EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

The Asia Pacific business jet fleet stood at 1,134 aircraft by year end 2015, a 6.2% increase over the prior year, and in 

line with most market forecasts. Overall, the region added 140 aircraft – 66 new and 74 pre-owned – but also saw 74 

aircraft leave. 

China remains the largest market in the Asia Pacific region with 300 business jets, though its growth rate was just 3.8% 

in 2015, reflecting a significant deceleration from previous years. A number of factors contributed to this deceleration, 

which are described in detail throughout this report. 

After China, the next two largest markets in the Asia Pacific region are Australia with 184 aircraft (7% growth in 2015) 

and India with 145 aircraft (4% growth in 2015). 

Hong Kong saw the largest number of aircraft added to its fleet in 2015, and increase of 16 business jets, which was 

partly a reflection of ongoing changes in the China market. 

Taken together, the key territories of China, Hong Kong, Australia and India represent over two-thirds of the region’s 

business jet fleet. 

The top three OEMs in the Asia Pacific region by market share are Bombardier, Gulfstream and Cessna, with 27%, 23% 

and 19% of the fleet, respectively. 

Examining only fleet additions in 2015, Bombardier saw the largest increase with 51 additional aircraft (28 new and 

23 pre-owned). The most popular added model across the region was the Global 6000, and the fastest growing size 

category was the ‘long range’ segment. 

The top 20 operators in the Asia Pacific region fly 35% of the fleet, with 9 of the top 10 being operators in Greater 

China. Australia and India have the most operators, but these markets are extremely fragmented where 70% and 67% 

of the operators have just a single aircraft. 

From an age perspective, the Asia Pacific region remains one of the world’s youngest, with 63% of fleet being less than 

10 years old (Hong Kong has the youngest and Australia the oldest fleet, on average). 

The US aircraft (N) registration is still the most popular in the Asia Pacific region, and is currently being utilized in at 

least 15 countries.

Introduced in October 2014 amid secrecy, fanfare and a 

surprise powered roll-out, the Gulfstream G500 is a longrange 

jet that offers an optimized package of performance, 

comfort and technology. Most notable among the aircraft’s 

attributes is its speed, the result of a highly swept wing and 

powerful, yet efficient, Pratt & Whitney Canada PW814GA 

engines. Taken together, this combination in the G500 plus 

its advanced airframe design propels eight passengers and 

their luggage to an altitude of 51,000 feet, 5,000 nautical 

miles (9260 km) at Mach 0.85, the perfect balance 

between altitude, range and speed allowing passengers 

to maximize every minute of their travel time. What’s 

more, the G500 offers segment-leading fuel efficiency that 

is 11 percent to 26 percent better than its competitors. 

Short takeoff distances mean the aircraft can also deliver 

outstanding performance when departing from demanding 

airports. 

All of that performance comes in a wide-body package 

that maximizes passenger comfort. The finished cabin, 

which measures 91 inches wide (2.41m) and 74 inches tall 

(1.93m), provides plenty of flexibility, with the ability to carry 

up to 19 passengers in three living areas. The aircraft’s 

uniquely shaped cross-section allows for generous elbow 

and shoulder room for seated passengers while also 

offering plenty of headroom for those moving about the 

cabin. Pedestal-mounted conference tables provide a 

stable work space that is height adjustable. A wealth of 

options means each living area can be tailored to create 

the perfect combination. The aircraft features both forward 

and aft lavatories and a full-sized galley that can be located 

in either the forward or aft portion of the aircraft unique 

to this class of aircraft. Ample storage space is prevalent 

throughout, especially in the baggage compartment, which 

offers 175 cubic feet of usable volume. 

The cabin environment is further enhanced by an industryleading 

cabin altitude of 4,850 feet/1,578 m at FL510 and 

100 percent fresh air that boosts mental alertness and 

productivity while reducing fatigue. With the quietest cabin 

in the industry, the G500 provides an ideal environment for 

work-related discussion or social conversation. The G500 

also offers the same panoramic oval windows found on the 

G650 and G650ER, allowing natural light to pour into the 

cabin and further enhance the passenger environment, 

making it perfect for getting work done or relaxing. If 

passengers want to watch a movie, they have their choice 

of options, with a high-definition entertainment system that 

can stream to 19 different devices simultaneously. 

In the G500 detail and personalized styling gets special 

attention too. Owners can choose from the finest materials, 

6 


such as handmade carpets of silk or cashmere, handstitched 

leather dyed to the color of one’s choosing, and 

wood veneers sourced from around the world. Gulfstream 

design teams will assist throughout the cabin design 

process, helping create an aircraft tailored to the owner’s 

needs and tastes, utilizing the most elegant materials 

available. 

In the flight deck, cutting-edge technology comes in 

the form of active control sidesticks and integrated 

touchscreen panels. 

The industry-first active control sidesticks offer enhanced 

safety and situational awareness over passive sticks 

through tactile feedback. The sidesticks enable direct 

pilot input to be transmitted to the actuators controlling 

flight surfaces. Electronic linking of the sidesticks enable 

the pilot and co-pilot to see and feel each other’s control 

inputs, which helps improve pilot coordination in the 

cockpit. 

Adding to the pilots’ more intuitive interaction with the 

aircraft are 10 integrated touchscreens, which help reduce 

the number of cockpit switches by 70 percent. These 

touchscreens will be used for system controls, flight 

management, communication, checklists and monitoring 

weather and flight information. 

The G500 is currently undergoing flight test, with four of 

five test articles already in flight. Together, the four aircraft 

have flown more than 700 hours, achieving a top speed 

of Mach 0.995 and a maximum altitude of 53,000 feet. 

