />

Sales Operation of Sino Jet Beijing, is full of emotions as she thinks<br />

back to the delivery of a brand-new Gulfstream G650 from the United<br />

States to Mainland China back in April 2020.<br />

Before an aircraft is delivered, Sino Jet aircraft induction team begins<br />

coordination that includes communicating with the Civil Aviation Authority<br />

of the aircraft registration country, followed by arranging an<br />

authorized representative to conduct on-site inspections at various<br />

stages at the aircraft manufacturer and aircraft modification sites.<br />

The inspections cover aircraft configuration, aircraft airworthiness,<br />

license and certification applications, schedule and conduct of flight<br />

tests, and most importantly, any correctional tasks and final acceptance<br />

of the aircraft. However, the pandemic brought some serious<br />

challenges to the Sino Jet team as they planned for the delivery flight<br />

from the US to mainland China. As the Centers for Disease Control<br />

and Prevention (CDC) in the US could alter travel restrictions by locking<br />

down major cities at any point, timing the departure and choosing<br />

the departure airport became critical. A feasible departure plan would<br />

not be possible without monitoring the continuous development of<br />

travel policies in different states and a strong team of flight operations<br />

professionals who could formulate and implement safe and<br />

practical flight plans in a timely manner.<br />

Meanwhile at the arrival end, the Chinese Center for Disease Control<br />

and Prevention (China CDC) had implemented extreme border<br />

restrictions on foreigners, forcing Sino Jet to reallocate its own crew<br />

resources as the flight could no longer be operated by flight crews<br />

assigned by the manufacturers.<br />

“For our clients in Hong Kong, recruiting pilots with the knowledge,<br />

experience, and skillset required to succeed in this operating environment<br />

is more difficult than ever. A contributing factor is the tightened<br />

work visa restrictions that is in response to the recent closure of a<br />

local carrier, subsequently and sadly leaving many local airline pilots<br />

unemployed. Available pilots with a good amount of experience in<br />

business aviation are scarce now.” said Jim Markel, Chief Operating<br />

Officer of Sino Jet Hong Kong.<br />

Jessica said: “We are facing new challenges, there is no one solution<br />

that fits all, and there is no past experience to learn from. We tread<br />

as we explore carefully, holding our service commitment and professionalism<br />

to heart, we improvise with our skills and knowledge, to<br />

customize every aircraft delivery process.”<br />

Challenge the Impossible<br />

“Sino Jet is very pragmatic when it comes to aircraft deliveries. We<br />

are very result-oriented, we start from our customer’s needs and work<br />

our way to a smooth and efficient delivery. Sino Jet conducts feasibility<br />

studies to evaluate the ideal outcomes in reverse. We have been<br />

closely monitoring changes in travel policies and restrictions, and we<br />

make the best use of our dual headquarters in Beijing and Hong Kong,<br />

to effectively utilize our resources. Be creative and open-minded in<br />

customizing every step of the process during these special times.”<br />

Prior to COVID-19, Sino Jet was always innovative in the aircraft handover<br />

and the completion of aircraft registration. It is not uncommon<br />

to have aircraft registry officials from one country and a Sino Jet<br />

representative conducting on-site inspections concurrently. This arrangement<br />

can facilitate an efficient handover and a quicker delivery<br />

bringing the aircraft into mainland China. Sometimes a further change<br />

of aircraft registration to another country that best suits the clients’<br />

needs is then carried out once the aircraft is in mainland China.<br />

Jim Markel mentioned that Sino Jet’s aircraft induction team is comprised<br />

of experts with different backgrounds, including business<br />

management, customer services, aircraft maintenance and engineering,<br />

flight operations, quality assurance, cabin services, and safety.<br />

Every member contributes their expertise in customizing the delivery<br />

process for their clients.<br />

An optimum aircraft delivery process should minimize the use and involvement<br />

of external vendors. Sino Jet aircraft induction team works<br />

round the clock amid local COVID-19 restrictions and controls, keeping<br />

all stakeholders updated by direct communications to streamline<br />

a smooth aircraft delivery process.<br />

With two strong international teams based in Beijing and Hong Kong,<br />

Sino Jet can assign the right professionals with the most convenient<br />

nationalities to conduct aircraft inspections and to operate the aircraft<br />

to the delivery country in accordance with the latest travel restrictions<br />

and quarantine requirements.<br />

Aircraft registration is never a simple matter. To be able to offer further<br />

changes, this utmost level of flexibility to aircraft owners, an operator<br />

must firstly be structurally sizeable enough to fulfill various<br />

operational requirements set by different aircraft registries. Secondly,<br />

the operator must be experienced and knowledgeable enough to be<br />

capable to operate a fleet of aircraft registered in multiple locations.<br />

Having helped countless business jet owners find their ideal registration<br />

jurisdiction, Sino Jet has proven itself to have a wealth of experience<br />

in aircraft registration and has been operating a diverse fleet of<br />

aircraft with different prefixes for over a decade.<br />

From formulating an aircraft delivery plan, to assuring the highest financial<br />

