Private Jet Market Begins to Grow in China as Proven at ABACE

The 2013 Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE) was recently held in Shanghai at the Hongqiao International Airport from April 16^th to the 18^th. While China still has a long way to go to obtain the benefits of business aviation, there are steps being taken to nurture the industry. NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen said ABACE 2013 represented a “milestone” event, and he thanked the Shanghai Airport Authority and “a visionary number of leaders here in Shanghai and throughout the Chinese government.” The event was considered a success, as visitor numbers were up 20 percent and exhibitors were up 15% from last year.

While there are many supporters of improving business aviation in China, there are a few problems and restrictions presented.

Cities with high-traffic volumes, such as Shanghai, could greatly benefit from helicopter sales and quick transit times. However, heavy air pollution can reduce visibility, presenting risk to flyers.
There is a lack of construction of new airports to aid in the growth of air transport.
Restrictions are still significant on private low-level flights in China – less than 500 meters in altitude.
A general lack of understanding of the nature of business aviation operations prevents the industry from growing.
Current prohibitions against helicopter landings at the major airports prevent a major use and sale of helicopters in the country.

What is encouraging, however, is the fact that China’s government has placed the development of business aviation high on its agenda and many flying enthusiasts believe that the country’s private jet aviation market is on the brink of a revolution. Buyers are spending as much as $2.5-million to get their private aircraft, which ranges from gliders to fully equipped private jet charter services. China regional governments have been backing the construction of new airports to facilitate the growth of commercial air transport in general, as well as supporting the reconsideration of the country’s current aviation laws to let private jets fly higher.

Private Jets with Wi-Fi Connections

Jet-WiFi

It seems like everywhere you go these days there is access to at least one Wi-Fi internet connection. It has become so common that many of us are almost shocked when we can’t find a wireless network available. Many commercial airlines have been offering Wi-Fi on flights for some time now. Surprisingly enough, private jets with Wi-Fi internet connections are still considered a luxury among luxuries. This is quickly becoming a thing of the past. More and more, we see the air charter industry responding to the increasing demand for Wi-Fi equipped private aircraft.

No Wi-Fi on this Jet?

One reason why private jets with Wi-Fi connections are not an industry standard yet is the technology is relatively new and expensive. Even for private jet components the price of the hardware and installation can be hefty. The equipment alone can cost up to $400,000 and the monthly service fees can be as high as $8,000. While commercial airlines can cover these expenses by charging a large number of passengers a small fee, business jet owners must recuperate these costs by either charging higher charter rates or picking up additional business by offering free Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi is a Must!

Many charter operations have seen a rise in demand and are urging owners to equip their private jets with Wi-Fi internet connections. Business travelers who are introduced to Wi-Fi on charter flights are starting to request private aircraft with an internet connection for every trip. After all, using a private jet for business travel is all about saving time and increasing productivity. What better way to do that than staying connected with work while traveling? We live in the information age and within almost every profession there is an ever growing dependence on instant access to email, data stored on clouds, stock prices, market information and even social media.

Top Three Benefits of Using a Jet Charter Service

G650

The Benefits of Using a Jet Charter Service

We’ve all waited in those long, winding lines at the airport waiting to go through security before waiting another hour or two to book our flight. Many flyers are unaware of the option of a private jet charter, which can save you from the typical hassles associated with flying on a commercial plane. Aside from providing luxury that is simply unavailable on commercial planes, a jet charter service allows you to save time and offers convenience and flexibility in schedule.

Comfort, Space, and Luxury

When flying with a private jet charter, you can travel comfortably with plenty of leg room, space, and sleeping quarters. Whether you want to converse with friends, watch a movie, take a nap, or simply sit back and relax on your flight, a jet charter service offers luxury that you can’t receive on a commercial plane. You can also travel comfortably with children and pets while receiving personal attention from staff.

Time is of the Essence

The average time spent at the airport when flying commercially is at least a couple of hours if you’re lucky. With a charter jet, you can eliminate wasted time at the airport and even fly into an airport closer to your destination, reducing your ground travel time upon landing. Consider the ease of stepping right onto your chartered jet and how much time it saves you when you don’t have to worry about overbooked flights, delays, connecting flights, and dealing with lost luggage.

Using a Jet Charter Service Means Convenience and Flexibility

With a chartered jet service, you get the schedule the date and time that works best for you – you also have the ability to schedule a flight at a moment’s notice. Jet Partners Worldwide works with your needs and budget without sacrificing safety or flexibility. Call us today at 1-866-235-2852.
