INTRODUCTION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Greater China business jet fleet grew rapidly over the last two years, rising from 203 business jets in 2011, to 371 aircraft as of year-end 2013. From 2007 to 2013 the Greater China business jet fleet has grown at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 34%, which is significantly higher than the global rate of 5%.
Of the 371 aircraft, 248 are based in Mainland China, 97 in Hong Kong, 15 in Taiwan and 11 are in Macau.
Demand for business jets is largely driven by robust economic growth, the rising number of high net worth individuals, increasing corporate profits, successful listing of public companies (IPOs) and government support. More and more companies are also increasingly using business jets as a tool to support corporate international growth and integration.
Despite the high growth rate, there have been several factors hampering the growth of business aviation in Greater China. These factors include airspace restrictions; limited regional aviation support infrastructure; a shortage of locally licensed private pilots; plus the difficulty and duration required to qualifying for an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) due to strict regulatory requirements. Other aspects affecting the pace of growth are taxation policies imposed on China-registered aircraft (import duty and Value Added Tax); the expenditure sentiment currently emanating from Beijing as dictated by the Chinese Central Government; and for foreign registered aircraft, operational challenges and costs in Mainland China.
Government support is a key factor in generating continued growth in the China business aviation industry. Some regulations and taxation policies in China are strict, but viewed as necessary by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) as a means to control the growth rate and ensure it is matched with sufficient infrastructure such as number of airports, Fixed Base Operations (FBO) facilities, Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) centers, air traffic control and other qualified aviation personnel. It is expected though that China will further ease some of the current barriers and allow the industry and its supporting infrastructure to grow in levels matching demand. China has 193 civil airports in service, of which 10 were completed in 2013. According to the CAAC, plans are to have 244 airports in service by 2020.
As China continues to ease its airspace flight regulations, more opportunity for smaller-sized business aircraft mainly used for domestic flights should appear in the future. However, the current preference to large cabin is expected to remain strong in the short term. As of year-end 2013, the Greater China fleet was strongly dominated by large cabin and long range aircraft.
China has the second largest economy in the world. It holds nearly 20% of the world’s population, 7% of the world’s billionaires and a 13% wealth annual growth rate, yet it holds less than 2% of the world’s business jets. The business aviation industry however is developing rapidly and signs of a maturing market are evident. Consequently, Asian Sky Group expects high growth to continue in 2014 as the business jet market in Greater China continues to develop and mature.

The Greater China business jet fleet grew by 21% during 2013 with the total number of aircraft reaching 371 at year-end 2013.
The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) market leader by number of aircraft based and operated in Greater China continues to be Gulfstream with a 38% market share, followed by Bombardier with a 30% market share.
Both Gulfstream and Bombardier’s market share remained unchanged compared with year-end 2012.
The largest market share changes in 2013 were registered by Embraer, Falcon and Hawker.
• Embraer’s fleet doubled in 2013 rising from 8 to 16 aircraft based in Greater China.
• Dassault Falcon’s number of aircraft rose by over 60% with 15 additional aircraft entering into service.
• The Hawker market share in Greater China decreased from 9% to 5%.
The Gulfstream G-550 and G-450 remain the most prevalent models in Greater China with 64 and 46 aircraft respectively representing 30% of the total fleet in numbers.
The model with the highest number of new aircraft delivered in 2013 was the G-450 with 13 new deliveries followed by the Falcon 7X with 11 new aircraft delivered.
Of significant importance, the proportion of pre-owned aircraft delivered in 2013 rose to 47%, clearly demonstrating the increasing acceptance of purchasing pre-owned aircraft. The remaining 53% were new aircraft deliveries.
The 5 largest operators (HNA Group, BAA, TAG Aviation, Metrojet and Jet Aviation) make up 55% of the total number of business jets based and operating in the Greater China region.
Of the 371 aircraft in operation, 73% are under the local registrations of China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The remaining 27% are operated under a foreign registry.
Aircraft 5 years old or younger, make up 62% of the fleet and another 20% are between 5 and 10 years old (based on year of manufacture).
While China’s business aviation market experienced robust growth in recent years, its preference for large cabin remained unchanged in 2013. Over 75% of the fleet in Greater China is in the large aircraft size category or above.