and operational efficiency, challenges lie at every step. Sweat<br />

and hand work is the formula for Sino Jet’s success.<br />

www.sinojet.org<br />

In order to effectively control the cost of aircraft delivery, Sino Jet<br />

tends to assign the ideal professional who has at least 20 years of<br />

experience in aircraft engineering or management as the representative<br />

stationed on site for each delivery. Amid the global pandemic,<br />

keeping travel personnel to a minimum is the ideal of keeping the risk<br />

of COVID-19 infection low.<br />

EXCLUSIVE: CHARLES FABRIKANT<br />

Interview with<br />

By Tiffany Tong<br />

Charles Fabrikant<br />

Charles Fabrikant started his career in the late 1960s as a lawyer,<br />

initially specializing in environmental law, which at the time was a<br />

newly burgeoning field. Having taught the subject in law school, then<br />

working for the Environmental Protection Agency when it was first<br />

formed, Charles set up his own law firm with a former colleague.<br />

However, Charles found the work unsatisfying, and with his family<br />

taking an interest in the international shipping business and owning<br />

tankers and bulk ships, it wasn’t long before Charles took an interest<br />

as well. “I remember reading an article around that time in one of the<br />

financial magazines and it talked about Greek ship owners as modern<br />

day pirates with eyes in the back of their heads, and that sounded like<br />

a lot of fun to me,” says Charles. The family shipping business was<br />

called SEACOR, and operated vessels mainly from Greece, but also in<br />

other parts of the world.<br />

Breaking into the helicopter industry<br />

During the early part of the 1980s the global economy suffered what is<br />

widely regarded to be one of the worst recessions since the end of the<br />

second world war, and America’s grain exports consequently dropped<br />

substantially. As a result, activity dropped and the international shipping<br />

business was badly affected. Sensing the fall out early, Charles liquidated<br />

the family shipping business in 1981, in what he himself calls a ‘lucky<br />

move.’ Having then spent some time in the in-land transportation industry,<br />

Charles’ return to shipping would come in 1989 with a move into the<br />

Oil and Gas support sector. During a lunch one Christmas, Charles met<br />

up with a friend who asked him if he wanted to break into the helicopter<br />

industry. But it wasn’t until 2001 when an executive called Charles<br />

to inform him that there was a helicopter company looking for capital.<br />

Eventually, in 2002 Charles acquired Tex-Air – a Gulf of Mexico-based<br />

operator using single-engine helicopters. With the boom in deepwater<br />

activity and drilling, Charles remembers “we were inspired and figured<br />

it would be a launching base for a bigger business.” This would later<br />

pay off when in 2005 a drilling company called Rowan put its helicopter<br />

business Era up for sale. Charles notes “my instinct had told me, the<br />

new management of Rowan would have no interest in helicopters, and it<br />

turned out to be the case.”<br />

About eight years later Charles created a tax-free dividend for SEA-<br />

COR shareholders, and spun Era off as an independent company. “Our<br />

view was that eventually, the industry would need to consolidate,” he<br />

says. “History has suggested based on what I’d seen, consolidation<br />

would be necessary.” Having taken SEACOR public, Charles stayed on<br />

as the Chairman of Era until its 2020 merger with Bristow.<br />

Business aviation lands in China<br />

Shortly after getting involved in the helicopter industry, Charles first<br />

met Wu Zhendong, CEO of Avion Pacific. Charles states that it was<br />

an “interesting experience.” According to him, Era’s general manager<br />

called one day asking if he would be open to meeting a gentleman with<br />

whom they had done business leasing aircraft into China. After a New<br />

York Chinese dinner, the deal was set - SEACOR invested in Avion Pacific.<br />

Charles says that it was a fascinating time to be involved in business<br />

aviation in China as the industry was still very much in its infancy<br />

– it was then that he started to learn more about fixed-wing aircraft.<br />

Avion Pacific’s portfolio around that time mostly consisted of helicopters<br />

but it was looking to expand into fixed-wing aircraft. Around the<br />

same time, Hawker Beechcraft was looking to break into the Chinese<br />

market with its turboprop and business jet aircraft. Avion soon became<br />

an authorized Hawker Beechcraft sales representative for China, eventually<br />

becoming the country’s master dealer.<br />

<strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group is born<br />

During 2010, with Zhendong’s primary focus on the booming Chinese<br />

business aviation market, he and Charles jointly came up with the idea<br />

of creating a new company located outside of mainland China that could<br />

capitalize on the growth in the region. “The idea was to expand the brokerage<br />

side of the business,” Charles elaborates. “Then <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group<br />

THIRD QUARTER <strong>2021</strong> — ASIAN SKY QUARTERLY | 39


started to do publications and some consultations.” In his eyes, with necessity<br />

being the mother of invention, when times were lean and difficult<br />

on the brokerage side of things, the publications and consultancy work<br />

became adjunct activities. In time, the publications expanded to include<br />

topics such as business jets, helicopters, infrastructure, general aviation,<br />

charter, and training – what readers are familiar with today.<br />

Back to the future<br />

Charles also has a great interest in the digital side of the industry,<br />

and could immediately see the possibilities of 3D virtual platforms<br />

when a friend introduced him to GathR Virtual Studios (Now called<br />

Mytaverse) during the summer of lockdown in 2020.<br />

With the platform being able to imitate real-world interactions without<br />

the necessity of goggles or complicated equipment, Charles was<br />

immediately captivated by how the program could be used in different<br />

ways. He was particularly interested in Mytaverse’s teleporting<br />

feature, which allowed users to jump from one part of the platform<br />

to another instantaneously. Charles’ first aviation trade show experience<br />

came with a visit to the Paris Air Show in 1995, so he immediately<br />

understood the value of being able to teleport from exhibitor to<br />

exhibitor, all without the possibility of getting lost along the way. After<br />

evangelizing the merits of the platform to <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group’s CEO Jeffrey<br />

