 Business Aviation is gaining pace in Asia, with a host of new airports and bizav-friendly regulations coming into play in the coming year.
The Chinese have recently announced that as of next year, import duties for private owners of business aircraft will decrease from a whopping 23% to 6%. And Beijing, for example, has reduced approval times for private flight plans from six days to a mere three hours. It's no surprise that as all the Asian economies gain strength, the corporate elite are turning their attention to optimising business travel.
The momentum of this and more will be captured at Asian Aerospace in Hong Kong this September, where the Asian Business Aviation Association, in partnership with Reed Exhibitions, will host a special business aviation pavilion. To put the activities and ambitions of Asia's market into context, FlyCorporate has spoken to Mike Walsh, Vice President, Asia Jet, a private jet card fractional programme for the Asian travel market.