On the ground, four labs are dedicated to ground testing 

and systems integration, with more than 43,000 hours of 

testing already complete. The G500 is expected to receive 

Federal Aviation Administration certification in 2017, with 

entry into service in 2018.

2015 OVERVIEW: ADDITIONS AND DEDUCTIONS 

The Asia Pacific region saw the net addition of 66 business jets in 2015, a growth 

rate of 6.2%. 

Underpinning this increase were 140 business jets entering the Asia Pacific 

region (split 47% / 53% between new and pre-owned additions), and a reduction 

of 74 aircraft leaving the region. 

The leading OEM by number of deliveries in 2015 was Bombardier with 51 

additional new and pre-owned aircraft additions (36% market share). This was 

followed by Gulfstream with 39 and Cessna with 16, for a 28% and 11% market 

share, respectively. 

Whereas Bombardier, Gulfstream and Embraer each delivered more new aircraft 

than pre-owned into the Asia Pacific region in 2015, Cessna and the rest of the 

OEMs all saw more pre-owned aircraft added into the region than new. 

Similar to the profile of added aircraft, of those that left the region, 25 aircraft 

were Gulfstream, 18 were Bombardier and 8 were Cessna, due in part to trade-in 

factors or owners deciding to upgrade but remain with the same OEM. 

The most commonly added business jet model to the Asia Pacific fleet in 2015 

(for both new and pre-owned deliveries) was the Global 6000, with a total of 15 

additional aircraft, followed by the G450 with 12, the G550 with 9, the Global 

5000 with 8 and the G650 with 7; further establishing that the Asia Pacific region 

is a ‘large cabin size and up’ business jet market. 

This was further illustrated by combined deliveries of the ‘Global family’ from 

Bombardier and the ‘G450/550’ family from Gulfstream: 23 Globals and 21 

G450s/550s. A key difference however is that 17 of the Global aircraft were new 

versus only 9 of the G450s/550s. The Global family also saw only 6 deductions 

whereas the G450/550 family saw 11, though some of these G450/G550 

reductions reflected new G650 deliveries and orders. 

The territories in the Asia Pacific region with the most activity in 2015 were Hong 

Kong and China, including for both deliveries and reductions. 

Another active pre-owned market was Australia with 18% of all added aircraft, 

and Singapore, which accounted for 16% of all deductions. As Australia is a very 

mature business jet market, it is not surprising to see a well-established and 

thriving pre-owned market.

2015 FLEET BREAKDOWN BY COUNTRY & SIZE CATEGORY 

With 66 net aircraft added to the Asia Pacific business jet fleet in 2015, the total fleet has now 

grown to 1,134 aircraft. 

The largest market is China, representing 26% of the total fleet (300 aircraft), followed by Australia 

with 16% (184 aircraft), India with 13% (145 aircraft) and Hong Kong with 12% (132 aircraft). 

Combined, the top 4 territories represent 67% of the total fleet. 

The top 3 OEMs in terms of market share are Bombardier with 27%, Gulfstream with 23% and 

Cessna with 19%, together representing nearly 70% of the total Asia Pacific business jet fleet. This 

1-2-3 ranking mirrors the net additions for each of the OEMs in 2015: Bombardier +33 aircraft, 

Gulfstream +14 aircraft and Cessna +8 aircraft. 

Examining the top 4 markets individually and the top 3 largest OEM’s in each by market share: 

• China Gulfstream 32%, Bombardier 25% and Cessna 13% - total 70% 

• Australia Cessna 40%, Bombardier 35% and Hawker 7% - total 82% 

• Hong Kong Gulfstream 47%, Bombardier 36% and Dassault 5% - total 88% 

• India Cessna 22%, Bombardier 22% and Hawker 21% - total 65% 

The three largest OEMs by market share represent 65% or more of the fleet in each of the top 4 

Asia Pacific markets. 

Bolstered by its diverse product range, Bombardier is the only OEM with a top 3 market share 

position in all 4 top markets, and leading to its overall market share ranking for the Asia Pacific 

region. 

Gulfstream’s long range aircraft and dedicated branding efforts have positioned it with the leading 

market share in the Greater China region, which includes 171 of its aircraft and represents 65% of 

its total Asia Pacific fleet. 

A similar mission profile and dedicated customer base to that of the United States has factored 

into Cessna’s leading market share in Australia. 

The Indian market is relatively fragmented compared to the other top markets, and as a result all 

three of the OEMs referenced above have significant but effectively identical market share. 

Given the significance of the China market and that 27% of its total fleet is made up of long-range 

category aircraft, it is not too surprising that for the total Asia Pacific region ‘long-range’ aircraft 

constitute the largest market share overall (with 24% of the total fleet). This is followed by the ‘large’ 

aircraft category with 22% (26% of the China fleet) and the ‘light’ aircraft category with 19% of the 

total fleet (41% of the Australian fleet).

Vice President International

Greater China and Mongolia

ASIA PACIFIC ASIA REGION PACIFIC BUSINESS JET FLEET REPORT – YEAR END 2015

Kevin Wu is the International Vice President, Greater China 

& Mongolia Sales for Textron Aviation. He also services 

as Chairman of the Asian Business Aviation Association 

(AsBAA) and Co-Chairman of the Aerospace Forum under 

the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in China. 

Wu’s 30-year aviation career had its seeds planted as early 

as his high school days when during the high education 

examination periods in China, he had to pick a field as 

his career. “Aviation at the time was a dream that was 

far out of reach of most ordinary people’s lives,” he said. 

Naturally drawn to breaking new ground and overcoming 

obstacles, Kevin saw opportunities where others saw 

hurdles. “I decided that it was worth taking the chance to 

apply into the aviation sector. If I applied, at least I would 

have a fighting chance,” recalled Wu. 