C. Lowe, the seed was sown, and the first ever fully immersive 3D<br />

virtual trade show and conference for aviation, and perhaps the first<br />

of its kind for any industry, began to take shape.<br />

Charles speaks very positively about the use of GathR Virtual Studios’<br />

Mytaverse platform, “The key here is, unlike Zoom or just sharing<br />

screens, you can be virtually in the same space,” he says. “You can actually<br />

sit in the cabin or the cockpit [of the aircraft] and someone can sit<br />

there with you and use a laser pointer and show you the new avionics.”<br />

Aside from being great for trade shows, Charles adds that Virtual Reality<br />

(VR) is a terrific opportunity for OEMs and manufacturers serving other<br />

industries to showcase their products. A retired radiologist friend that<br />

Charles spoke to about it said that it would be perfect for the Radiological<br />

Society of North America (RSNA), as manufacturers would no longer<br />

need to move around large X-ray and CAT scanners, which can be cumbersome<br />

and expensive. With so many different applications, the topic<br />

of the ‘metaverse’ has become a euphemism for the virtual world, major<br />

networks like the BBC, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and CBS all<br />

talking about the future opportunities of VR. As Charles puts it, “it seems<br />

to be an evolving concept.”<br />

VR is the future<br />

On VR, Charles remains optimistic. Aside from the high cost to physically<br />

travel around for trade shows and exhibit, plus having to deal with<br />

current and no doubt future pandemic restrictions, there is the convenience<br />

of sitting in a comfortable and secure environment as well as<br />

being able to download materials digitally without being weighed down<br />

with brochures as you do at an in-person event. As Charles himself<br />

says, “I’m not terribly keen on flying around for trade shows, and additionally,<br />

when I was Chairman of Era, we had already started to cut<br />

back on the number of people we would send to trade-shows.” Add on<br />

changing timezones, jet lag, and complicated airport security prevalent<br />

in a post 9/11 world, flying to trade shows is more complicated than<br />

ever before.<br />

In a time where sustainability and climate change are important,<br />

using VR can also assist in reducing our carbon footprint and can<br />

demonstrate our ‘green’ credentials. “This is one of the few areas that<br />

businesses that are not heavy carbon emitters have control over, or<br />

businesses which are emitters can limit what they do,” Charles explains.<br />

The sad truth is, in aviation, more flights equal better business,<br />

despite more Co2 being emitted. In the end, Charles believes<br />

“we want to look for other areas where it’s feasible to be a positive<br />

contributor to the global effort here.”<br />

FLYING GREENER WITH SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL<br />

By Tiffany Tong<br />

With global temperatures on the rise, research into sustainable<br />

fuels has become a hot topic of discussion in the aviation<br />

industry. According to data provided by the Air Transport<br />

Action Group (ATAG), worldwide flights produced 915 million tonnes of<br />

CO2 in 2019. Furthermore, aviation is responsible for 12% of CO2 emissions<br />

coming from all transport sources – with 74% coming from road<br />

transportation. With the world recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic,<br />

and air travel slowly picking back up, it is even more important for the<br />

aviation industry to consider alternatives to using fossil fuels.<br />

Another unique property of SAF is that the chemical and physical<br />

characteristics are almost identical to conventional jet fuels, thus allowing<br />

the two to be safely blended together. These combined fuels<br />

are called “drop-in fuels” – fuels that can be automatically incorporated<br />

without needing existing aircraft, engines, or airport fuel systems<br />

to be modified. With SAF’s potential to reduce the carbon footprint of<br />

aviation fuel by up to 80%, it is hoped that its introduction will result in<br />

a step forward in the decarbonization of the aviation industry.<br />

SAF, short for sustainable aviation fuel,<br />

are fuels that are not derived from fossils.<br />

Also known as ‘next-generation biofuels’<br />

or ‘advanced biofuels’, they are produced<br />

from sustainable feedstocks. Feedstocks<br />

(otherwise raw materials from which fuels<br />

are produced) include used cooking oils,<br />

non-palm waste oils, and other municipal<br />

solid waste. Although similar to standard<br />

biofuels, SAFs have to ensure their feedstocks<br />

can be grown or produced without<br />

unintentional environmental consequences,<br />

such as deforestation.<br />

Hongkong Jet is one such operator considering the use of SAF. According<br />

to the company, it believes that SAFs are one of the main factors to<br />

make aviation greener.<br />

We are very pleased to have SAFs in the<br />

private jet industry and fully support its<br />

development and usage because of the<br />

environmental protection.<br />

says CEO Alex Jiao. “We would love to start using it once it has been<br />

approved by OEMs and civil aviation authorities.” Despite customers<br />

not specifically requesting for Hongkong Jet to use SAF, the operator<br />

still intends to reduce aviation’s ecological footprint as well as minimize<br />

the effects of global warming.<br />

42 | ASIAN SKY QUARTERLY — THIRD QUARTER <strong>2021</strong>


COMMENTARY: FLYING GREENER WITH SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL<br />