FLEET BREAKDOWN BY AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION
When considering the purchase of a business aircraft to be based in Greater China, selection of the country of aircraft registration can be a key decision.
Depending on the owner’s specific needs, there are many factors to be considered which may significantly affect the choice of registration, such as the primary routes the aircraft is intended to fly; the location of the aircraft’s base, the intended ownership period; operational and maintenance requirements; the desired operator; import tax and VAT aspects; aircraft residual values; variable costs and fees; financing requirements; and training requirements.
The operation of foreign-registered aircraft is subject to limitations in Mainland China under China’s ‘Rules Governing Foreign Civil Aircraft’. Limitations include restrictive routings, flight application processing time, application processing fees, airport access restrictions, landing and takeoff slots, and higher fees for navigation, landing, parking, ground handling and fuel.
Of all the aircraft based in Mainland China, 86% are China-registered. In comparison, only 29% of the aircraft based in Hong Kong are registered in Hong Kong.
As one would expect, the majority of aircraft in the Lite size category are locally registered while in the larger categories, they are mostly registered under foreign aviation authorities.

FLEET BREAKDOWN BY AIRCRAFT AGE DISTRIBUTION
Not too surprisingly, the Greater China business jet fleet is a young fleet. Over 60% of the fleet is under 5 years old, with the majority of these aircraft being long-range and large cabin aircraft.
The Greater China business jet fleet only started to grow significantly from 2003. The market initially belonged to the Mid-Size and Super Mid-Size category of aircraft. From 2010 onwards however, the Large category and up began their dominance.
Also of note is that Bombardier was one of the early pioneers in the Greater China market. In more recent years however, it has had to cede this advantage and see Gulfstream’s market share surpass its own. Other early pioneers like Cessna and Hawker have also suffered throughout the years, in this case due to a lack of products in the Large category and up.
The aircraft age distributions shown in the following charts are based on the aircraft’s year of manufacture (YOM) and therefore do not reflect the time of delivery and entry into service of pre-owned aircraft.

SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
Support Facilities - Bombardier
OEMs realize that a key factor in the buyers’ selection of an aircraft is the OEM’s local support infrastructure and regional presence. The following maps show each OEM’s maintenance facilities, training centers, completion centers and their locations in Greater China.
Another important part of the business aviation support infrastructure are FBO facilities and services. Airports in major cities in China, in a bid to attract more business aviation interest, have or are setting up business aviation terminals. Some airports have put in place special channels for business aviation passengers and some others, while having no dedicated facilities, are planning such facilities to support business aircraft requirements. Hong Kong, Macau and Taipei all have fully established FBO facilities in operation. The last map shows the current FBO facilities and their locations in Greater China.

* Fleet size for year-end 2012 is based on ASG revised numbers.
The Greater China business jet industry has been growing steadily over the past several years with 2013 achieving a 21% growth rate in terms of the number of business jets added to its installed fleet. This growth rate is significantly higher than the global business jet industry growth rate of under 5%.
Of note, 47% of aircraft delivered into Greater China during 2013 were pre-owned aircraft. This number is significantly higher than in recent years and is a sign of a maturing market plus demonstrates the growing acceptance and understanding of the value of pre-owned aircraft. Driving this pre-owned growth are concerns such as new aircraft delivery lead times, pricing and taxation.
Asian Sky Group expects 2014 to show comparable growth to previous years with expectations that the Greater China business aviation market will grow by 20% and reach around 445 aircraft by the end of 2014. This projection is based on orders placed in previous years and expected deliveries.
Hanging over the market in 2014 however, which may significantly impact the number of orders booked and therefore future deliveries, are the taxes and austerity measures put in place by the Central Government in Beijing. These measures will have a direct effect on buying sentiments. Additionally, the tax measures which introduce a more clearly defined tax structure for when business jets are imported into Mainland China, will result in more owners opting for countries of registration other than Mainland China. Given space constraints in Hong Kong and Macau, more buyers may opt for a Taiwanese registration which will still allow direct private flights between Taiwan and Mainland China.