With a degree in Air Traffic Management from the 

prestigious Civil Aviation University of China (CAUC) in 

Tianjin, for the next six years following his graduation Wu 

honed his skills as an air traffic controller in the Xi’an and 

Guilin international airports. “It was during this time that 

I developed so many skills that are still serving me to this 

day, including clear, concise, and precise communications, 

self discipline, multitasking, having sound understanding 

of what’s happening around you, understanding other 

people, and able to quickly find a solution.” Wu also 

spent a considerable amount of time doing ATC on-the-job 

training at the Malmo and Arlanda International Airport in 

Sweden, as well as the Copenhagen International Airport 

in Denmark. All of these opportunities had offered him 

first hand exposure to the Western culture, broadening his 

scope in the industry that eventually became critical for his 

later endeavors. 

With China’s goal of establishing world class aviation 

standards in the 1990’s, Wu’s skills and broad 

international experience saw him become Senior Lecturer 

at the same university he had just graduated from six 

years prior. For the next five years, Wu trained some of the 

brightest and most ambitious minds that went on to serve 

China’s aviation industry, including air force ATC officers, 

as well as international ATC officials from Southeast Asia 

and Africa. At the same time, Wu became Deputy to ICAO 

Project Director, establishing training curriculums and 

courses that are still in place and taught to this day. 

Western, corporate environment of Lockheed Martin, but 

I enjoyed it,” says Wu. When asked about the challenges 

and obstacles that he had to overcome during this 

transition, Wu says that there were “language and cultural 

challenges, and the adjustment of understanding why 

people from different cultures think so differently. But 

that was the value I brought to the table too - my technical 

background combined with an understanding of both the 

East and the West, including from my experience abroad in 

Sweden.” 

After half a decade with Lockheed Martin, Kevin left 

as Business Development Director, Greater China 

Region to join Textron Inc., the global leader in general 

aviation, as VP for Strategy, Business Development and 

Government Affairs, and later transferred to the Cessna 

Aircraft Company to oversee North Asia for Sales & 

Market Development. Following Cessna and Beechcraft’s 

consolidation into Textron Aviation Inc in 2014, Wu 

currently leads and coordinates the sales, marketing, 

and customer service efforts in North Asia. “I see great 

prospects ahead for Textron Aviation. We are not just here 

to receive, but here to give and share. We have a strong 

team with localized insights that meet real demands,” says 

Wu. 

In Wu’s spare time, he continues to inspire and shape 

the next generation’s minds at the request of various 

universities, providing first class instruction and training. 

Wu also spends time inspiring the youth through AsBAA 

initiatives, most recently with visiting selected schools in 

Beijing, Tianjin, Chengdu, Nanjing, and Shanghai to provide 

seminars. In asking what advice he could give to the next 

generation, Wu says, “at first, try everything - learn as much 

as you can beyond your own designated major or subjects 

so that you become well-rounded. Then in the next few 

years, identify your real passions and gradually focus on 

one or two of them so that you become a specialist. Then 

when you have the opportunity, become a generalist so 

that you move into management with the solid foundation 

and insight of a specialist.” Wu reminds the youth that “In 

the end, all fields have their commonality in where they 

began. That is why you must take your time to find yours 

and nurture it.” 

By the time that Wu had 15 years of lecturing under 

his belt, he was Executive Director of the International 

Department at the Civil Aviation University of China, 

with extensive experience in U.S.-China programs and 

negotiations in both the government and private sectors. 

It was at this time that Wu found his next calling with 

the American global aerospace and defense company 

Lockheed Martin, where he served in sales and business 

development capacities. “It was perhaps the biggest 

change for me psychologically, making the switch from 

providing training programs at the CAUC to working in the

What has been your experience of the Indian General 

Aviation market? 

In the last 12 months, I have traveled extensively and had the 

opportunity to interact with most of the major OEMs. Over the 

last few years, it seems that most OEMs have seen India as a 

potential long-term market, but are fraught with caution given 

the need to create adequate infrastructure in order to realize 

the suppressed demand clearly present in the country. It is 

important for this perception to change for the better and the onground 

investments in airports & supporting ecosystems such as 

MRO will be the key to translating this promise into reality. 

India has one of the youngest and fastest-growing wealthy 

populations in the world. A recent report states billionaires in 

India grew 333% in the last 10 years, compared to the global 

average of 68%. This suggests that India is a strong and highpotential 

market for business jets but the question in people’s 

mind is about whether the infrastructure will enable some of this 

“suppressed demand” to manifest itself adequately or not. 

What do you see as some of the unique challenges or 

features of the General Aviation market in India? 

I see the same unique characteristic exhibited in India in General 

Aviation as I experienced for a decade in my previous industry 

(telecommunications): an extreme attentiveness to the pricefor-value 

equation. Indian owners (not just individuals, but also 

corporate clients) are extremely careful about money spent, even 

on an item such as a $20-$50M business jet. It is the DNA that 

is embedded in the Indian psyche, in that of its people, to not 

be profligate. Hence there is a compelling need to translate the 

promise of a brand or of great quality, into a clear and tangible 

value proposition for customers here. I think that also presents 

a great opportunity for an MRO like us, an upcoming challenger 

in the Indian market, to build a MRO of high quality & global 

standards, yet with a strong price-to-value offering. In our minds, 

high quality and efficient costs are not tradeoffs. One could 

lead to the other with the right attention to processes, quality 

standards, and through satisfied and motivated employees. 

The fleet fragmentation in India is also quite unique. In most 

markets, the top 10 types of jets make up 50-60% of the volume. 