Sino Jet is also thinking about using SAFs. According to the company,<br />

It strives to improve fuel efficiency and<br />

operational efficiencies to help limit<br />

aviation’s climate change impact, and<br />

is also committed to a safe, secure and<br />

sustainable future for business aviation.<br />

customers and supports government policies that drive larger volumes<br />

of SAF in the future. The company additionally advocates for new<br />

technological research and development programs for SAF. With the<br />

increasingly greater interest in these sustainable fuels, Gulfstream’s<br />

customers are starting to recognize the importance of decarbonizing<br />

aviation. As a result, Charles claims that Gulfstream has “led the way<br />

for several operators to pursue securing their own supply of sustainable<br />

aviation fuel.”<br />

As a return flight between London and San Francisco has a carbon<br />

footprint per economy ticket of nearly 1 tonne of CO2, Sino Jet views<br />

SAFs are critical to achieving aviation’s goal of carbon-neutral growth.<br />

Gulfstream has already started using SAF in its demonstration<br />

flights. According to Charles Etter, environmental strategy and regulatory<br />

affairs staff scientist and technical fellow, he believes “SAF<br />

is one of the most promising paths for fulfilling the industry’s commitment<br />

to reduce business aviation’s carbon footprint.” In his eyes,<br />

every gallon of SAF used saves at least 50% in CO2 emissions on<br />

a life-cycle basis, compared to traditional petroleum-based jet fuel.<br />

Moreover, these renewable fuels are purer and burn cleaner, thus reducing<br />

emissions of sulfur oxides and particulate matter, which will<br />

keep the air cleaner. This is especially important in areas having a<br />

high density of flight movements, such as airports and other urban<br />

locations. Charles also notes that further research has indicated SAF<br />

reduces the formation of condensation trails, which can also have<br />

GHG (greenhouse gas) impacts.<br />

Gulfstream, therefore, supports SAF in many ways, such as using it in<br />

its own corporate and flight test operations. Gulfstream also offers it to<br />

The manufacturer started regularly using SAF in 2011, with the Gulfstream<br />

G450 being the first aircraft to fly transatlantic on SAF. 2015<br />

saw the company sign a multi-year agreement with World Fuel Services<br />

for a continuous supply of a 30/70 blend. Charles further specifies<br />

that Gulfstream recently renewed the contract for an additional<br />

five years. Flying more than 1.5 million nautical miles while purchasing<br />

more than 1.4 million gallons of SAF, Gulfstream has also become<br />

the first company to receive the National Aeronautic Association’s<br />

(NAA) “Sustainable Wings” certificate for its record-setting trip from<br />

Savannah to San Francisco using a 30/70 blend of SAF and conventional<br />

Jet-A.<br />

Gulfstream G450 become the first aircraft to fly transatlantic on SAF, and Gulfstream has also become the first company to<br />

receive the National Aeronautic Association’s (NAA) “Sustainable Wings” certificate.<br />

THIRD QUARTER <strong>2021</strong> — ASIAN SKY QUARTERLY | 43


COMMENTARY: FLYING GREENER WITH SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL<br />

Despite SAF’s overall positive impact on the environment, one of the<br />

major downsides is its higher cost. According to estimates, it costs<br />

two to three times more than traditional jet fuel, whilst making up<br />

less than 1% of fuel available in the market. This is mainly a result of<br />

small production runs, as well as the current availability of sustainable<br />

feedstocks coupled with the development of production technology.<br />

Alex agrees, stating that “SAF is still a relatively new technology<br />

at the moment.” However, he is still optimistic, noting “Once it has<br />

been approved and supported by OEMs and civil aviation authorities,<br />

we believe that more and more companies will start using it [SAF].”<br />

He hopes that further production facilities being built and more operators<br />

choosing to use sustainable fuels will help to bring the overall<br />

cost of SAFs down.<br />

When asked if there were any other solutions to make aviation greener,<br />

Alex mentions there are advanced flight plans from operators and<br />

upgraded aircraft designs from OEMs that could help. Charles on the<br />

other hand elaborates, “Gulfstream continues to focus on several key<br />

initiatives. We invest in new aircraft technologies and use state-ofthe-art<br />

engines that reduce emissions, fuel consumption, and noise.”<br />

He further adds, “Gulfstream has made significant investments in<br />

precision manufacturing and advanced technologies that have led<br />

to the introduction of six high-technology aircraft in the past eight<br />

years.” These aircraft include the G280, G500, G600, G650, G650ER,<br />

and G700. Aside from this, Gulfstream also encourages customers<br />

to use green flying methods and even offers operators a carbon offset<br />

program. Sino Jet, Asia’s biggest private jet operator, believes airframe<br />

and engine improvements, as well as new air traffic control<br />

technology, can also help reduce GHGs.<br />

Both Alex and Charles remain positive about the future of SAF and<br />

the aviation industry. Alex believes “SAF will have great success in<br />

the future once it is supported by governments and OEMs. With technological<br />

improvements, the percentage of SAF compared to traditional<br />

jet fuel may increase.” Charles agrees, stating “We expect SAF<br />

to be made from a wider variety of sustainable feedstocks and, with<br />

a true demand signal, the volumes will increase to better meet that<br />

demand.”For Sino Jet, the company emphasizes how governments<br />

and aviation authorities need to help promote sustainability and SAF,<br />

as well as establish more business networking opportunities for suppliers<br />

and consumers of SAF, such as the Sustainable Aviation Fuel<br />

Symposium (SAFS). Overall, as Charles puts it, “the goal is to make<br />

SAF the norm, rather than novel.”<br />

EXCLUSIVE: ASGVEC RECAP<br />

ASGVEC: A GREAT SUCCESS!<br />

It is not often that you can say that you were a part of history,<br />

yet everybody that attended the <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group Virtual Exhibition<br />

and Conference (ASGVEC) did exactly that. ASGVEC was<br />

the first ever business aviation event to be held in the Metaverse.<br />

The event did not get off to a good start, with technical issues<br />

dogging day one. This was largely due to the sheer number of<br />

people trying to access the event. In the first seven minutes<br />

that the event went live, just under 1,000 people tried to get into<br />

ASGVEC simultaneously. That unprecedented number of people<br />

caused the system to crash, with <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group’s CEO Jeffrey<br />

