AN INTERVIEW WITH HONGKONG JET CREATING OPPORTUNITIES An interview with Hongkong Jet Steering a private jet company through a pandemic requires one to simultaneously look inwards and also think outside the box, says Alex Jiao. The Chief Executive Officer of Hongkong Jet speaks to Global Sky Media about finding possibilities amid uncertainties in the world of business jets and why the industry is on the road to recovery. Jeremy Chan reports. 16 | ASIA-PACIFIC CHARTER REPORT <strong>2022</strong>
If there is anything the COVID-19 pandemic has taught Alex Jiao, Chief Executive Officer of Hongkong Jet, it’s that within difficulty lies opportunity. Indeed, as CEO of one of Hong Kong’s finest private jet companies, Jiao continues to lead the business through the turbulence and uncertainty that the pandemic and resultant travel restrictions have afflicted on the city’s business aviation industry over the last three years. However, by leveraging on their existing operations such as their aircraft maintenance service lines, all while maintaining their ethos of providing only the best service to each and every client, the company has been able to stay afloat, and ensure a steady flow of revenue. Their efforts have proven timely – with the city having scrapped mandatory hotel quarantine for all inbound travellers in September, the company is able to rely on the trust they have established with their customers over the years and ramp up flights once again. Established in 2009, Hongkong Jet commenced operations in 2011 and currently operates a fleet of three Gulfstream charter aircraft. The company also taps into its vast network of private jets through other business jet companies that comprise its group structure, which includes Deer Jet Co. Ltd., UAS, Asia Jet and Business Aviation Services Guernsey. This allows the organization to serve clients across the world in regions including Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Finding solutions Jiao has seen first-hand how the pandemic has shaken the aviation industry in Hong Kong since day one. “The past almost three years have been a difficult time for all Hong Kong-based business aviation operators,” he says. The ongoing border closures with the Mainland and the impact of the city’s more than two-yearlong quarantine measures, according to Jiao, have presented obstacles for both business and leisure travellers entering Hong Kong, and discouraged would-be travellers from flying out of the city. Instead of waiting for the situation to improve, Hongkong Jet zeroed in on its aircraft maintenance service line, which soon proved to be an invaluable source of funding. “Our aircraft management arm is still the main driver of revenue for the company,” adds Jiao. The company has a team of engineers not only in Hong Kong, but also in Mainland China and Southeast Alex Jiao Chief Executive Officer Hongkong Jet hongkongjet.com.hk ASIA-PACIFIC CHARTER REPORT <strong>2022</strong> | 17