In India, which has a total market of about 150 business jets, 

there are 50-60 different types of aircraft, with several aircraft 

types being just one or 2-3 of each type. This puts immense 

pressure on creating an associated ecosystem, whether it’s 

the outfitting of the internal team to manage operations, MRO, 

pilots, or even the regulator (who too has to invest in managing 

and understanding these multitude of aircraft types with limited 

resources). 

We also need to keep in mind that the high growth in domestic 

commercial passenger traffic in India is among the highest 

in the world. As per the DGCA, Indian airlines flew 81 million 

passengers in 2015, a 23% increase over 2014 (67.4 million). 

This growth is putting immense pressure on the available airport 

infrastructure in the country and it is a reality that General 

Aviation has to compete for this with commercial aviation. I think 

the airport authorities have done a great job, keeping pace with 

this growth so far, despite there being areas where they face 

criticism. Airports in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad 

are all world-class in terms of passenger amenities. What is 

missing perhaps is the scale to allow for creating the all-important 

ecosystem for MROs by way of earmarking specific space for 

hangars, parking bays, MRO back shops, warehouses, etc. 

How do you think the Government is responding to manage 

the demand on Aviation infrastructure in India? 

The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) is trying to implement clear 

steps to manage the growth of aviation. For the MRO industry 

in particular, there is a realization that most of the opportunity 

(estd 90%) of MRO on Indian aircraft is being lost offshore, both 

because of the high-quality and OEM-approved status of MROs 

outside India and the lack of infrastructure and high-capability 

MROs in the country. The issue is a dilemma because currently 

certain tax norms and customs duties are stacked against Indian 

MROs. But at the same time if no Indian MRO invests in creating 

significant capability, it may give the government little confidence 

to reduce existing taxes and duties. 

The recently released draft civil aviation policy (tabled in Oct 

2015) identified the need to correct long-pending issues such 

as the waiver of customs duty on toolkits, spares, equipment; 

exemption of service tax; and the reduction of royalties on MRO. 

Some of these have been ratified in the recently released Union 

Budget. Others, we hope, would follow in due course. 

What is the potential for the MRO industry in India? 

The total industry size is about $800 M at the moment and is 

expected to increase to $2B in 2020. Naturally 90% of this is 

commercial MRO, given the huge expectation for fleet growth (from 

currently 400 commercial aircraft to 1000). Today around 90% 

of this is ‘exported’ out of the country. The short-term opportunity 

for Indian MROs is to retain a significant portion of this business 

in the country, but that would mean investment in capability to 

at least match that of neighboring MROs such as in Dubai & 

Singapore. In the long-term I believe that India can, and should, 

capitalize on two significant advantages – its geographical 

positioning within Asia-Pacific; and perhaps more importantly, its 

young, trainable workforce which can deliver quality efficiently. 

What do you see as the short-term strategy for MROs such 

as your organization? 

I would hesitate to say there is a short-term strategy that is 

different from the long-term, since the aviation business overall 

is a capital-intensive, long-cycle industry. I would say the path is 

the same – build stellar quality and infrastructure, while investing 

judiciously and in a phased manner; invest in people, systems 

and processes; and keep customer service and satisfaction at 

the heart of it all. 

Above all, I believe that the Indian MRO industry must first 

collaborate, then compete given the small size of the available 

market today. Poaching (clients, employees) from each other will 

only lead to a race to the bottom. We must first help to generate 

enough confidence in potential buyers so as to make incremental 

aircraft purchases, then we can compete once the pie grows!

2015 GROWTH BY OEM, SIZE & COUNTRY 

The Asia Pacific region grew a net* 6.2% in 2015 with the addition of 66 aircraft. 

Even though New Zealand had the highest growth rate (50%), surprisingly Hong Kong was the territory 

which added the most net aircraft (16 aircraft) throughout the region. So despite all the operational 

challenges in operating to and from HK International Airport, the appeal of Hong Kong as a business 

jet base remains strong. 

China, the largest business jet market in the Asia Pacific region, continued its slowdown from a high 

in 2012 to growth of just 4% in 2015. In contrast, the 2nd biggest market in the Asia Pacific region 

– Australia – experienced a healthy growth of 7%, and the 4th largest – Hong Kong – 14% growth. 

The smaller markets of Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan all added additional aircraft and in 

doing so, all experienced double digit growth. Notably, markets which performed poorly in 2015 were 

Malaysia and Macau, both of which actually contracted, and South Korea, Thailand and Singapore 

which all remained stagnant registering no growth at all. 

The best performing OEM in 2015 in the Asia Pacific region by growth rate was Airbus with a 21% 

increase of its fleet. However, in regards to the most net aircraft added, this honour goes to Bombardier 

with 33 additional aircraft in total, thus achieving an impressive growth rate of 12%. Gulfstream was 

second with 14 net aircraft added and a corresponding growth rate of 6%. Hawker was the only OEM 

which saw its Asia Pacific region fleet contract, which it did by 5% in 2015. All other OEM’s fleets grew 

from 3% to 6%. 

Honours also go to Bombardier for the most popular aircraft model added to the region, which was the 

Global 6000 with 13 more aircraft added throughout 2015, for an impressive model fleet growth of 

59%. The second highest growth was for the G650/650ER from Gulfstream with 8 additional aircraft 

added in total for a remarkable +62%. 

Given the growing popularity of the G6000 and G650, it’s not too surprising that the Asia Pacific 

region size category growing the fastest in 2015 was the ‘long-range’ category with 11% (+27) more 

aircraft. The ‘large’ category fleet also performed well with growth of +7% in 2015 - a net addition of 

17 aircraft, generally either Challengers or G450s. 

The only size category where the fleet contracted in 2015 was the ‘medium’ category – a drop of 2% 

– and this was despite some strong growth in the Asia Pacific region for the G280. 

