AN INTERVIEW WITH HONGKONG JET<br />

This is largely because the details matter in the private jet business,<br />

Jiao says, noting that a large part of aircraft maintenance means<br />

ensuring every aspect of every jet is looked after in order to elevate<br />

the passenger experience.<br />

We need to make sure that<br />

our clients do not experience<br />

any issues; they have to be<br />

happy with the service that we<br />

provide. This helps to build trust<br />

and confidence, which is very<br />

important.”<br />

It is building both a solid brand and customer experience that<br />

makes his role as CEO both challenging yet highly rewarding, Jiao<br />

says. “I want Hongkong Jet to be the most successful regional<br />

private jet operator,” he says. “This is why most of my time and<br />

effort goes towards the company’s business development. I find this<br />

to be very important, not only for the company, but also personally.”<br />

in Hong Kong are in fact from the Mainland. This dwindling number<br />

of owners, adds Jiao, is having a knock-on effect on the Hong Kong<br />

market. “So the business aviation market all depends on Mainland<br />

China’s economic situation – because if it does recover and GDP<br />

reaches pre-pandemic levels, the market will make a comeback.”<br />

Service of the highest quality<br />

Unperturbed by the challenges in the way, Jiao is determined to<br />

continue offering the best – and only the best – service to Hongkong<br />

Jet’s customers. This, he says, is only achievable by always going<br />

to extra mile to meet the needs of each individual. “It’s our goal to<br />

supply our clients with the best aircraft and the highest level of<br />

service,” he says. “For example, in the event that one of our charter<br />

planes – which are already maintained and managed very well – isn’t<br />

able to meet the requirements or demands of our clients, we can<br />

arrange for another charter plane from one of our operators to fly in.”<br />
