NOTE: 1. Offshore Registrations include Aruba, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Malta and San Marino.<br />

2. Others indicate any registration except for Local, US and Offshore.<br />

Australia (VH-), India (VT-), and mainland China (B-) were the most<br />

popular local registries for charter aircraft in Asia-Pacific at the end<br />

of June <strong>2023</strong>, with 61, 59 and 35 aircraft registered, respectively.<br />

The most popular registrations happen to be from the three<br />

countries with the largest business jet charter fleets in Asia-Pacific,<br />

with the the local registration rates of charter aircraft in these<br />

countries reaching 98%, 91% and 85%, respectively. Along with<br />

these countries/regions, the Philippines, New Zealand, Thailand,<br />

and Vietnam all have large percentages of locally registered charter<br />

aircraft—all of which are above 80%. In South Korea and Pakistan,<br />

all charter aircraft are registered in their own countries. Owing to<br />

local cabotage laws, many charter operators opt to register their<br />

aircraft locally. This strategy typically offers greater flexibility for<br />

conducting domestic flights and often results in fewer restrictions<br />

when applying for route permissions. Many countries/regions in<br />

Asia-Pacific still maintain a sizable number of US-registered (N)<br />

aircraft in their charter fleets. Frequent business exchanges with the<br />

United States have made U.S. registration (N) become very popular<br />

among Japan and Taiwan’s charter aircaft, accounting for 41% and<br />

33%, respectively. Hong Kong SAR and Singapore are two countries/<br />

regions that do not have any locally registered charter aircraft. Hong<br />

Kong’s current charter fleet is all registered offshore. More than 60%<br />

of Singapore’s charter fleet is registered in Australia, some of these<br />

aircraft serve both charter and medical purposes. The advantage<br />

of having the aircraft based in Singapore also includes faster<br />

repositioning to reach South Asia or East Asia.<br />