* Net = New aircraft deliveries & pre-owned additions less aircraft that left the region (deductions).

GREATER CHINA 

GREATER CHINA OVERVIEW 

Greater China (China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) is the largest business jet market in the Asia 

Pacific region. It therefore warrants its own special section and analysis. It is also the market that 

ASG has followed the longest – since 2012. 

In 2015, Greater China only added 29 net aircraft – 39 new deliveries, 28 pre-owned deliveries but 

38 aircraft also left the region. This total of 29 is down 50% versus 2014. The pre-owned additions & 

deductions have only marginally changed versus 2014 (up 8% and 9% respectively). So 2015’s poor 

performance is strictly due to a decline in new aircraft deliveries which were 28 fewer than in 2014, 

a drop of 42%. 

New aircraft deliveries peaked in 2014 with an addition of 67 new aircraft. Given that new deliveries 

are a consequence of OEM orders placed years before, these deliveries were probably the result of 

orders placed before 2013 and prior to the implementation of certain PRC Government initiatives and 

policy actions which decreased the demand for new business jets. 2015’s drop of 42% in new aircraft 

deliveries is therefore a worrying sign for 2016 and on, as it would seem to signify that the OEM sales 

funnel for Greater China has little backlog. 

Of the 29 additions, Hong Kong was responsible for 16 aircraft, China 11, Taiwan 3 and Macau’s fleet 

contracted by 1 aircraft. 

On a net basis in 2015, the most popular aircraft addition in Greater China was the Global 6000 (+7 

aircraft) followed by the G650 (+6 aircraft). 

Looking just at new aircraft deliveries, Gulfstream was the OEM who delivered the most aircraft into 

Greater China in 2015 (+15 aircraft), and the top 4 aircraft models delivered were the Global 6000 

(+6), G650 (+5) and the Challenger 605 and G550 (+4 each). Deliveries of most other models were 

similar or down from 2014. 

For pre-owned additions, again Gulfstream had the most deliveries (10 aircraft) and the most popular 

types were the G450 (+6 aircraft) followed by the ACJ319 (+3 aircraft). 

Gulfstream suffered the most deductions too in 2015 (-15 aircraft) with the prevalent models leaving 

the Asia Pacific region being the G550 (-5 aircraft), Global Express XRS (-4 aircraft), the G450 and 

G200 (both -3 aircraft each). 

Examining the operators in Greater China, those which saw significant gains in 2015 included BAA, Jet 

Aviation, SinoJet and Hong Kong Jet. Those that saw decreased results were Deer Jet, TAG Aviation 

and Metrojet (however it should be noted that Hong Kong jet is a division of Deer Jet, so considering 

the combined group’s results, Hong Kong Jets’ gains functioned to minimise the impact of reduced 

mainland activity on Deer Jet’s fleet.

2015 Growth & 2016 Forecast 

GREATER CHINA 

The Greater China market has seen its business jet fleet growth rate decline for 3 consecutive years now – from a high 

achieved in 2012 of almost 50% growth, to a mere 6.6% in 2015There are early signs from 2016 though that business 

aviation activity levels are picking up: 

• ASG’s market survey for its 1st quarter 2016 “Quarterly” magazine, saw 33% of the respondents from Greater China 

report that their aircraft utilisation had increased versus the last quarter of 2015. Also those reporting their aircraft 

utilisation decreased shrunk to 39% versus 49%. 

• Business aviation activity levels at Shanghai’s 2 airports – Pudong & Hongqiao – are up over 30% versus a year ago. 

January & February 2016 were the strongest start to a year ever with nearly 900 movements. 

Examining the growth in Greater China further, it is essentially Hong Kong & Taiwan propping up the numbers in 2015 

with 14% and 16% growth respectively. China’s growth itself was a mere 3.8% in 2015, down from 26% in 2013, and 

Macau contracted by reducing its fleet by 1 aircraft. 

The OEM with the highest fleet growth in Greater China in 2015 was Boeing with 36%, and the only OEM who grew more 

in 2015 than in 2014 was Airbus with its fleet increasing 16%. Given these 2 growth rates, it is no surprise that the 

‘corporate airliner’ size category was one of the highest growing segment in 2015 at 11%. 

But the facts above are not necessarily good news for business jet sales in Greater China and in ASG’s opinion, don’t 

project well for 2016 and on. Business jet fleet growth in Greater China in the past came from the ‘long range’ and ‘large’ 

size market segments, not the ‘corporate airliner’ one. In particular, growth used to come from the G550s, Falcon 7Xs, 

Global 6000s and G450s being added to the fleet, not ACJs and BBJs. But in 2015, the markets for G550s and F7Xs 

were stagnant, the G450 only added 5 aircraft, and although the Global 6000 had 7 net additions, it alonecould not 

make up for the ground lost in other markets. 

ASG sees a difficult year ahead in 2016 and no growth recovery in Greater China. The expectation is that business jet 

fleet growth will continue to decline but be moderated somewhat by continued positive activity levels in the pre-owned 

market. ASG is forecasting a high of 5.2% growth for 2016 but this could go even lower depending on China’s economic 

performance.

2015 OPERATOR OVERVIEW 

The top 20 operators in the Asia Pacific region fly 35% of the total business jets, with 9 of the top 10 

being based in Greater China. 

Australia has the most number of operators with 105, followed by India with 91 and then China with 

54. But in Australia and India, the largest operator has a fleet of just 10 and 11 aircraft versus Deer 

Jet in China which operates 59 aircraft. 

The Australian and Indian markets are extremely fragmented with 73 and 61 operators in each country 

flying just 1 aircraft. The top 5 operators in China operate 55% of the local fleet. In Hong Kong, the 

top 5 represents 68% of the fleet. The top 5 operators in Australia and India represent only 21% and 

22% of their respective fleets. 

