Chinese operator Sino Jet is Asia Pacific's leading business jet operator for the third consecutive year, according to Asian Sky Media's 2021 Business Jet Fleet Report. It has been ranked number one by fleet size in the region; Sino Jet operated 46 aircraft in 2021, followed by BAA with 41 and Deer Jet with 39.

Mainland China consolidated its position as the largest market in the Asia Pacific region with a total of 340 business jets. In 2021, Sino Jet reinforced its position as Asia Pacific's biggest operator by having the most new deliveries of aircraft directly from OEMs, including the Bombardier Global 6500 and Gulfstream G650.

Sino Jet says: “Amid strong demand for business jet travel, stringent restrictions and quarantine requirements in many countries have placed new challenges on scheduling aircraft deliveries and aircraft maintenance work overseas. Sustaining safety and efficiency have become the keys to success in the market.”

In regard to these rising challenges, Sino Jet has put forward a business strategy to develop an extensive service network, comprehensive maintenance capabilities and an integrated information management. Sino Jet has invented a new aircraft delivery model, obtained operator and maintenance licenses for major business jet aircraft models in Greater China and created an information management system that is tailored for all aspects of business aircraft management.

In addition to its operating bases in Beijing and Hong Kong, Sino Jet continued to boost investment in its Shanghai branch in 2021 and established a new Jiangsu branch, which complements its Hangzhou base to form a strong Yangtze River Delta service network. At the same time, the company has also set up offices in Hebei and Fujian. Recently, it signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Hainan Free Trade Port, and its Hainan subsidiary has increased its charter capacity to meet demand from the port. To date, Sino Jet has operating bases and branches in 20 cities around the world.

Being a holder of multiple operator and maintenance licenses issued by national aviation authorities such as China, the US, Europe, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Aruba, the Isle of Man, Guernsey and San Marino, Sino Jet is able to provide management services to aircraft with various foreign registrations within China. Sino Jet is also licensed to provide qualified scheduled maintenance services to major business aircraft types from Bombardier, Gulfstream, Dassault and others, further enhancing their aircraft utilisation by removing the need to be serviced abroad.

Sino Jet has created its own information technology development subsidiary that has designed an advanced aircraft operation system, a maintenance management system, safety management system, flight quality monitoring system and other information systems. All these are designed to be highly integrated, to ensure traceability of all aircraft operations, as well as every safety and quality management process. These advanced systems are proven to play an important role in maximising aircraft preservation value.

The company adds: “We begin from the clients' perspective, care for their valuable assets through effective controls, make no compromise to safety and operate with the highest degree of efficiency; this is how Sino Jet gains trust and confidence from its customers, promotes the safety and convenience of business jet travel and develops new business jet ownerships. As the global economy recovers, the business jet market is expected to usher in even greater development.”
