However, there were still 15 charter operators in Asia-Pacific with
more than three charter aircraft in their fleet. Among them, Lily Jet
underwent the most significant changes, reducing its charter fleet by
five aircraft for Part 135 charter operations, causing it to drop from
the fourth position last year to a ranking beyond the top 16. However,
these aircraft remain under Lily Jet’s operation but are no longer part
of its charter fleet.
It is also worth noting that a significant portion of the leading
charter operators fleets were not owned by charter companies.
Aircraft owners will frequently allow their management companies
to make their aircraft available when they are not using it, subject to
the owners being informed about each flight before its confirmed.
However, such aircraft may not always be available for charter
services, indicating that their availability can fluctuate. The benefit
of this setup is twofold: it boosts the availability of aircraft for
charter, thereby enhancing flexibility, and it enables aircraft owners
to offset some of their operational costs.