Examining the top 10 operators in more detail: 

• BAA added 9 aircraft in 2015 for a total of 54 aircraft and now operates by far the largest fleet of 

F7Xs in the Asia Pacific region (11 aircraft), as well as 18 Gulfstream aircraft. BAA’s fleet is split 

83%/17% between China and Hong Kong. 

• Jet Aviation added 7 aircraft for a total of 39 aircraft, of which 25 are Gulfstreams, including 5 

G650s. Jet Aviation’s fleet is largely based in Hong Kong (72%), but it also has aircraft based in 

Australia (1), Indonesia (3), Japan (3), Macau (1), Malaysia (1) and Singapore (2). 

• SinoJet also added 8 aircraft for a total fleet of 18 aircraft but operates 11 different models. Its 

fleet is split 44%/56% between China and Hong Kong. 

• Hongkong Jet added 7 aircraft for a total of 19 aircraft and is the largest operator of single aisle 

corporate airliners with a fleet of 4 Airbus’ and 4 Boeings. Its fleet is largely based in Hong Kong 

(11 aircraft) but it also has aircraft based in China (6) and Indonesia (2). 

• Deer Jet’s fleet shrank by 9 aircraft to a total of 59 mainly through a reduction in older Gulfstreams 

(GIVs and GVs) and Hawkers (800s and 900s). Deer Jet still remains a huge Gulfstream operator 

with 40 aircraft in its fleet. Its whole fleet is based in Mainland China. 

• TAG Aviation saw its fleet contract by 4 aircraft to 45 – F7Xs and Challengers mostly. TAG’s fleet 

remains dominated by Bombardier models (22 aircraft) and is the most diversely based with 

aircraft under management in 8 countries in the Asia Pacific region: Hong Kong (15), China (14), 

Singapore (7), Cambodia (3), Malaysia (3) and also Indonesia, Macau and The Philippines with 

1 aircraft each. 

• Metrojet lost a net 5 aircraft through 2015 to end the year with a fleet of 30 aircraft. Most of 

the losses were Bombardier aircraft. Metrojet operates 19 Gulfstreams, including 3 G650s. 26 

aircraft (87%) are based in Hong Kong, with the remaining aircraft being based in the Philippines. 

• China Eastern’s fleet contracted by 2 aircraft in 2015, down to 14 in total. Its fleet is dominated 

by the Legacy 650 and G450/G550 family with 5 aircraft of each. Its fleet is based in China. 

• Lily Jet grew by 1 aircraft in 2015 to 13 in total. 11 aircraft in its fleet are Bombardier models 

including 5 Challenger 800/850s with 11 aircraft are based in China and 3 in Hong Kong. 

• Execujet has a fleet of 18 aircraft, spread amongst 5 different bases, with the biggest fleets being 

in Australia (8) and Singapore (5).

Hawker Pacificker Pacific Aircraft Management 

The Hawker Pacific Aircraft Management team is 

made up of aviation specialists whose combined 

aircraft operations experience spans more than 

200 years and 5 continents. The company’s 

state of the art Operations Control Centre in Singapore 

is in charge of managing the fleet around 

the clock, serving as the center for its clients 

aircraft that are based throughout the region, including 

in cities like Sydney, Singapore, Jakarta, 

and Manila. 

Senior Vice President Patrick Enz, who has 

spearheaded Hawker Pacific’s Aircraft Management 

services out of Singapore since 2012, says 

the group’s heritage dates back to 1978 and 

Hawker Pacific’s name comes from the entrepreneurial 

activities of Australian aviation pioneer 

Harry Hawker. 

Hawker Pacific’s basic mission is to find solutions 

for aircraft owners’ needs. It delivers a 

full service that combines the mentality of traditional 

private banking with a modern asset 

management approach. The company focuses 

on its clients’ global travel needs, helping aircraft 

owners find the most effective ways to take the 

hassle out of aircraft ownership and protect the 

value of their investment. “The company at all 

times represents the owner’s interests and offers 

full transparency of operational costs, with 

no markups, commissions, or added fees, as it 

brings clients the peace of mind that comes with 

a tailor-made solution,” says Enz. 

Patrick Enz, 

Senior Vice President 

Hawker Pacific’s Operation Management System 

integrates the latest quality and safety systems to 

ensure consistent levels of product and service 

delivery. Hawker Pacific’s administration offers 

customers a snapshot of operations and financial 

data along with the status of past and upcoming 

maintenance inputs at all times. These 

quality services are delivered through a modular 

approach to aircraft management tailored to fit 

each individual situation. These modules can be 

combined to take a customer from aircraft evaluation 

through the purchase and delivery stage 

to aircraft operation, and can even be extended 

to include the stage of aircraft re-evaluation and 

sale, when that time comes. 

70 


With such extensive services customized to a client’s 

particular needs, the aircraft owner can enjoy all the 

prestige, flexibility and convenience of private aircraft 

ownership while minimizing the complex and time-consuming 

tasks involved with the operation, administration 

and meeting regulatory requirements. 

The services Hawker Pacific Aircraft Management offers 

span the full range of needs any aircraft owner will 

encounter over his or her’s years of owning an aircraft. 

Hawker Pacific’s dedicated team of experts help aircraft 

owners monitor their aircraft’s utilization and maintenance 

planning functions; bring professional oversight 

to the maintenance performed on the aircraft; review 

Airworthiness Directives and OEM Service Bulletins; 

monitors the performance of flight crews; ensure that 

all records and regulatory requirements are completely 

compliant; offer financial and accounting services; introduce 

competitive insurance solutions, and most importantly, 

assist the client in all their trip planning needs. 