C. Lowe later joking that ASGVEC crashed the internet. Overnight,<br />

<strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group’s technology partners worked on rolling out a<br />

new version of the platform, so by Day 2 the majority of Day 1’s<br />

issues were fixed.<br />

Whilst that unfortunately meant that the day one conference program<br />

was cancelled, many people stayed in ASGVEC to visit the<br />

exhibition halls. Just under 50 companies signed up to exhibit at the<br />

event, including some of the biggest names in business aviation in<br />

Asia and the world. As well as the exhibition halls, Dassault had created<br />

its own world in ASGVEC, and had photo-realistic models of its<br />

popular Falcon 6X and Falcon 8X on display for attendees to go on<br />

board. These were faithfully recreated from the manufacturer’s own<br />

3D drawings, and were true to life, even down to the double stitching<br />

on the seats. Much like Dassault, Sino Jet also had its own world.<br />

This was a faithful recreation of the company’s Beijing headquarters.<br />

Attendees could visit Sino Jet’s world and feeling like they were walking<br />

through the doors of its headquarters in real life.<br />

As well as exhibition halls and worlds, ASGVEC also included a full<br />

conference program. This was held in the beautiful Atlas Auditorium<br />

– named after a statue appearing in the auditorium lobby. The conference<br />

lasted for four hours each day, with all speakers either being<br />

based in Asia-Pacific or having a close connection to the region.<br />

EXCLUSIVE: ASGVEC RECAP<br />

“This is a first in aviation. From what I<br />

know, a first in conference and trade<br />

shows. A first in the Metaverse.”<br />

One of the main features of the ASGVEC system itself was just how<br />

interactive it was. Rather than relying on external software or programs<br />

to have conversations, everything needed was built right into<br />

the ASGVEC system. This included the ability to turn on webcams, so<br />

it was very much like having face-to-face conversation with exhibitors<br />

or other attendees.<br />

Following the event we ran a survey, asking attendees to give their<br />

honest feedback about ASGVEC. Overall, attendees were excited to<br />

be part of the event, with the majority saying that they were already<br />

looking forward to the next time that ASGVEC will be held. Other feedback<br />

was that the event should be held every year, as well as earlier<br />

in the day for Asia. But the icing on the cake was that five companies<br />

said that they got new deals and one OEM said that it was following<br />

up on two active sales leads because of the event. That would be a<br />

great result for any event, but for the first time an event has been run<br />

it is not only remarkable, but also shows how much of a need there is<br />

for an event like ASGVEC.<br />

www.asgvec.com<br />

Not only was that great to see, but the show itself was<br />

informative and a much more enjoyable type of conference.<br />

Definitely the way of the future. Thanks.<br />

AIRCRAFT TRANSACTIONS<br />

By Wayne Starling, Executive Director<br />

The International Aircraft Dealers Association<br />

(IADA) embraces trustworthy international partners<br />

like <strong>Asian</strong> <strong>Sky</strong> Group and welcomes them<br />

into its growing global footprint. The organization we<br />

know today as IADA was formed in 1991, when eight of<br />

the United States’ leading aircraft dealers came together<br />

to assure aircraft buyers and sellers of the highest<br />

level of ethics, experience, standards, and trust. It had<br />

a strictly U.S. orientation.<br />

In the Beginning -- 1991<br />

Quoting OGARAJETS’ John Foster, a founding member of the group,<br />

“Everybody was tired of the ‘get rich quick’ people who were coming<br />

into our industry and trying to sell airplanes with far less ethics and a<br />

lot more baloney than you would expect to have. They were giving us<br />

a bad reputation and everyone wanted to be done with them,” he said.<br />

In addition to OGARAJETS, other first year member companies<br />

that are now IADA Accredited Dealers are known today as Gantt<br />

Aviation, Duncan Aviation, JBA Aviation, Leading Edge, General<br />

Aviation Services, QS Partners, and Eagle Aviation. Additional early<br />

members were Jack Prewitt & Associates, Aerosmith Penny, Austin<br />

Jet, Jet Transactions, Jim Markel & Associates, Express One, and<br />

Sacramento Aviation.<br />

Starting the National Aircraft Resale Association (NARA), as IADA was<br />

first known, was tough. It took a huge amount of time away from the<br />

founders’ businesses to get organized, and it cost a lot of money. It<br />

was a challenging time.<br />

“It was hard work. And as they say, it was probably the best of times.<br />

