The total number of business jets in the Asia Pacific region reached 1,156 by the end of 2024, according to Asian Sky Group in its Business Jet Fleet Report YE 2024. This marked a modest increase of 1.2 per cent, ending a three-year decline amid a downward trajectory for four consecutive years in Greater China. Its fleet size shrank by 6.23 per cent year-on-year to 331 aircraft, with the mainland market experiencing a net reduction of 21 aircraft, emerging as the primary variable in the regional adjustment.
During this period of significant industry restructuring, Chinese business jet operator Sino Jet has maintained its forefront position with a fleet of 41 aircraft, securing the top spot in the region for the sixth consecutive time. It stands out as the only Chinese operator among the top five to show a strong fleet performance, with the company adding several new jets to its fleet in 2024, completing and upgrade of its fleet structure. Over 95 per cent of its fleet now consists of large business jets, with the Gulfstream G650 series exceeding 20 aircraft, making it the world’s largest G650 fleet operator.
Sino Jet holds dual Air Operator’s Certificates (AOCs) from both the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the Cayman Islands, allowing it to operate both domestically and internationally, and provides global service accessibility with operational bases in more than 20 key cities across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America.
