How to use our sources and dates

Archive note: This page covered the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition held in Shanghai in April 2013. Attendance, airport development, aircraft values, airspace rules, helicopter access, government priorities, and market forecasts from that period are not current facts.

The original article summarized remarks and reported attendance growth at ABACE 2013, then discussed perceived infrastructure and regulatory constraints. Those observations are useful only as a dated record of the issues being discussed at that event.

A current assessment of business aviation in China requires current regulator, airport, customs, airspace, operator, registration, and market sources. For an actual international charter, permits, traffic rights, airports, handling, aircraft, properly licensed direct carrier, itinerary, pricing, and written terms must be verified for the trip.