We had great, great synergy amongst us. We were very selective as<br />

to who we offered memberships. We wanted to make sure people had<br />

been in business. They had proven themselves to be good at what<br />

they did. They had the right business ethics and they were the kind of<br />

people we wanted to do business with,” Foster said.<br />

“And the amazing thing we saw then was how much great talent there<br />

was. Some of these people I had done business with. Some I didn’t<br />

know very well at all. It was just amazing how much synergy we had,<br />

and the care for our businesses and the care for our industry, and<br />

what great ideas came from all of these different people,” he added.<br />

That talent pool continues to mature. The organization now is a<br />

worldwide association of the best Aircraft Dealers, Brokers and<br />

aviation Product and Service companies that do business in over 100<br />

countries. The impact on the industry has been profound.<br />

A Dynamo Today<br />

Today, IADA has a thoroughly global view, reflecting its worldwide<br />

impact on the private aircraft transaction industry. IADA has created<br />

and implemented the first accreditation program for aircraft dealers,<br />

administered by an impartial third party to rigorous professional<br />

standards of expertise and ethics. The IADA imprimatur is as<br />

recognized within its industry as the Michelin Guide is to travelers<br />

around the world.<br />

As IADA celebrates its 30th anniversary, it has become a<br />

powerhouse global cooperative network consisting of the world’s<br />

only accredited dealers and IADA-certified brokers, major OEMs<br />

and industry leading verified products and services members. While<br />

IADA’s entry bar is high, there are now nearly 50 IADA-accredited<br />

dealers, over a hundred IADA-certified brokers, more than 60 IADA-<br />

FEATURE: IADA<br />

All that changed in 2018, when the aircraft transaction organization<br />

entered the global stage by upgrading its name and expanding its approach<br />

to a much wider global platform. The name change actually reflected<br />

the evolving realities of the private jet aircraft transaction marketplace,<br />

as it became truly global over the years.<br />

Now in the year <strong>2021</strong>, celebrating its 30th anniversary, what originally<br />

began primarily as that domestic operation has expanded its outreach<br />

to the entire world, wherever private aircraft operate successfully and<br />

change ownership hands with some regularity.<br />

IADA, which began as a way to fight against untrustworthy aircraft dealers,<br />

has undergone transformational changes and now leads the fight<br />

for transparency and integrity in airplane deals from a global platform.<br />

In truth, IADA has become an international force in the aircraft transaction<br />

space.<br />

verified products and services members, and nearly all the major<br />

OEM business aircraft manufacturers.<br />

Comprising only seven percent of the world’s business jet dealers,<br />

IADA dealers buy and sell more aircraft by dollar volume than the<br />

rest of the world’s dealers, averaging over 700 transactions and $6<br />

billion in annual volume. Between April 1, 2020 to March 31, <strong>2021</strong> IADA<br />

members actually registered over 1,200 global transactions, worth<br />

more than $10 billion. Importantly, this occurred during uncertain<br />

economic times in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic.<br />

Exclusive Online Marketplace<br />

AircraftExchange is IADA’s online marketplace and the industry’s<br />

premier source of exclusive aircraft for sale or lease by IADA dealers.<br />

IADA’s robust listing verification process ensures that, unlike some<br />

other online advertising venues, there are no duplicates, no phantom<br />

listings and no aircraft advertised that are not truly for sale.<br />

IADA and AircraftExchange’s global collective network improves<br />

the efficiency, transparency, integrity, and costs associated with<br />

preowned aircraft transactions. For more info about it, please go to<br />

IADA U<br />

IADA has also implemented IADA U, an online continuing education<br />

tool to keep certified brokers at the top of their game. Its curriculum<br />

includes coursework developed and taught by expert IADA Products<br />

and Services members who know their subjects inside and out.<br />

AIRCRAFT SPOTLIGHT: DASSAULT FALCON 6X<br />

DASSAULT AVIATION POSITIONS<br />

FALCON 6X AT TOP OF LONG-RANGE SEGMENT<br />

All-new aircraft designs are relatively rare in the aircraft industry. They must<br />

offer a real advancement in the state of the art to justify the investment. The<br />

all-new Falcon 6X does not disappoint. It is the largest and most comfortable<br />

aircraft in the long-range (more than 5,000 nm-plus/9,260 km) segment, and the most<br />