The customer’s flight activities are managed through a 

sophisticated flight operations system that provides secure, 

round-the-clock access to all the aircraft’s details, 

while allowing pilots and crew to update flying hours and 

relevant information from any point on the globe. 

about the specific needs of his Asian customers, Enz replied, 

“In Asia, end users tend to utilize their aircraft for 

private use rather than just as a business tool. For this 

reason, we tailor our services to cater to their personal 

requirements. For instance, we have a customer who 

prefers that the flight attendant prepares and cooks 

complex meals on-board, or procures their favorite dishes 

from a specific restaurant. Every crew is assigned 

one aircraft only, and Hawker Pacific is committed to 

going the extra mile for our customers.” 

Hawker Pacific’s investment and focus in the region 

gives it a competitive advantage in the dynamic Asia-Pacific 

market. It will be exciting to see this company’s 

plans become a firm reality in the upcoming years, given 

a steadily growing market at its doorstep and Hawker 

Pacific’s ability to deliver a turn-key solution to suit any 

Aviation customer’s needs. 

Enz points to Hawker Pacific’s competitive advantage, 

saying “Hawker Pacific is a market leader in integrated 

civil and military aerospace sales and product support 

in South East Asia, Australia, the Pacific and the Middle 

East and is one of the largest independent companies 

of its type in the region with over 700 employees. The 

company’s Asian operations include established businesses 

in Singapore, China, the Philippines, Thailand, 

Indonesia and Malaysia. Hawker Pacific has the whole 

package to deliver a turn-key solution to end users.” 

When asked where he expects Hawker Pacific’s Aircraft 

Management business to be in the next five to ten 

years, Enz says “We started our aircraft management 

business in 2012 and have assembled a team that 

provides a seamless service that takes the burden of 

out aircraft ownership for the owner. So far, we have 10 

management and support contracts in the region and 

are quite optimistic with growing 3-4 contracts per year.” 

Hawker Pacific is the only full service aircraft management 

provider based in Singapore offering also in-house 

maintenance and hangarage services. When we asked

Gulfstream has a long history of seeking the best 

combination of speed, comfort and efficiency to meet 

customer’s demands. In the newly crafted G600, 

Gulfstream’s goal was to combine new wing technology 

and airframe advances, new engines and a uniquely 

shaped cabin to transport travelers 11,482 kilometers 

at a speed of Mach 0.85, faster than any aircraft in its 

class. And Gulfstream intended to do all that without 

sacrificing fuel efficiency or passenger comfort. 

The G600 has certainly risen to the challenge. With a 

maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925 and a longrange 

cruise speed of Mach 0.8, frequent flyers in the 

G600 will save hours of flying time per year. The G600 

also maximizes efficiency with an advanced wing design 

and a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada engines, which 

can operate for 10,000 hours between overhauls. 

These engines feature greatly reduced noise levels 

and emissions, which ultimately lower operating costs 

and ensure the aircraft will continue to conform to 

environmental standards. 

The G600’s cabin is 2.41 meters wide and 1.93 meters 

high, the optimal size and shape to promote a balance 

84 


of speed and efficiency. The G600 can be configured with up to 

four living areas in its 13.77 meter long cabin, offering options 

for either a forward or aft galley, and even the possibility of a 

shower. The 68.5 centimeter wide seats offer plenty of space 

to spread out, and the divans and seats can all be converted to 

beds for sleeping. Conference tables can be added for meetings 

or dining. There are 10 individual cabin designs for living areas 

that owners can opt for, making the jet completely configurable 

for a variety of needs, including work, leisure, dining, or sleep.

The cabin can also be designed to reflect the owner’s unique 

style, choosing from hand-woven rugs, bamboo flooring, and a 

wide variety of colors for the upholstery. High definition monitors 

serve both business and entertainment needs, while satellite 

communications and the optional Broadband Multilink (BML) 

high-speed data system make staying in touch a breeze. 

The Gulfstream Cabin Management System gives travelers 

control of lighting, window shades, temperature and 

entertainment through touchscreen devices. The G600 is 

engineered to provide a quiet journey, keeping the air fresh and 

atmosphere serene with its low cabin altitude. The cabin is so 

quiet passengers can converse in normal voices, even when 

flying near the speed of sound. 

The Gulfstream G650, from which the G600 was developed, has 

long been a favorite in its class of business jet. With the release 

of the newer, better G600, customers are sure to be that much 

more impressed by its perfect blend of comfort, speed, and 

efficiency.

2015 OVERVIEW: FLEET AGE & REGISTRATION 

The vast majority (63.2%) of the business jets in the Asia Pacific region were manufactured in 2006 or 

later i.e. are 10 years old or less. Only Cessna, Bombardier and Boeing have more than 30% of their 

Asia Pacific Region fleet which is older than 10 years old. 55% of Cessna’s fleet is older than 10 years, 

40% of Bombardier’s and 36% of Boeing’s. 

The business jet fleet in Greater China is very young – 87% of the aircraft based in Hong Kong are less 

than 10 years old and 78% of the aircraft based in Mainland China are less than 10 years old. For 

Japan, the percentage less than 10 years old is 87%, Taiwan 73%, South Korea 70% and New Zealand 

67%, which also illustrates the newness of business aviation in these various markets. 

Looking at the average age of markets and fleets, Hong Kong has the youngest fleet with an average 

year of manufacture (YOM) of 2010 and Australia has the oldest with an average YOM of 1997. For 

the OEMs, Embraer has the youngest fleet with an average YOM of 2010 and Cessna has the oldest 

fleet with an average YOM of 2001. 