technologically advanced.<br />

A True Widebody Cabin<br />

The 6X introduces a new standard in long range cabins. With a<br />

width of eight feet six inches (2.58 meters) and height of six feet<br />

six inches (1.98 meters), it has the largest cross section of any<br />

business jet flying. It will be eclipsed in cabin size only by the<br />

Falcon 10X ultra-long-range jet now in development.<br />

The cabin is divided into three living areas, in part so that passengers<br />

on long flights can choose a spot for rest, work or dining. The<br />

6X can carry 16 in comfort, but typical passenger loads will be far<br />

smaller, allowing teams or families to really spread out and relax.<br />

Operators can customize each section according to their tastes,<br />

and also optimize certain areas for the type of mission they will<br />

fly. Those who routinely travel long distances can choose an extended<br />

entryway for more galley storage space and equipment.<br />

Opposite a longer galley, operators can opt for a crew rest area<br />

allowing a resting pilot privacy and the space to lie flat and get<br />

some quality off-duty time.<br />

At the other end of the cabin, operators can opt for private lounge<br />

or stateroom configurations so that passengers can also rest<br />

peacefully and have the privacy to change either into more comfortable<br />

flight attire or business clothes to look sharp upon arrival.<br />

A Healthier Cabin Experience<br />

Aircraft owners and their passengers are much more focused today<br />

on the health aspects of flying. Dassault anticipated these<br />

desires in the design of the 6X. Cabin air is refreshed continuously<br />

and run through hospital-grade HEPA filters for the healthiest<br />

possible experience. Cabin altitude pressurization is maintained<br />

at a low 3,900 feet (1,189 m), when cruising at 41,000 feet<br />

(12,497 m), greatly reducing fatigue.<br />

Dassault plans a cabin as quiet as the ultra-long-range Falcon 8X,<br />

which leads the industry in the sounds of silence. At an average of<br />

49dB, the 8X in flight is as quiet as a living room in the suburbs.<br />

54 | ASIAN SKY QUARTERLY — THIRD QUARTER <strong>2021</strong>


AIRCRAFT SPOTLIGHT: DASSAULT FALCON 6X<br />

The 6X’s spacious, ultra-widebody flight deck offers more headroom<br />

than the flight deck in any other business aircraft, and 30 percent<br />

more window space than previous models, providing greater<br />

situational awareness in the air and on the ground.<br />

The FalconEye Combined Vision System brings a new dimension<br />

of technology and safety to the 6X. It is the first Head-up Display<br />

(HUD) that combines images from a synthetic vision system (SVS),<br />

derived from database-driven terrain mapping, with images from a<br />

thermal and low-light enhanced vision system (EVS).<br />

An advance in Flight Deck Design<br />

Joined into a single view, FalconEye provides an unprecedented<br />

level of situational awareness to flight crews in challenging weather<br />

conditions and all phases of flight. FalconEye permits approaches<br />

to 100-foot minimums, providing a substantial operational benefit.<br />

Technology and Safety Innovations<br />

The 6X benefits from technology transfer from Dassault’s advanced<br />

Rafale fighter jet, with its finely tuned Digital Flight Control<br />

System. DFCS improves handling, safety, and ride in turbulent<br />

conditions.<br />

The 6X represents Dassault’s latest advance in digital flight control<br />

technology, managing primary and, for the first time, secondary flight<br />

control surfaces such as flaps and flaperons, as well as nose wheel<br />

steering for better tracking in gusty conditions and on wet runways.<br />

Defining New Performance Benchmarks<br />

With its high lift slats and flaps and a new and brawny Pratt &<br />

Whitney Canada PurePower PW812D engines, the 6X continues<br />

the Falcon tradition of strong short field/high and hot runway performance.<br />

Approach speeds can be as low as 109 knots, allowing<br />

operations at short fields under 4,000 feet (1,220 meters). The<br />

new-generation Falcon 6X wing allows for a wide speed envelope<br />

bounded by low-speed approaches and a top speed of Mach .90.<br />

The 13,000- to 14,000-pound thrust P&W Canada PurePower<br />

PW812D turbofan shares the proven, rigorously tested common<br />

core technology used in Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower® family of<br />

geared turbofan commercial engines.<br />

The new PW812D delivers a double-digit increase in fuel efficiency,<br />

with improvements in fuel burn, environmental emissions, engine<br />

noise, and operating costs, setting a new “green” standard<br />

for emissions with the advanced TALON X combustor.<br />

The company estimates a 40 percent reduction in maintenance<br />

costs versus other engines in this class. The 6X will also be able<br />

to fly with a 50/50 mix of sustainable aviation fuel.<br />

The 6X will have the longest range in its class, flying 5,100 nm<br />

(9,445 km) at high-speed cruise of Mach .85, or its 5,500-nm<br />

(10,186 km) maximum at Mach .80. It can fly from Paris to Beijing<br />

or Shanghai to Melbourne at high-speed cruise. Or Beijing to San<br />

Francisco at long-range cruise.<br />

The Category Leader Heads <strong>Sky</strong>ward<br />

Flight testing of the 6X began in March and now three aircraft<br />

are flying in the test campaign, which is expected to wrap up<br />

next year.<br />

Flight tests have also gone “quite smoothly,” with the jets showing<br />

“a high level of maturity relative to this point in a typical test<br />

program,” according to company reports. By early summer, more<br />

than 200 test hours had been flown.<br />

Dassault, which has invested heavily to expand its global service<br />

organization, is training technicians now to care for the new aircraft,<br />

in part by assigning senior techs from around the Dassault<br />

maintenance network to participate in supporting the test fleet.<br />

In recent years the factory service network has added TAG Maintenance<br />

Services and ExecuJet MRO Services to expand service<br />

coverage in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. It has strengthened<br />

spares support, field service and many other aspects of its<br />

vast service organization. As a result, the company now routinely<br />

ranks number one in independent industry surveys.<br />

With certification planned in 2022, big things are ahead for 6X customers.<br />

PRE-OWNED MARKET SPOTLIGHT<br />

Citation Sovereign/Sovereign+<br />

Market Analysis by Bowen Zhang<br />

Model Introduction<br />

As a mid-sized jet, the Citation Sovereign borrows from its several successful Citations predecessors. Using the same fuselage cross section from<br />

Citation XLS and Citation X, but with a brand-new wing, the Sovereign was designed to carry more passengers than its smaller siblings (Ideally 5-7<br />

passengers). Over the years it has established its own characters in cabin comfort, maintenance reliability, and needless to say – its remarkable<br />

short field capabilities.<br />

Introduced during the 1998 NBAA, the Sovereign spent six years in development before the first aircraft was finally handed over to the first customer<br />

in 2004. At its time of service entry, the Sovereign had a price tag of $14 million, roughly on par with its competitors of the time – the Hawker 850XP<br />

(and later the Hawker 900XP) and the Gulfstream G150.<br />

The PW306 engines installed on Sovereign offer 6,000 hours TBO (Time Between Overhaul), which is 1,000 hours longer than its main competitor,<br />

the Honeywell TFE731.<br />

The avionics platform on the Sovereign – the Primus Epic suite is the same that Gulfstream used on its G450/G550.<br />

One option for the Citation Sovereign does stand out. Transitional winglets were certified in 2017, offering an additional 300 nautical mile range at a<br />

price of 400,000 USD for modification.<br />

In 2012, with 349 Sovereigns in service, Cessna announced an upgraded version called the Sovereign+, with uprated PW306D engines and a longer<br />

wingspan with what Cessna calls “Swooplets” as opposed to traditional Winglets. A higher maximum fuel capacity helps boost the range of the<br />

Sovereign+ to almost 3,000nm, and the cockpit was modernized with the Garmin G5000 touch-screen avionics platform.<br />

From a market perspective – Cessna Citation Sovereign has always been a great product for continental flyers. It can fly for seven hours non-stop,<br />

with its 3,000nm range being enough to cover most domestic city pairs in the US.<br />

AIRCRAFT DELIVERIES<br />

Much like with the rest of the Citation line of business jets, the US<br />

market has always been strong for Citation sales. Overall, 71% (318<br />

aircraft) of all Sovereigns and Sovereign+ aircraft globally were delivered<br />

to customers in the US.<br />

The Sovereign has not been as successful in Asia-Pacific, partly due<br />

to regional preferences for larger cabin aircraft, but also because<br />

the Sovereign’s range means it would be difficult to fly international<br />

routes in the region.<br />

According to Amstat, NetJets is one of the largest operators of the<br />

Citation Sovereign, with 38 aircraft currently in its fleet.<br />

OPERATING COST<br />

According to Conklin & de Decker, for 500 hours flight time per year,<br />

the Citation Sovereign’s hourly variable cost is around $4,500 USD per<br />

flight hour. For the Sovereign+, it’s slightly less at around $4,400 USD<br />

per flight hour.<br />

Taking market depreciation into account, the annual fixed cost for the<br />

Citation Sovereign is around $3.5M USD and due to a higher slope<br />

of depreciation rate for newer aircraft, for the Sovereign+ model it is<br />

$4.3M USD per year.<br />

PRE-OWNED MARKET<br />

For the past five years the Sovereign market has been very active for<br />

both the baseline version, as well as the Sovereign+. Inventory levels<br />

have varied from a high of over 30 fleet for sale, to a current low of just<br />

over 10 aircraft for sale – vs. over 440 total fleet in operation currently.<br />

On average there have been around three Sovereign transactions completed<br />

each month, with demand being stable and high.<br />

Another way of putting its market condition is that due to a high market<br />

demand, its supply varies from a high of 9.1% of the total fleet, to a current<br />

new low of just over 3%. Looking at the inventory value chart, you<br />

could notice that the inventory value has been quickly consumed since<br />

<strong>Q3</strong> 2020, similar to the market for the Gulfstream G550.<br />

Due to natural aging and depreciation, the average asking prices for<br />

Sovereign’s has varied from $8 million USD in <strong>Q3</strong> 2016, to lower than<br />

$6 million today. As we entered into a sellers’ market we’ve seen newly<br />

listed Sovereign being labeled with relatively higher pricing, which<br />

caused the asking price to be slightly increased.<br />

For the Sovereign+ model, due to fewer aircraft being put on market<br />

for sale (on average four listings per month, with a high of ten aircraft)<br />

and fewer asking price points available, its market has not been as<br />

active as its older model, and we’ve seen less transactions completed<br />

per month.<br />

SUMMARY & FORECAST<br />

Cessna ceased Citation Sovereign+ production in <strong>2021</strong>, so aging<br />

could be an potential issue for future residual values of the aircraft<br />

currently in service. With the Sovereign+’s successor, the Citation Latitude,<br />

seeing its first deliveries in 2014, we could possibly foresee a<br />

market demand shift. However, given its robust design and capabilities<br />

amongst its class, the Sovereign series will continue to be popular<br />

in the market.<br />

The above chart reflects where certain aircraft models are positioned in<br />

terms of supply and demand (based on a ratio of completed transactions<br />

compared to the number of sellers and the average number of days on the<br />

market for a transaction to take place).<br />

For some model types, given the market indicators shown on the<br />

previous page, the stabilization in pre-owned asking prices and decline<br />

in inventory level appear to have stimulated increased demand, leading<br />

to an increase in transactions and a more balanced state of supply and<br />

demand.<br />

These indications do not necessarily mean that prices will be higher in the<br />

future, but it does indicate that sellers of these particular models are more<br />

likely to find willing buyers in a shorter period of time than the overall average.<br />

This can be seen most with certain Gulfstream (G200, G450, G550, G650),<br />

Bombardier models (Challenger 604/605 & Global 5000) and Dassault<br />

Falcon models (2000 Series and 7X), where more transactions are<br />

occurring relative to the number for sale, and transactions are requiring<br />

less time on the market for sellers to complete.<br />

The above chart provides a visual representation of the Supply /<br />

Demand Ratio of each aircraft model relative to the overall market,<br />

and is based on a ‘Marketability’ calculation for each particular model<br />

including the following four market indicators:<br />

When taking into account these four factors, most of the the large and<br />

medium sized jets, such as Challenger 600, Falcon 2000 & 900 Series,<br />

as well as the various Gulfstream models, appear better positioned to<br />

find buyers available, compared to corporate airliner models.<br />

1. The percentage of aircraft for sale relative to its fleet size.<br />

2. The number of aircraft sold relative to the average number for sale.<br />

3. The average days for sale relative to the overall market average.<br />

4. The momentum of the marketplace (represented by the trend<br />

towards supply and demand market equilibrium portrayed earlier).<br />

* Since 2019 <strong>Q3</strong>, ASG expanded its market research scope to include<br />

39 business jet models including light jet models as described in the<br />

report.<br />