The top 4 registrations in the Asia Pacific region are China, the USA, Australia and India. Not including 

the US, the top registrations match the top business jet markets, with 23% of the Asia Pacific Region 

fleet being Chinese registered, 14% Australian and 13% Indian. 

However, a US registration (“N” registered aircraft) is still the most popular with aircraft based in 15 

countries across the Asian Pacific region. The next most popular foreign registries are Cayman, Isle 

of Man and Bermuda. The appeal of these registration are their low costs, ease of registration and 

operation flexibility.

Legal Firms 

Involving an experience lawyer or law firm in the early stages of an aircraft sales and purchase is key to minimise both costs and potential problems 

relating to the aircraft for the long run. Aircraft transactions are complicated and involve a sizable number of documents, including sales and 

purchase agreement, financing agreement, aircraft management agreement, and all specification, registration, and importation documents, just 

to name a few. Due to the unique nature of aircraft transactions, industry experts and specialists in both the legal and commercial aspects of 

transactions will be needed to scrutinise each transaction to ensure that seller or buyer’s legal interests are best protected and the best commercial 

terms are obtained. 

ASG iaises with top law firms when legal services are required, and thereby ensures a smooth transaction both legally and commercially.

Eric Gillespie, 

Vice President 

Business Development 

Flying Colours Corp. has built an international reputation since founder John 

Gillespie repainted his first King Air just over thirty years ago. It is now a global 

aviation company providing a service led by the core philosophies of technical 

innovation, business integrity and service flexibility. This has underpinned the 

work ethic at the family owned-and-run business. At its Peterborough, Ontario 

headquarters in Canada the company specializes in green completions, interior 

refurbishment, maintenance, component services, avionics installations and 

upgrades and, staying loyal to its roots, exterior paint work. 

In 2015, the company launched Flying Colours Corp. Asia PTE when Bombardier 

Aerospace selected the company to provide full service interior refurbishment 

capabilities on Learjet, Challenger and Global business jets at Bombardier’s 

wholly owned Singapore Service Centre located at Seletar Airport in Singapore. 

“The local facility brings real benefits to aircraft owners and operators in the 

region who no longer have to experience lengthy downtimes whilst aircraft are 

sent to Europe or the USA for interior upgrades. With our local base we are 

fulfilling a strong market demand,’ says Eric Gillespie, VP Business Development. 

Since opening, the facility has worked on over 50 aircraft supporting a range of 

projects including refurbishing and refinishing woodwork and cabinetry, repairing 

and restoring upholstery, and upgrading interior furnishings. The aim is to 

employ a mainly local workforce with each employee benefiting from a specially 

developed three-month training program in Canada. Through additional on- 

114 

ASIA PACIFIC ASIA REGION PACIFIC BUSINESS JET FLEET REPORT – YEAR END 2015

the-job training and specific aircraft project-led work, it is 

expected employees will then become proficient in all the 

interior skills currently provided by Flying Colours. “We 

are always looking for the right candidates and are keen 

to ensure their development. Right now the skills needed 

to deliver the quality expected for Bombardier aircraft are 

rare, which is why we wanted to recruit team members who 

really understood the challenges and could rise to them,” 

said Gillespie. 

Flying Colours has extensive experience in Asia. It has 

completed or refurbished for Asian clients over 30 aircraft 

of the certification paperwork, registration process, STCs 

and extensive modification knowledge complements our 

partnership and supports our ambitions to further develop 

our business in the region,” says Gillespie. The next three 

aircraft are currently in process and are expected to be 

finished by the autumn. 

The final five will be redelivered in a Flying Colours CRJ 

ExecLiner VIP format with a 15 seat configuration, a 

style mirroring a Bombardier Challenger 850. The CRJ 

ExecLiner is a format developed by Flying Colours that has 

already proved popular in the Asian region with a dozen 

in the last four years, including a number of special 

mission projects. In 2014 it confirmed its strong position 

in the Asian market when it announced a joint venture with 

China-based Sparkle Roll Technik Co., Ltd. (“SRT”), a total 

technical solution provider for business aviation based 

out of Beijing, China. The partnership launched with the 

ambition of converting eight B-registered CRJ-200 regional 

jets into VIP configurations. 

The first of the aircraft has just been completed with a 

mixed class shuttle format. Sparkle Roll and Flying Colours 

jointly created the striking cabin, incorporating black 

furnishings and rose gold accents. The cabin has been 

divided into three separate areas incorporating a 20-seat 

economy section, a central two double club layout, and a 

three seat divan alongside a double club business class 

seat in the front cabin. An aft lavatory and small forward 

galley complete the layout. 

The Chinese Civil Aviation Authority (CAAC) awarded a 

new STC for the format and certified the B registered 

aircraft. “As far as we know, this is the first time that a 

B-registered aircraft has been reconfigured outside of 

China and then returned on the same registry with all the 

approvals obtained outside of China. Our understanding 

of the aircraft type already delivered. The VIP jets will 

incorporate an advanced inflight entertainment system 

and the installation of a supplemental fuel auxiliary system 

engineered by Flying Colours Corp. specifically for CRJ 

conversions. 

During the conversions, a team of three SRT technicians 

have been, and will continue to be, present on site in 

Canada to learn the skills and techniques required to 

complete the cabin to the high standards expected by 

private jet passengers. ”We think it’s important to share 

our technical expertise with our partners in Asia. The 

region has huge potential and we are proud to continue to 

strengthen the human resource infrastructure.” 

Looking to the future, Flying Colours Corp. continues to 

bolster its team with new sales, engineering and technical 

representatives joining on a regular basis. “We have a 

unique position in the aviation environment and we intend 

to continue growing our Asian customer base whilst, 

of course, remaining focused on our existing loyal and 

valuable customers,” concludes Gillespie.
